EMA Cons260 decode Data::BlankEnum

shenping22975

Hi

I am puzzled by the EMA example Cons260,here is the code

while ( fl.forth( searchList ) ) // search for a set of matching fids

{

const FieldEntry& fe = fl.getEntry();

cout << "Name: " << fe.getName() << " Value: ";

if ( fe.getCode() == Data::BlankEnum )

cout << " blank" << endl;

else

switch ( fe.getLoadType() )

{

case DataType::RealEnum:

cout << fe.getReal().getAsDouble() << endl;

break;

case DataType::DateEnum:

cout << (UInt64)fe.getDate().getDay() << " / " << (UInt64)fe.getDate().getMonth() << " / " << (UInt64)fe.getDate().getYear() << endl;

break;

case DataType::TimeEnum:

cout << (UInt64)fe.getTime().getHour() << ":" << (UInt64)fe.getTime().getMinute() << ":" << (UInt64)fe.getTime().getSecond() << ":" << (UInt64)fe.getTime().getMillisecond() << endl;

break;

case DataType::IntEnum:

cout << fe.getInt() << endl;

break;

.....

......

What is Data::BlankEnum? What is the purpose of this line? And what is the cout of RefreshMsg or UpdateMsg which contains the BlankEnum？Is there an example of this type，thanks.

if ( fe.getCode() == Data::BlankEnum )

Thanks for reaching out to us.

This is the output of cout of a message that contains blank data.

All primitive datatype types can be blank. A blank value indicates that no value is currently present and any previously stored or displayed primitive value should be cleared.
