9 -- Description:
10 -- The Convert_Defs procedure has one very important function:
11 -- It must return the record structure for the row with all system defaulted
12 -- values converted into its corresponding parameter value for update. When
13 -- we attempt to update a row through the Upd process , certain
14 -- parameters can be defaulted which enables flexibility in the calling of
15 -- the upd process (e.g. only attributes which need to be updated need to be
16 -- specified). For the upd process to determine which attributes
17 -- have NOT been specified we need to check if the parameter has a reserved
18 -- system default value. Therefore, for all parameters which have a
19 -- corresponding reserved system default mechanism specified we need to
20 -- check if a system default is being used. If a system default is being
21 -- used then we convert the defaulted value into its corresponding attribute
22 -- value held in the g_old_rec data structure.
23 --
24 -- Prerequisites:
25 -- This private function can only be called from the upd process.
26 --
27 -- In Parameters:
28 -- A Pl/Sql record structre.
29 --
30 -- Post Success:
31 -- The record structure will be returned with all system defaulted parameter
32 -- values converted into its current row attribute value.
33 --
34 -- Post Failure:
35 -- No direct error handling is required within this function. Any possible
36 -- errors within this procedure will be a PL/SQL value error due to conversion
37
38 -- of datatypes or data lengths.
39 --
40 -- Developer Implementation Notes:
41 -- None.
42 -- Access Status:
43 -- Internal Row Handler Use Only.
