matchAnyData

void matchAnyData(boolean match)

Matches a file that has any data.

FileQueryRecord getFileQueryRecord(Type fileRecordType)
                            throws OperationFailedException

Gets the file query record corresponding to the given File record Type .Multiple record retrievals produce a nested boolean OR term.

Parameters:

fileRecordType - a file record type

Returns:

the file query record
