PackedDecimalFieldDescription
public PackedDecimalFieldDescription(AS400PackedDecimal dataType, java.lang.String name)
Constructs a PackedDecimalFieldDescription object. It uses the specified data type and name of the field. The number of digits and the number of decimal positions will be determined from dataType.- Parameters:
dataType
- Describes the field and provides the conversion capability for the contents of the field.name
- The name of the field.
-
PackedDecimalFieldDescription
public PackedDecimalFieldDescription()
Constructs a PackedDecimalFieldDescription object.
-
PackedDecimalFieldDescription
public PackedDecimalFieldDescription(AS400PackedDecimal dataType, java.lang.String name, java.lang.String ddsName)
Constructs a PackedDecimalFieldDescription object. It uses the specified data type, name, and DDS name of the field. The number of digits and the number of decimal positions will be determined from dataType.- Parameters:
dataType
- Describes the field and provides the conversion capability for the contents of the field.name
- The name of the field.ddsName
- The DDS name of this field. This is the name of the field as it would appear in a DDS description of the field. The length of ddsName must be 10 characters or less.

Method Detail
-
getDecimalPositions
public int getDecimalPositions()
Returns the number of digits after the decimal point for this field.- Returns:
- The number of digits after the decimal point.
-
setDataType
public void setDataType(AS400PackedDecimal dataType)
Sets the AS400DataType object describing this field.- Parameters:
dataType
- The AS400DataType that describes this field. The dataType cannot be null.
-
setDFT
public void setDFT(java.math.BigDecimal defaultValue)
Sets the value for the DFT keyword for this field.- Parameters:
defaultValue
- The default value for this field. The defaultValue cannot be null. To set a default value of *NULL, use the setDFTNull() method.
-
setDFTNull
public void setDFTNull()
Sets the value for the DFT keyword to be *NULL for this field. Calling this method will replace the DFT keyword that was previously set on a call to setDFT(). Note: This field must also have its ALWNULL keyword set to true to prevent DDS errors.
