com.sas.iquery.dataservices.PossibleFilterValue

public class PossibleFilterValue

Specifies an object that wrappers a pair of formatted and unformatted data items that are retrieved within the context of getPossibleFilterValues(). This type of object is returned to the consumer who can then obtain the desired data whether it be formatted or unformatted data. *

 Usage example:

  // iqService is an IntelligentQueryMetadataServiceInterface.
        IQDataServicesInterface iqDataServ = IQDataServicesFactory.newService(iqService);
        
                try {
                        List possibleValues = iqDataServ.getPossibleFilterValues(dataItem);
                        Iterator it = possibleValues.iterator();
                        PossibleFilterValue value = null;
 
                        while (it.hasNext()) {
                                value = (PossibleFilterValue)it.next();
                                System.out.println("Formatted: " + value.getFormatted());
 
                                // Make a call to get the JDBC result type
                                int type = value.getJDBCType();
                                System.out.println("Unformatted: " + value.getUnformatted());
 
                                // Save unformatted data into a Java variable
                                // In this case we know the data is Date type.
                                Date myDate = (Date)value.getUnformatted();
 
                                // Do more stuff...
                        }
 
                } catch (DataServicesException e) {
                        // handle exception
                }
 

Method Summary
