Retrieves the in/out parameter type for this stored-procedure parameter.
Syntax
String getParamIOType()
Parameters
None.
Return values
Returns the in/out type of the associated UserStoredProcedureParam parameter.
Exceptions
None.
Notes
The in/out parameter type indicates how the stored procedure uses the parameter. It can be the string representation of one of the following:
An IN parameter is input only; that is, the stored procedure accepts its value as input but does not use the parameter to return a value. The getParamIOType() returns the in/out parameter type as "IN".
An INOUT parameter is input and output; that is, the stored procedure accepts its value as input and also uses the parameter to return a value. The getParamIOType() returns the in/out parameter type as "INOUT".
An OUT parameter is output only; that is, the stored procedure does not read its value as input but does use the parameter to return a value. The getParamIOType() returns the in/out parameter type as "OUT".
