Interface InputRecordInterface

All Known Implementing Classes:

InputRecordInfo, InputRecordInvalid

public interface InputRecordInterface

This is the required interface for any InputInterface function that returns an input record to the calling Driver. In general, null or values less than 1 indicate unsuccessful attempts to retrieve the desired record, or that the source has reached the end of input (EOF).

For this reason, the InputRecordInvalid concrete implementation is provided and an instance of this should be returned to indicate invalid data.
