code_list
|
The code list name of the user code type (using the credit card example
above, this might be similar to “CREDCARD”). This column links
the values for each list.
|
|
code
|
The processing code of each user code element.
|
|
description
|
A brief description or name for the user code element. This is the value
that appears in the drop-down list.
|
|
format
|
The required data pattern for the field that is constrained by the user
code. For more information about possible values and using Java patterns,
see “Patterns” in the class list for java.util.regex in
the Javadocs provided with Java. Note that the pattern might be
further restricted by the value of the input mask described below.
|
|
input-mask
|
A mask used by the EDM to add punctuation to the constrained
field. For example, the input mask DD-DDD-DDD inserts
a hyphen after the second and fifth characters in an 8-digit ID. If you use
an input mask, you should also use a value mask to strip the punctuation for
database storage (see below).
The following character types can be used.
|
|
value-mask
|
A mask used to strip any extra characters that were added by the input
mask for database storage. The value mask is the same as the input mask, but
with an “x” in place of each punctuation mark. Using the input
mask described above, the value mask is DDxDDDxDDD.
This strips the hyphens before storing the ID.
