# clsMCOCollection

`clsMCOCollection` is an alternate/duplicate MCO collection retrieval type that calls the same
stored procedure (`pk72846_view_policy.getmco`) as `clsPolicyMCOCollection`.* Its presence alongside
`clsPolicyMCOCollection` was flagged as a possible code-duplication concern during analysis (see
Open questions in `overview.md`).

## Purpose
- Retrieves MCO assignments for a policy via `pk72846_view_policy.getmco` — functionally overlapping with `clsPolicyMCOCollection`.*

## Context
- Namespace: `SAIF.Business.View.Policy`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.Business.View.Policy` (embedded library reference)

## Public members
| Member | Signature | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `GetMCOCollection` | `Shared Function GetMCOCollection(DPI As IDataPortalInfo, PolicyNum As Decimal) As clsMCOCollection` | Retrieves the MCO assignment collection for a policy. |
| `Item` | `Default ReadOnly Property Item(index As Integer) As clsPolicyMCO` | Returns the MCO assignment at the given index. |
| `Count` | `ReadOnly Property Count As Integer` | Number of MCO assignments retrieved. |

## Inherited public members

Members in this section are inherited from `clsBusinessCollectionBase` in `saif.framework.core`.
They are available on this type through inheritance.

| Member | Signature | Purpose | Origin |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `IsFirst` / `First()` / `FirstItem` | Traversal members | Navigate to and identify the first item in the collection.† | `saif.framework.core` — `clsBusinessCollectionBase` |
| `ErrorCount` / `ErrorMessages` | Properties | Aggregated error count/messages across all member items.† | `saif.framework.core` — `clsBusinessCollectionBase` |

## Behavioral notes
- No functional difference from `clsPolicyMCOCollection` was identified beyond the class name and consuming call sites; consumers should confirm which type is actively used before making changes.*

## Constraints and usage notes
- This is flagged as a candidate for consolidation with `clsPolicyMCOCollection` in a future refactor.**

> **Note:** Statements marked with `†` are derived from dependency library
> documentation via the Legends CLI. Statements marked with `*` were inferred
> from code structure or contextual evidence. Statements marked with `**` could
> not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified.
