NAME

Biblio::ILL::ISO::ENUMERATED

VERSION

Version 0.01

DESCRIPTION

Biblio::ILL::ISO::ENUMERATED is a derivation of Biblio::ILL::ISO::ILLASNtype.
It functions as a base class for any class that needs to handle enumerated types.
Any derived class must define it's own new() method, in which the list of possible/acceptable
values is defined.

USES

None.

FROM THE ASN DEFINITION

 (as an example of an enumeration) 

 ILL-Service-Type ::= ENUMERATED  {
	loan 	                (1),
	copy-non-returnable 	(2),
	locations 	        (3),
	estimate 	        (4),
	responder-specific 	(5)
	}

METHODS

new( [$enumeration_value] )

This will be overridden in any derived class.

set( $enumeration_value )

Sets the object's "ENUMERATED" value by doing a lookup of the parameter in the object's list of valid values. Croaks on invalid parameter values.

as_string( )

Returns a stringified representation of the object.

as_pretty_string( )

Returns a more-formatted stringified representation of the object.

as_asn( )

Returns a structure usable by Convert::ASN1. Generally only called from the parent's as_asn() method (or encode() method for top-level message-type objects).

from_asn($href)

Given a properly formatted hash, builds the object.

SEE ALSO

See the README for system design notes. See the parent class(es) for other available methods. See the derived classes for examples of use.
