CONSTRUCTORS

new()

Base constructor for the class. It just returns a completely empty message object, which you'll need to populate with the various set_() methods, or use the read() method to read a Renew-Answer message from a file (followed by a call to from_asn() to turn the read's returned hash into a proper RenewAnswer message.

The constructor also initializes the Convert::ASN1 if it hasn't been initialized.

METHODS

For any example code, assume the following: my $msg = new Biblio::ILL::ISO::RenewAnswer;

from_asn($href)

To read a message from a file, use the following:

    my $href = $msg->read("msg_14.renew-answer.ber");
    $msg = $msg->from_asn($href);

The from_asn() method turns the hash returned from read() into a proper message-type object.

set_protocol_version_num($pvn)

 Sets the protocol version number.
 Acceptable parameter values are the strings:
    version-1
    version-2

set_transaction_id($tid)

 Sets the message's transaction-id.  
 Expects a valid Biblio::ILL::ISO::TransactionId.

    my $tid = new Biblio::ILL::ISO::TransactionId("PLS","001","", 
                                                  new Biblio::ILL::ISO::SystemId("MWPL"));
    $msg->set_transaction_id($tid);

 This is a mandatory field.

set_service_date_time($sdt)

 Sets the message's service-date-time.  
 Expects a valid Biblio::ILL::ISO::ServiceDateTime.

    my $dt_this = new Biblio::ILL::ISO::DateTime("20030623","114400");
    my $dt_orig = new Biblio::ILL::ISO::DateTime("20030623","114015")
    my $sdt = new Biblio::ILL::ISO::ServiceDateTime( $dt_this, $dt_orig);
    $msg->set_service_date_time($sdt);

 This is a mandatory field.

set_requester_id($reqid)

 Sets the message's requester-id.  
 Expects a valid Biblio::ILL::ISO::SystemId.

    my $reqid = new Biblio::ILL::ISO::SystemId();
    $reqid->set_person_name("David A. Christensen");
    $msg->set_requester_id($reqid);

 This is an optional field.

set_responder_id($resid)

 Sets the message's responder-id.  
 Expects a valid Biblio::ILL::ISO::SystemId.

    my $resid = new Biblio::ILL::ISO::SystemId("MWPL");
    $msg->set_responder_id($resid);

 This is an optional field.

set_answer($flag)

 Sets the message's answer flag.
 Acceptable parameter values are the strings:
    true
    false

 This is a mandatory field.

set_date_due($dd)

 Sets the message's date-due.
 Expects a valid Biblio::ILL::ISO::DateDue or a properly formatted
 date string and "renewable" status ("true" or "false").

    my $dd = new Biblio::ILL::ISO::DateDue("20030814","false");
    $msg->set_date_due($dd);

 This is a mandatory field.

set_responder_note($note)

 Sets the message's responder-note.
 Expects a valid Biblio::ILL::ISO::ILLString or a simple text string.

    $msg->set_responder_note("This is a responder note");

 This is an optional field.
