#101 Availability check of optional prop. by the means of EPICS r

[Thomas Kurowski]

• Availability check of optional properties by the means
of EPICS references

The way a test is performed frequently depends on the
existence of an optional property. Extend the EPICS
references used within IF statements with an optional
parameter which allows to check whether the referenced
property is present.

Proposed syntax:

IF ‘(‘’{‘<object identifier>’,’<property identifier>’,’
EXISTS’}’ = TRUE|FALSE’)’

Moreover, in conjunction with the INCLUDE statement it
would be one of the features needed for an automatic
test suite generation.
