Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`java.lang.String`	`getConditionalQualifier()`	Gets the conditional (secondary) qualifier.
`java.lang.String`	`getDSS()`	Returns the issuer code (or Data Source Scheme or DSS).
`boolean`	`isDSSPresent()`	Checks if the issuer code (or Data Source Scheme or DSS) is present.

- Method Detail
  - getDSS
```
java.lang.String getDSS()
```
    Returns the issuer code (or Data Source Scheme or DSS). The DSS is only present in some generic fields, when present, is equals to component two.
    
    Returns:
    
    DSS component value or null if the DSS is not set or not available for this field.
  - isDSSPresent
```
boolean isDSSPresent()
```
    Checks if the issuer code (or Data Source Scheme or DSS) is present.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if DSS is present, false otherwise.
    
    See Also:
    
    getDSS()
  - getConditionalQualifier
```
java.lang.String getConditionalQualifier()
```
    Gets the conditional (secondary) qualifier.
    In generic fields this is normally the component following the DSS or the double slash separator when the field does not has a DSS component; so in most cases this method returns either 2 or 3 depending if the field contains a DSS component or not. For some specific fields the conditionally qualifier could be something different, for example in fields 69D and 92H it is the component 4.
    
    Returns:
    
    for generic fields returns the value of the conditional qualifier or null if not set or not applicable for this field.
