 #!Radd2i Add2Invalid Module Example--Manipulate Invalid Data #!N #!EC #!N #!N The 
Data Explorer data model makes it possible to identify invalid input 
(position and connections elements) and mark the resulting output as "invalid." 
(see  #!Linvdata,dxall1118 h Invalid Data  #!EL  ). Invalid elements (and the data associated with them) 
are ignored by Data Explorer modules. #!N #!N In the example 
given here, the Add2Invalid module processes two input data components. If 
either of the two data values is invalid, the resulting sum 
is treated as invalid. The routines that support this function check 
for matching data types, matching dependencies, missing Fields, and so on. 
#!N #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   REPEAT STEPS (1) THROUGH (5) #!EF of the 
first example (see  #!Laddmodx,dxall1028 h Add Module Example--Add a __________________________________ Number to Every Data Value  #!EL  ), using the file name "add2invalid" instead 
of "add." Step (5) will produce files add2invalid.c, add2invalid.mdf, and add2invalid.make. 
#!N #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   (6) IMPLEMENT THE ADD2INVALID FUNCTION. #!EF  #!Rimpad2i Because 
this module uses routines _______________________________________________ for handling invalid data, the necessary 
modifications of the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   .c #!EF file are more extensive than 
those required for the preceding examples. #!N #!N As written, the 
add2_invalid.c file passes only the data component to the lowest-level routine 
(Add2Invalid_worker); it does not pass information about the data's validity. The 
solution is to modify the doLeaf routine, rather than the worker 
routine. The doLeaf routine has access to all the components of 
an input or output Field and not to just the data 
component. #!N #!N In the routine doLeaf, starting at the comment 
"Call the user's routine. Check the return code." insert the following: 
#!CForestGreen #!N #!N  #!F-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--18*   #!N /* create invalid component handles for 
each input field */ #!N inv_handle1 = DXCreateInvalidComponentHandle(in[0], NULL, #!N src_dependency); 
#!N inv_handle2 = DXCreateInvalidComponentHandle(in[1], NULL, #!N src_dependency); #!N #!N /* the 
loop that actually adds the data components. #!N * if either 
of the two input data values is invalid, then the #!N 
* output is marked invalid, and set to the value 0 
#!N */ #!N out_ptr = (float *)out_data[0]; #!N in1_ptr = (float 
*)in_data[0]; #!N in2_ptr = (float *)in_data[1]; #!N for (i=0; i<out_knt[0]; i++) 
{ #!N if (DXIsElementValid(inv_handle1, i) && #!N DXIsElementValid(inv_handle2, i)) { #!N 
*out_ptr = *in1_ptr + *in2_ptr; #!N } #!N else { #!N 
*out_ptr = 0.0; #!N DXSetElementInvalid(inv_handle1, i); #!N } #!N out_ptr++; #!N 
in1_ptr++; #!N in2_ptr++; #!N } #!N #!N /* the invalid-component-handle information 
is added to the output field */ #!N if (!DXSaveInvalidComponent((Field)out[0], inv_handle1)) 
#!N goto error; #!N DXFreeInvalidComponentHandle(inv_handle1); #!N DXFreeInvalidComponentHandle(inv_handle2); #!N #!N return OK; 
#!N #!N error: #!N return ERROR; #!EF #!N #!N #!EC #!N 
#!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   (7) REMOVE THE CALL TO ADD2INVALID_WORKER: #!EF it is 
not needed. All of the data processing code has been added 
________________________________________________ to doLeaf. #!N #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   (8) INSERT THE FOLLOWING DECLARATIONS 
#!EF at the top of the routine doLeaf: ___________________________________________ #!CForestGreen #!N 
#!N  #!F-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--18*   #!N InvalidComponentHandle inv_handle1, inv_handle2; #!N float *out_ptr, *in1_ptr, *in2_ptr; 
#!EF #!N #!N #!EC #!N #!N The file /usr/lpp/dx/samples/program_guide/add2invalid.c contains a 
completed version of this program. #!N #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   (9) TO CREATE 
A VERSION OF DATA EXPLORER THAT INCLUDES #!EF the Add2Invalid module, 
enter the command: ____________________________________________________________ #!CForestGreen #!N #!N  #!F-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--18*   #!N make -f 
add2invalid.make dxexec #!EF #!N #!N #!EC #!N #!N (You have now 
created an executable that contains the Add2Invalid module.) #!N #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
(10) TO INVOKE THIS VERSION, ENTER: #!EF __________________________________________ #!CForestGreen #!N #!N 
 #!F-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--18*   #!N dx -edit -mdf ./add2invalid.mdf -exec ./dxexec #!EF #!N #!N 
#!EC #!N #!N This command starts Data Explorer (the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   add2invalid.mdf 
#!EF file tells the graphical user interface about Add2Invalid and its 
inputs and outputs). The executable dxexec invoked here is the one 
created in Step 8. #!N #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   (11) WITH THIS VERSION 
OF DATA EXPLORER #!EF you can now run any visual program 
that uses the Add2Invalid module. _____________________________________________ One such program is /usr/lpp/dx/samples/program_guide/add2_invalid.net
