/images/arrow_right.png ISearchTMA interface V1.00/ 3 Aug 2025 
The ISearchTMA interface allows browsing and retrieval of detailed service information from the "TMA::LKAAT" tariff catalog. A search process in the service record domain of the selected tariff catalog can be performed by code, name, or chapter respectively. The search terms may be specified in full or may include wildcards. After a successful search, all of the available information directly related to the search term is made available through the interface"s properties.

The search method (e.g. SearchGeneral) produce as a result a selection list, composed of zero or more service records. The total number of records in the list can be retrieved with the GetRecordCount method. The record pointer is initially positioned at the first entry of the selection list and the positioning methods MoveFirst, MoveLast, MoveNext, MovePrevious, PutAbsolutePosition, and GetAbsolutePosition are used to manipulate the selected record. The information related to the current record is made available through the interface"s properties like GetName for retrieving the service title.

There are further search methods that are specific for specialized task like search for main trigger services (service is of type P(OR) and/or P(notOR), or to search for an ICD code usable in a certain capitulum.

GetAbortInfo Fetches the abort/error information if there is any stored
GetAbsolutePosition Gets the current absolute position of the record pointer in the selection list
GetFirstOptServiceTree This is the first iterator over the results of the FindOptServiceTree method
GetNextOptServiceTree This is one iterator over the results of the FindOptServiceTree method
GetRecordCount Gets the number of TMA service records in the selection list based on the last search call
Initialize Initializes the validation and clears all previously added ACF service records

MoveNext Moves the record pointer to the next TMA record in the selection list and makes that record the current record
MovePrevious Moves the record pointer to the previous TMA record in the selection list and makes that record the current record
PutAbsolutePosition Positions the record pointer at the specified absolute position in the TMA selection list.
