Items with a codelist.

Return type

One of the following:

  • String (for Oracle Central Designer string types).
  • Double (for Oracle Central Designer float types).
  • Int32 (for Oracle Central Designer Integer and YesNo types).

Description

Codelist item in the codelist that is associated with the item.

When you use a codelist item in a rule expression, the value of the codelist item is used.

Purpose

The alias of a codelist item is useful because you can use the alias in place of the code in the codelist. The Rule Wizard allows you to drag the codelist item as a replacement for the code, so you do not have to memorize it or close the Rule Wizard to determine the value.
