Description
Returns
an indication of whether the entity exists or not.
Note: This method became
available in version 2002.05.00.
Note: In version 7.0 the limit on the
number of records that can be stored increased so the range of DBIDs also
increased. However, Rational ClearQuest clients earlier than
version 7.0 cannot display records with database identifiers (DBIDs) higher
than the former limit. For more information on DBIDs, see
Working with records
