skill command available to return if an expression has no fails (all pass)?

vandervaart

Is there a skill command to return if a certain expression in adexl has no fails/all pass in the current runset?

I have a couple of expressions with limits, say expr1  < ulim1, expr2 < ulim, expr3 < ulim3 and I want to create another expression called masterchk which returns 0 if all above three expressions have no fails and return 1 otherwise. What I try to avoid is to need to inline the limit values into the expression:

masterchk = if( expr1 < ulim1 && expr2 < ulim2  && expr3 < ulim3 then 0 else 1)

because then I need to type in the limit values of every individual expression (there can be many more than three expressions in practice) and this expression needs to be updated as well every time there is a limit/spec change.

If the function that I am looking for is called isPass then masterchk would look like this:

masterchk = if( isPass(expr1) && isPass(expr2) && isPass(expr3) then 0 else 1)

I could not directly find such command in the manual or CCS so was hoping to get more information here.

  • The answer is no. I think it needs an enhancement - there's enhancement CCR 907219 which is asking for a SKILL function to retrieve the pass/fail status from the result database, but even if you had that, it would need something that ADE could determine the order dependency from, in a similar fashion to calcVal(). So I think  you'd need something like calcVal which returned the pass/fail - something like a specStatus("output" ["test" ...]) - with similar arguments to calcVal.

    You should contact customer support so that you can request such an enhancement.

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.
