Entering Test Values for Primitive Elements

The Document Tester utility enables you to enter test values for primitive elements.

When you select a primitive element in the document tree, a Set Value page (IB_LSTESTER_SEC) appears where you can set a test value for the element.

The following example shows the Set Value page.

The Element Name field displays the element name with which you're working. The Primitive Type field and Field Length field display the data type and length as defined for the element in the Document Builder.

The name of the field where you enter a test value depends on the data type. In the previous example, the data type is a string, and therefore the system prompts you to enter a Long value. The following table lists the possible labels for the field where you enter a test value:

Data Type	Primitive Type Field Label	Test Value Field Label
Binary	Bin	Long
Boolean	Bool	Page displays a check box.
Character	Character	Char
Date	Date	Date
DateTime	DT	Datetime
Decimal	Dec	Numeric
Integer	Int	Numeric
String	String	Long
Text	Text	Long
Time	Time	Time

The data type and field length that display are those that are defined for the document in the Document Builder.

After you enter test values, each value appears next to the corresponding element in the document tree on the main Document Tester page.

The following example shows the appearance of the document tree for the ShipTo document after test values have been entered:

To enter test values for primitive elements:

1. Access the Document Tester (PeopleTools, and then Documents, and then Document Utilities, and then Document Tester).

2. Click the name of a primitive element for which to enter a test value.

   The Set Value page appears.

3. In the Long field, enter a test value.
