MboValueData (Maximo API)

java.lang.Object
- psdi.mbo.MboValueData

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable
```
public class MboValueData
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable
```
Class used by a GUI client to access information about length, data type etc. of a field. Implements Serializable and is returned to the client over a remote connection so care must be taken in making this larger!
