Why do nanosecond time fields match OMMTypes.TIME and not OMMTypes.TIME_8

sean.mahony

When I compare data.getType() for nanosecond fields they
always equal OMMTypes.TIME. I never see time fields equal the 8 bytes type
OMMTypes.TIME_8.
Is this correct?
When is OMMTypes.TIME_8 used and when should I test for it?

if( dataType == OMMTypes.TIME ||
dataType == OMMTypes.TIME_3 ||
dataType == OMMTypes.TIME_5 ||
dataType == OMMTypes.TIME_7 ||
dataType == OMMTypes.TIME_8 )

if( dataType == OMMTypes.DATETIME ||
dataType == OMMTypes.DATETIME_7 ||
dataType == OMMTypes.DATETIME_9 ||
dataType == OMMTypes.DATETIME_11 ||
dataType == OMMTypes.DATETIME_12 )

Thanks

Hi @sean.mahony

This
is an expected behavior. While decoding, the RFA JAVA getType() function will
only return TIME. The width specified TIME (like TIME_8) is used ONLY when
encoding set definitions (Defined Data).
