Generating Test Data

The syntax for this procedure follows:

Field

is a value from 1 through 10 that specifies the field to which the column is to be

added.

Coln

is the variable that holds the result.

Lenn

is the maximum number of characters that may be placed in Coln.

Specify a Col and Len pair for each column in the result. DataLoader/MP moves a

maximum of Lenn bytes to its corresponding Coln column.

If DTLCartGenerateField returns 0, it has started to return duplicate combinations. A

nonzero value indicates that the result is not a repeat of any prior combination.

DTLCARTGENERATE[1-5]COLFIELDCOB

These procedures are COBOL-callable routines for generating Cartesian fields.

Because COBOL does not accept variable numbers of parameters, there are five

routines, for one to five columns in a field. There can be at most five columns added to

one field by using COBOL.

The syntax for these procedures follows:

short DTLCartGenerateField( short Field, char* Coln,

short Lenn, ... );

short DTLCARTGENERATE1COLFIELDCOB ( short field,

char* Col1, short Len1);

short DTLCARTGENERATE2COLFIELDCOB ( short field,

char* Col1, short Len1,

char* Col2, short Len2);

short DTLCARTGENERATE3COLFIELDCOB ( short field,

char* Col1, short Len1,

char* Col2, short Len2,

char* Col3, short Len3);

short DTLCARTGENERATE4COLFIELDCOB ( short field,

char* Col1, short Len1,

char* Col2, short Len2,

char* Col3, short Len3,

char* Col4, short Len4);
