`void`	`clearErrors()` Clears out the parse errors from memory
`void`	`clearRows()` Clears out the rows in memory from the last parse.
`int`	`getIndex()` Returns the index the pointer is on for the array
`int`	`getRowCount()` Returns the total number of rows parsed in from the file
`void`	`goBottom()` Goes to the last record in the dataset
`void`	`goTop()` Goes to the top of the data set.
`boolean`	`isAnError(int lineNo)` Returns true or false as to whether or not the line number contains an error.
`void`	`orderRows(OrderBy ob)` Orders the data by column(s) specified.
`boolean`	`previous()` Moves back to the previous record in the set return true if move was a success, false if not

- Method Detail
  - goTop
```
void goTop()
```
    Goes to the top of the data set. This will put the pointer one record before the first in the set. Next() will have to be called to get the first record after this call.
  - goBottom
```
void goBottom()
```
    Goes to the last record in the dataset
  - previous
```
boolean previous()
```
    Moves back to the previous record in the set return true if move was a success, false if not
    
    Returns:
    
    boolean
  - remove
```
void remove()
```
    Removes a row from the dataset. Once the row is removed the pointer will be sitting on the record previous to the deleted row.
  - getIndex
```
int getIndex()
```
    Returns the index the pointer is on for the array
    
    Returns:
    
    int
  - getRowCount
```
int getRowCount()
```
    Returns the total number of rows parsed in from the file
    
    Returns:
    
    int - Row Count
  - isAnError
```
boolean isAnError(int lineNo)
```
    Returns true or false as to whether or not the line number contains an error. The import will skip the line if it contains an error and it will not be processed
    
    Parameters:
    
    lineNo - - int line number
    
    Returns:
    
    boolean
  - orderRows
```
void orderRows(OrderBy ob)
```
    Orders the data by column(s) specified. This will reposition the cursor to the top of the DataSet when executed. This is currently not supported when specifying <RECORD> elements in the mapping. An exception will be thrown if this situation occurs
    
    Parameters:
    
    ob - - OrderBy object
    
    See Also:
    
    OrderBy, OrderColumn
  - setLowerCase
```
void setLowerCase()
```
    Sets data in the DataSet to lowercase
  - setUpperCase
```
void setUpperCase()
```
    Sets data in the DataSet to uppercase
  - absolute
```
void absolute(int localPointer)
```
    Sets the absolute position of the record pointer
    
    Parameters:
    
    localPointer - - int
  - setStrictNumericParse
```
void setStrictNumericParse(boolean strictNumericParse)
```
    Setting this to True will parse text as is and throw a NumberFormatException. Setting to false, which is the default, will remove any non numeric character from the field. The remaining numeric chars's will be returned. If it is an empty string,or there are no numeric chars, 0 will be returned for getInt() and getDouble()
    
    Parameters:
    
    strictNumericParse - The strictNumericParse to set.
  - setPZConvertProps
```
void setPZConvertProps(Properties props)
```
    Sets the properties from the pzconvert.properties file. This file specifies the PZConverter implementation to use for a particular class
    
    Parameters:
    
    props - Property mapping for String to Object conversion
  - setValue
```
void setValue(String column,
              String value)
```
    Changes the value of the given column only for the given row which the pointer is currently sitting on.
    
    Parameters:
    
    column - Column name to set the value for
    
    value - Value to change the column to
  - clearRows
```
void clearRows()
```
    Clears out the rows in memory from the last parse.
  - clearErrors
```
void clearErrors()
```
    Clears out the parse errors from memory
  - clearAll
```
void clearAll()
```
    Clears both the errors and rows from memory
