Syntax

DisplayDataDomain: DbDataDomain;

Description

The DisplayDataDomain property returns type of multibyte information displayed in the attribute.

Comments

To get data type to save mulltibyte information in the attribute, use the IDimAttributeInstance.DataDomain property.

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains an MDM dictionary with the TMDMDICT_MEMO identifier. The dictionary should contain several values.

To execute the example, add links to the Dal, Dimensions, Metabase system assemblies.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    mb: IMetabase;
    dimension: IDimInstance;
    attribute: IDimAttributeInstance;
    attributes: IDimAttributesInstance;
    i: Integer;
Begin
    // Get current repository
    mb := MetabaseClass.Active;
    // Get MDM dictionary
    dimension := mb.ItemById("TMDMDICT_MEMO").Open(Null) As IDimInstance;
    // Get dictionary attributes
    attributes := dimension.Attributes;
    // Parse obtained attributes
    For i := 0 To attributes.Count - 1 Do
        attribute := attributes.Item(i);
        // If attribute displays data of the Long Text type, display its value
        If (attribute.DisplayDataDomain = DbDataDomain.Memo) And
            (attribute.Attribute.DataType = DbDataType.String) Then
            Debug.WriteLine("Value of the first element: " + attribute.Value(0));
        End If;
    End For;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example for the first dictionary element, the console displays value of the Long Text attribute type, if it exists in the MDM dictionary.
