The LOVLanguageMode Argument


The LOVLanguageMode argument is an input argument for all of the Web Services v2.0 API methods. It determines whether the processing for picklist fields occurs using language independent codes (LIC) or language dependent codes (LDC). The argument is applicable only to simple picklist fields (which have an Edit Picklist link in the Field Setup page in the Oracle CRM On Demand application).

The LOVLanguageMode argument can take one of two values: LIC or LDC. LIC is the default value.

For methods other than QueryPage:

  • If LIC is specified, then Web Services On Demand expects LIC values and converts them to LDV (based on the user's current setting) and performs the processing.
  • If LDC is specified, no translation is performed and values are expected to be in the user's language.

For the QueryPage method:

  • If LIC is specified in the query, the response contains picklist fields with language independent values.
  • If LDC is specified in the query, the response contains picklist values in the user's language.
