Method Detail

getInheritFromParent

public int getInheritFromParent()

Returns an integer which describes how variable values are inherited from its parent.

• 0 ... All values
• 1 ... Defined values only
• 2 ... None

Returns:

Inherit mode

valueKeyIterator

public java.util.Iterator<java.lang.String> valueKeyIterator()

Returns an iterator over validity keywords. All validity keywords have the type java.lang.String

Returns:

Iterator

parentValueKeyIterator

public java.util.Iterator<java.lang.String> parentValueKeyIterator()

Returns an iterator over parent validity keywords. All parent validity keywords have the type java.lang.String

Returns:

Iterator

replaceValue

public boolean replaceValue(java.lang.String kw,
                   java.lang.String value)

Replaces an existing value.

Parameters:

kw - Key

value - Value

Returns:

If true the value will be replaced if a key with this name does already exist

Parameters:

kw - Key

value - Value

Returns:

If true the value and the overrideDefinition will be replaced if a key with this name already exists.

valueSize

public int valueSize()

Returns:

Number of entries in the Variable.

parentValueSize

public int parentValueSize()

Returns:

Number of PromptSet entries

promptSetIterator

public java.util.Iterator<PromptSetDefinition> promptSetIterator()

Returns an iterator over PromptSetDefinition.

Returns:

Iterator

getValue
