Future developments
- Currently range checks only really make sense for numeric keywords and
table columns. The task doesn't do any checking to verify that the
keyword/column being checked is in fact numeric, and almost certainly
it should do.
- Limits for range checks are restricted to numeric constants. It would be
possible to extend the checks to be arithmetic expressions, etc.
- The task does not do much checking on the validity of the check
file (eg. invalid ranges like
are not trapped).
- Further checking functions can be added quite simply, eg. a
function name can be implemented by adding
a perl subroutine called check_name to the dscheck.pl script.
