IScalarData Class

Represents a scalar value in the AIMMS model. This can be an actual scalar parameter/variable or an IDataView with dimension zero.

Scalar objects can be created using openScalar on the ISession.

C++

class IScalarData : virtual public IData;

Name	Description
IScalarData Members	The following tables list the members exposed by IScalarData.

	Name	Description
	asDouble	Returns the value of the scalar data. Applies to double valued scalars only.
	asElement	Returns the value of the scalar data. Applies to element valued scalars only.
	asInt	Returns the value of the scalar data. Applies to double valued scalars, and to element valued scalar of which the range is a subset of Integers.
	asString	Returns the value of the scalar data. Applies to string valued scalars, and to element valued scalar of which the range is not a subset of Integers.
	createElementValue	Creates an IElement associated with the same set as the range of this scalar element valued data.
	getValue	Retrieves the value.
	setValue	Assigns the value.

	Name	Description
	=	The value of a scalar can be assigned easily by means of the operator '='. The right hand side must match the value type of the scalar, else an InvalidUseException is thrown.
