2.4.6.4 AString

The component AString redefines the following defaults:

Prop. Type Default Comment

name string no default The name is the only mandatory arguments when instanciating a AString. Once set, it should not be changed
type string 'string' No matter whether you run python2.1 (where type('').__name__=='string') or python2.2 (where type('').__name__=='str'), you should always use 'string' for a character type.
externalType string 'VARCHAR'
width int 255
defaultValue ''
usedForLocking int 1

Prop.	Type	Default	Comment
`name`	`string`	no default	The `name` is the only mandatory arguments when instanciating a `AString`. Once set, it should not be changed
`type`	`string`	`'string'`	No matter whether you run python2.1 (where `type('').__name__=='string'`) or python2.2 (where `type('').__name__=='str'`), you should always use 'string' for a character type.
`externalType`	`string`	`'VARCHAR'`
`width`	`int`	`255`
`defaultValue`		`''`
`usedForLocking`	`int`	`1`

Note: For details about these properties and their meaning, please refer to 2.3.3.

Of course, you can redefine the defaults for AString in your PyModel to fit your needs. For example, if you prefer to use TEXT, you'll probably add this to your PyModel:

AString.defaults['externalType'] = 'TEXT'
AString.defaults['width'] = 0
