Table of Contents
Question
You have been tasked with modifying an existing EDT for vehicle identification numbers to ensure that the string size accommodates VINs that are up to 17 characters long.
You need to extend the existing EDT without creating a new one, while adhering to the constraints of extending from another EDT.
What should you do?
Select only one answer.
A. Modify the base EDT directly to change the String size property to 17.
B. Create a new EDT derived from the existing one and set the String size property to 17.
C. Extend the existing EDT and set the String size property to 17.
D. Extend the existing EDT and set the String size property to a value less than the base EDT value.
Answer
C. Extend the existing EDT and set the String size property to 17.
Explanation
The correct action is to extend the existing EDT and adjust the String size property to 17, as this is the only way to increase the size without creating a new EDT. Creating a new EDT (Option B) would not be extending the existing one. Modifying the base EDT directly (Option A) is not allowed as per best practices and could lead to conflicts with other models. Setting the String size to a value less than the base EDT value (Option D) is not possible when extending an EDT.
