  Returns the current value of the parameter. Note: calling below methods will change the current value: setValue, set, and setDefaultIndex. If a ParamDesc is defined with a value list, then the current value of a newly created instance (any of the above 3 methods is not called yet) of ParamDesc will be the one in the value list specified at a defined time. If a ParamDesc represents a bind column parameter(including part of cascading parameter), when it is the first time to set a value list by setValues() and any of the above 3 methods is not called, calling getValue() will select the last item in the value list as the current value and return it, provided the value list is not empty. For an empty or undefined value list, the current value of a newly created instance (any of the above 3 methods is not called yet) of ParamDesc will be a DbValue with its bNull attribute = true.

public Vector getValues()
```
  Gets all the values, not caring the format. If it is a bind type parameter, the order matches getShowValues. NOTE: the values are formatted by "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS" and timezone "GMT". It's highly recommanded to call getDisplayValues(Locale) instead.
  
  See Also:
  
  After check with server, ria and designer parts which use this method, they really do not use the values return by this methods. This method only use to drive load value list from database when it is needed. So, we do some the following adjustment. When bind column and display column are different, we will return display column value by string vector directly. Otherwise, we will return string value vector which max data number is 100 for a better performance.
- getValues
```
public Vector getValues(Locale loc,
                        TimeZone z)
```
  Returns the all value list of a parameter. Each element of the returned vector is a UserInput object. If an element is not an expression, its getUserInput() method will return a same string as getDisplayValue(Locale). But if the loc is null, these non-expression elements will be same as getValues().
  
  Parameters:
  
  loc -
  
  Returns:
- getValues
```

  Parameters:
  
  loc -
  
  Returns:
- getDefaultIndex
```
public int getDefaultIndex()
```
  Returns the index of the current value in the value list. This value indicates the corresponding relationship between the current value and the value list only when setValue(...) or setDefaultIndex() is called after setValues().

               throws jet.exception.InvalidParameterException
```
  Sets(or changes) the value list of this parameter. After this method is called, the caller must select one from the list as the current value by calling the setDefaultIndex()or setValue() immediately. Otherwise, the corresponding relationship between the current value and the value list will be broken.
  
  Parameters:
  
  vStrValue - The value list to be set for the parameter. Elements are strings or UserInput .
  
  locale - The locale used to parse the non-expression elements. If the locale is null, default locale is used.

```
  Selects the nth value in the value list as the current value. The current value will be changed if the value list is empty, but calling getInternalValue() will return "". Does nothing when isAllSetected() is true for the multi-value parameter. If i is -1, or larger than the size of the value list, selects the last one as the current value.

```
  Deprecated. Replaced by setValue(UserInput, Timestamp, Locale)
  
  Sets the current value of this parameter. If the format of the input value is not consistent with the locale, an InvalidParameterException will be thrown. After format checking, the input value will be checked to see if it is out of range in the value list when the parameter has a value list. There 3 options to choose when out of range: use default: the input value is discarded and uses getDefaultValue() as the current value; Warn: the input value is rejected and a warning message is thrown through InvalidParameterException. Use directly: applies the input value as the current value. If the input value passed the range checking, the return value of getDefaultIndex() will also be updated to the index of the input value in the value list. If the input value is not in the value list, it will be updated to -1.

  For FS #118058 FeatureImplement_NLS enhancement This method can translate each item of a parameter value list into another language. The value list to translate could be: 1) when this parameter is a bind column parameter(include cascading), the value lsit is loaded from database or some other data source 2) when this parameter is used as 'group by', the value list is set by caller to call setValues(Vector, Locale) or similar method 3) when this parameter is created with default values defined 4) when this parameter has been inputed some value, the last inputed value maybe hold in value list of this parameter This method does not concern about what the language source and target language is. It just calls translate tool(JFieldValueNLSManager or MetaNLSKit) to get a translated string.
  
  Parameters:
  
  l -
  
  needTranslate - should translate the value list item to another language or not
  
  Returns:
