Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant and Description
AmpersandQuotedProperty Defines syntax for expression invoked object.[&PROPERTY] (a variant of Property).
Braces Defines syntax for expression invoked as {ARG, ...}; that is, the set construction operator.
Case Defines syntax for expression invoked as CASE ...
Cast Defines syntax for a CAST expression CAST(expression AS type).
Empty Defines the syntax for an empty expression.
Function Defines syntax for expression invoked FUNCTION() or FUNCTION(args).
Infix Defines syntax for expression invoked as arg OPERATOR arg (like '+' or 'AND').
Internal Defines syntax for expression generated by the system which cannot be specified syntactically.
Method Defines syntax for expression invoked invoked as object.METHOD() or object.METHOD(args).
Parentheses Defines syntax for expression invoked as (ARG) or (ARG, ...); that is, parentheses for grouping expressions, and the tuple construction operator.
Postfix Defines syntax for expression invoked as arg OPERATOR (like IS EMPTY).
Prefix Defines syntax for expression invoked as OPERATOR arg (like unary '-').
Property Defines syntax for expression invoked as object.PROPERTY.
QuotedProperty Defines syntax for expression invoked object.&PROPERTY (a variant of Property).

Enum Constant Detail

Function

public static final Syntax Function

Defines syntax for expression invoked FUNCTION() or FUNCTION(args).

Property

public static final Syntax Property

Defines syntax for expression invoked as object.PROPERTY.

Method

public static final Syntax Method

Defines syntax for expression invoked invoked as object.METHOD() or object.METHOD(args).

Infix

public static final Syntax Infix

Defines syntax for expression invoked as arg OPERATOR arg (like '+' or 'AND').

Prefix

public static final Syntax Prefix

Defines syntax for expression invoked as OPERATOR arg (like unary '-').

Postfix

public static final Syntax Postfix

Defines syntax for expression invoked as arg OPERATOR (like IS EMPTY).

Braces

public static final Syntax Braces

Defines syntax for expression invoked as {ARG, ...}; that is, the set construction operator.

Parentheses

public static final Syntax Parentheses

Defines syntax for expression invoked as (ARG) or (ARG, ...); that is, parentheses for grouping expressions, and the tuple construction operator.

Case

public static final Syntax Case

Defines syntax for expression invoked as CASE ... END.

Internal

public static final Syntax Internal

Defines syntax for expression generated by the system which cannot be specified syntactically.

Cast

public static final Syntax Cast

Defines syntax for a CAST expression CAST(expression AS type).

QuotedProperty

public static final Syntax QuotedProperty

Defines syntax for expression invoked object.&PROPERTY (a variant of Property).

AmpersandQuotedProperty

public static final Syntax AmpersandQuotedProperty

Defines syntax for expression invoked object.[&PROPERTY] (a variant of Property).

Empty

public static final Syntax Empty

Defines the syntax for an empty expression. Empty expressions can occur within function calls, and are denoted by a pair of commas with only whitespace between them, for example

DrillDownLevelTop({[Product].[All Products]}, 3, , [Measures].[Unit Sales])

Method Detail

values

public static Syntax[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (Syntax c : Syntax.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static Syntax valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

unparse

public void unparse(String operatorName,
           List<ParseTreeNode> argList,
           ParseTreeWriter writer)

Converts a call to a function of this syntax into source code.

Parameters:

operatorName - Operator name

argList - List of arguments

writer - Writer
