Avoiding Stubcode Errors Because of Repeating Tables in Table Grammar

If your table grammar contains more than one table with the same name, this would cause errors when you try to generate stubcode. You can avoid these errors by following one of two methods:

• Option 1: Create table groups for each repeated table. Each table group would need to have a unique name, but the tables can have the same name.
• Option 2: Create copies of the tables. Each table would need to have a unique name.

Using Table Groups

For option 1, let's say your VMD file has the following table grammar:

Repeating Tables in Table Grammar

To avoid stubcode errors you could create table groups (each one with a unique name), and still use the same table name.

To create a table group (using the above example) for each repeat table:

• Right-click Patient > Insert Table Group. The New Table Group window appears.
• Name your table group anything you want, and click OK. Remember, you have to give each Table Group you create a unique name. In this example we named it PatientGroup1.
• Set the Grammar Root to the same value as the repeat table.
• Click and drag the first repeat table into the Table Group you created.
• Repeat the above steps for each repeat table. Once you are finished, your table grammar should closely resemble the following:

Repeating Tables in Separate Table Groups

Using Table Copies

For option 2, all you would have to do is create copies of your tables, and rename them using a unique name.

To copy tables (using the same example), and give them a unique name:

• Copy and paste the VMD file you want to import tables from into the Libraries install directory. By default, this directory will be C:\Program Files\iNTERFACEWARE\Libraries.
• Open Chameleon, and click Workspace > Import Table From Library. The Import Table From Library window appears.
• Name the table anything you want, and click Next. In this example we named it PatientID_Table1.

Naming the Copied Table

• In the drop-down menu, select the VMD file you just copied into the Libraries directory, and click Next. All the tables available to be copied are displayed.

Tables Available to be Copied

• Select PatientIdentifiers, and click Next. The Table Wizard confirms that the table was copied into your VMD file's workspace.
• Click Finish to exit.
• Repeat this process for every table that repeats, making sure to give each one you import a unique name.

Since we named our first copied table PatientID_Table1, each repeat table that follows might be named PatientID_Table2, PatientID_Table3, etc.
