XBRLValidateByDataType Function

Overview

The XBRLValidateByDataType function allows a string to be validated by a specified XBRL Data Type.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

int = XBRLValidateByDataType ( [handle hXM], string type, string data );

Parameters

hXM

An optional handle to an XBRL Object.

type

A string specifying the Data Type name to validate against.

data

A string containing the data to validate.

Return Value

Returns an int as ERROR_NONE on a successful validation or an error code on failure. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve the same formatted error code and GetLastErrorMessage to retrieve narrative on the error.

Remarks

If an XBRL Model Object is not provided, the model is reinitialized and the Data Type table reloaded on every call. This can be very inefficient and should be avoided when validating a large number of data items. To avoid this, a call to XBRLCreateObject can be run and the handle used on each call.

When using the default model, only XML and XBRL defined data types will be available. To import other data types (schemas), a taxonomy must be loaded or data type schemas imported.
