- Method Detail
  - newCopy
```
public DDMRecordFormat newCopy()
```
    Returns a new copy of this record format, which includes a new copy of each DDMField. This is useful if multiple threads need to do field conversions on the same record format definition, since the DDMRecordFormat and DDMField classes are not thread-safe, each thread can be given its own copy of the record format, rather than using synchronization to share a single record format.
  - getName
```
public java.lang.String getName()
```
    Returns the name (WHNAME) of this record format.
  - getLibrary
```
public java.lang.String getLibrary()

```
public java.lang.String getFile()
```
    Returns the name of the file (WHFILE) for this record format.

```

    Returns the file type (WHFTYP) of record format.

public java.lang.String getText()
```
    Returns the text description (WHTEXT) of this record format.

```
public int getLength()
