Overview
The XBRLGetConceptByID function returns a concept by ID.
Syntax/Parameters
Syntax
string[] = XBRLGetConcept ( handle hXM, string id );
Parameters
hXM
A handle to an XBRL Object containing taxonomy data..
id
A string containing a concept ID. The value is case-sensitive.
Return Value
Returns a string list of concept properties or an empty array on failure. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve a formatted error code.
On success, the last error will context the position of the concept in the concept table.
Remarks
Generally, each concept in the concept table will contain a unique ID which can be used to identify the concept. This function can be used to locate a concept using that ID. However, since the concept table can be build from multiple taxonomies and source files, it is possible that entries may share the same ID. (this is bad practice but it does happen). The XBRLGetConceptByHREF uses both the ID and a corresponding URL/URI to match the record.
The list employs the key names specified at Section 11.20.14 Taxonomy — Concepts.
