# LOAD_FFF {fixed_field_file_path} USING {fixed_field_file_descriptor_path} AS {fixed_field_file}

What: This macro will load the fixed field file descriptor and the fixed field file. Then it will verify that the fixed field file is valid by using the fixed field file descriptor. And at least it checked that the fixed field file has the expected autonumbers. The macro will also convert the fixed field file into a resource of type fixed.fileld.file.

# LOAD_FFF {fixed_field_file_path} USING {fixed_field_file_descriptor_path} AS {fixed_field_file}

=>

LOAD {fixed_field_file_descriptor_path} AS __temp{%%rand1}.file

CONVERT __temp{%%rand1}.file TO fixed.field.file.descriptor(descriptor) AS __temp_{%%rand2}.fff.descriptor

LOAD {fixed_field_file_path} AS __temp{%%rand3}.file

CONVERT __temp{%%rand3}.file TO fixed.field.file(structured) USING __temp_{%%rand2}.fff.descriptor AS {fixed_field_file}

ASSERT {fixed_field_file} IS valid

ASSERT {fixed_field_file} HAS expected.autonumbers

Input:

• • {fixed_field_file_path}: The path to the fixed field file (relative to the root of the repository)

  • {fixed_field_file_descriptor_path} : The path to the fixed field file descriptor (relative to the root of the repository)

Output:

• • {fixed_field_file}: The name (in the context) of the fixed field field

Example:

# LOAD_FFF repo/fff/data.txt USING repo/descriptor/my_descriptor.xml AS fixed_field_file.fff

# ASSERT_FFF {fff} HAS EXPECTED CONTENT USING {fff_queries_path}

What: This macro permits to valid the content of a fixed field file using a fixed field file query file.

# ASSERT_FFF {fff} HAS EXPECTED CONTENT USING {fff_queries_path}

=>

LOAD {fff_queries_path} AS __temp{%%rand1}.file

CONVERT __temp{%%rand1}.file TO fixed.field.file.queries(query) AS __temp_{%%rand2}.fff.queries

ASSERT {fff} HAS expected.content USING __temp_{%%rand2}.fff.queries

Input:

• • {fff}: The path to the fixed field file (relative to the root of the repository).

  • {fff_queries_path}: The path to the query file (relative to the root of the repository).

Example:

# ASSERT_FFF repo/fff/data.txt HAS EXPECTED CONTENT repo/queries/my_queries.xml
