    Description of the method

     

    Description:

    ->size() returns the occurrence number of the specified element.

    Please note that this differs from size used with dot notation, .size(), as that method returns the length of element in OCL.
     
    Available for:

    base64binary, boolean, datetime, double/decimal, date, hexBinary, integer, string, double/decimal and integer
    Parameters: -
    Return type: integer

    Example1

     

    Context: TransactionType1
    OCL:

    self.Creditor.Name->size() = 1
     
    Description: The example rule mandates the usage of both Creditor Name. I.e. the size of occurrence number of element Creditor / Name has to be 1.

     

    The XML snippet below would pass this check.

      <Transaction>
        <Id>203</Id>
        <Amount>201</Amount>
        <Debtor>
          <Name>Debtor2</Name>
        </Debtor>
        <Creditor>
          <Name>Creditor2</Name>
        </Creditor>
      </Transaction>
      <Transaction>

    The other snippet below however would not pass

      <Transaction>
        <Id>203</Id>
        <Amount>201</Amount>
        <Creditor>
       
        </Creditor>
      </Transaction>
      <Transaction>
