What Types Of Value Sets?

1.	What Types Of Value Sets?
Answer» NONE: A value set of the type None has no list of approved values associated with it. A None value set PERFORMS only MINIMAL checking of, for EXAMPLE, data type and length. INDEPENDENT: Independent type value sets perform basic checking but also check a value entered against the list of approved values you define. DEPENDENT: A dependent value set is associated with an independent value set. Dependent value sets ensure that all dependent value are associated with a value in the related independent value set. TABLE: Table value sets OBTAIN their lists of approved values from EXISTING applications tables. When defining your table value set, you specify a SQL query to retrieve all the approved values from the table. SPECIAL: This specialized value set provides another flexfield as a value set for a single segment. PAIR: This specialized value set provides a range flexfield as a value set for a pair of segments. TRANSLATED INDEPENDENT: This works similar to Independent type. However, a Translated Independent value set can contain display values that are translated into different languages. TRANSLATED DEPENDENT: This works similar to Dependent type. However, a Translated Dependent value set can contain display values that are translated into different languages.
