    • Method Detail

      • getTIMFMT

        public java.lang.String getTIMFMT()
        Returns the value specified for the TIMFMT keyword for this field.
        Returns:
        The value specified for TIMFMT for this field. If TIMFMT was not specified for this field, an empty string is returned.

      • getTIMSEP

        public java.lang.String getTIMSEP()
        Returns the value specified for the TIMSEP keyword for this field.
        Returns:
        The value specified for TIMSEP for this field. If TIMSEP was not specified for this field, an empty string is returned.

      • setDataType

        public void setDataType(AS400Text dataType)
        Sets the AS400DataType object describing this field.
        Parameters:
        dataType - The AS400DataType that describes this field. The dataType cannot be null.

      • setDataType

        public void setDataType(AS400Time 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.lang.String 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.

      • setDFTCurrent

        public void setDFTCurrent()
        Sets the default value for this field to be the current date. Calling this method will replace the DFT keyword that was previously set on a call to setDFT(String) or setDFTNull().

      • 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(String) or setDFTCurrent(). Note: This field must also have its ALWNULL keyword set to true to prevent DDS errors.

      • setTIMFMT

        public void setTIMFMT(java.lang.String timeFormat)
        Sets the value to specify for the TIMFMT keyword for this field.
        Parameters:
        timeFormat - The value to specify for TIMFMT for this field. The timeFormat cannot be null.

      • setTIMSEP

        public void setTIMSEP(java.lang.String separator)
        Sets the value to specify for the TIMSEP keyword for this field.
        Parameters:
        separator - The value to specify for TIMSEP for this field. A null value indicates "no separator".
