Static Lookup Values

The values for a lookup column can also be defined directly in the IDD configuration file - no lookup table is used.

The columnStaticLookups element is used to define this, as shown in the following example.

<column columnUid="C_PARTY|GENDER_CD" editStyle="FIELD" horizontalStyle="SMALL">
      <columnStaticLookups>
         <columnStaticLookup code="M" name="MALE"/>
         <columnStaticLookup code="F" name="FEMALE"/>
      </columnStaticLookups>
   </column>

This example specifies that only values 'M' and 'F' can be stored in the column C_PARTY|GENDER_CD. For this column, the IDD application creates a dropdown list populated with the values 'MALE' and 'FEMALE'.

Static lookup values can also be localized, as shown in the following example.

<column columnUid="C_PARTY|GENDER_CD" editStyle="FIELD" horizontalStyle="SMALL">
      <columnStaticLookups>
         <columnStaticLookup code="M" name="MALE"/>
         <columnStaticLookup code="F" name="FEMALE"/>
         <columnStaticLookup code="M" name="MANN" languageCode="de" countryCode="DE"/>
         <columnStaticLookup code="F" name="FRAU" languageCode="de"  countryCode="DE"/>
      </columnStaticLookups>
   </column>
