------------------------------------------
Summary: textNumberPattern not being used for xs:int ?
Key: DAFFODIL-2158
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2158
Project: Daffodil
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Back End
Affects Versions: 2.4.0
Reporter: Michael Beckerle
Fix For: 2.4.0
Look at the DFDLSchemas/MagVar project.
In that schema, which is siimple fixed-length data, there are columns of
integers (xs:int) and of floats.
The textNumberPattern *was* "###0.0###;-###0.0###".
When I tested this for portability with IBM DFDL, it errored because the xs:int
elements were unparsing as 0.0, 1.0, not just 0, or 1. One of the integer
columns is only 2 characters wide, so even 0.0 doesn't fit and was giving a
runtime error.
So I had to introduce a separate named DFDL format so that the integer elements
and the float elements could have different textNumberPattern values, because
the integers need "###0.###;-###0.###", the floats need the pattern above to
work right.
So now it works portably.
But.... why didn't Daffodil unparse the integers as 0.0, 1.0, and so forth the
way IBM DFDL did? It seems Daffodil is somehow not using the textNumberPattern
for these integers.
And that seems like a bug to me.
