HRL Segment Repeat

[Klaus Wais]

Hi,

I try to create record layout for BDT/GDT messages. BDT/GDT messages consist of repeating segments – no upper limit defined for the count of segments.

I’ve created an HRL with 1 segment that is repeated.

Does anybody know how to specify the “no upper limit for the count” in the Repeat Options ?

Thanks,

Klaus Wais

I believe a -1 will work.

I already tried -1 but it seems not to work (tested with Testing Tool)

Best Regards,

Can we have a look at your hrl.

[Klaus Wais]

sure

This is the HRL for the GDT message (up til now I set the repeats to 999)

# Record Layout: gdt_msg.hrl

#

prologue

   who: Admin

   date: February 9, 2007 3:39:32 PM CET

   type: hrl

   version: 3.0

end_prologue

#

# Field declarations

#

{NAME Segment} {TYPE fmt} { FMT {

   { RECORD gdt.hrl }

   { RECORD_TYPE hrl }

   { REPEATS 999 }

}}

The only segment is another HRL gdt.hrl:

# Record Layout: gdt.hrl

}}

{NAME BODY} {TYPE fmt} { FMT {

   { RECORD gdt_value.vrl }

   { RECORD_TYPE vrl }

}}

If you can put another field in the hrl with a constant value, you can use Repeat . . While
