test frame for the ISAM file library

This test frame calls the PBL ISAM file library, it is an interactive test frame capable of regression tests.

Interactive mode:

Call the program pbliftst from a UNIX or DOS shell.
The following commands to test the PBL ISAM File Library are supplied:

 q       FOR QUIT
 open filename keyfile1,dupfile2,... update
 transaction < START | COMMIT | ROLLBACK >
 close
 flush
 insert ,key1,key2... data
 ninsert n key1,key2,... data
 find index key < LT | LE | FI | EQ | LA | GE | GT >
 nfind n index key < LT | LE | FI | EQ | LA | GE | GT >
 get index < NEXT | PREV | FIRST | LAST | THIS >
 datalen
 readdata
 readkey index
 updatedata data
 updatekey index key
 ndelete n
 

See pblKEYFILE_TestFrame for an example to interactively use the test frame.

Regression mode:

Five regression test cases are supplied with the PBL ISAM library.

ISAM0001.TST, ISAM0002.TST, ISAM0003.TST, ISAM0004.TST and ISAM0005.TST.

ISAM0001.TST and ISAM0004.TST are run when the "make test" is done. Do the following if you want to run the test cases per hand

   1. Build the pbliftst executable.          make all
   2. Create the sub directory isamtest.      mkdir isamtest
   3. Clear the sub directory isamtest.       rm imamtest/0*
   4. Run the test frame on this file.        pbliftst ISAM0001.TST
   5. Compare ISAM0001.TST and pbliftst.log   diff ISAM0001.TST pbliftst.log
 

There should be no differences reported, if so your build of the PBL library is most likely ok!
