Create a general record to record transform specification.

layout_specification(
  incoming_shape = NULL,
  outgoing_shape = NULL,
  ...,
  recordKeys = character(0),
  incoming_controlTableKeys = colnames(incoming_shape)[[1]],
  outgoing_controlTableKeys = colnames(outgoing_shape)[[1]],
  checkNames = TRUE,
  checkKeys = TRUE,
  strict = FALSE,
  allow_rqdatatable_in = FALSE,
  allow_rqdatatable_out = FALSE
)

Arguments

incoming_shape

data.frame, definition of incoming record shape.

outgoing_shape

data.frame, defintion of outgoing record shape.

...

not used, force later arguments to bind by name.

recordKeys

vector of columns identifying records.

incoming_controlTableKeys

character, which column names of the incoming control table are considered to be keys.

outgoing_controlTableKeys

character, which column names of the outgoing control table are considered to be keys.

checkNames

passed to rowrecs_to_blocks.

checkKeys

passed to rowrecs_to_blocks.

strict

passed to rowrecs_to_blocks.

allow_rqdatatable_in

logical, if TRUE allow rqdatatable shortcutting on simple conversions.

allow_rqdatatable_out

logical, if TRUE allow rqdatatable shortcutting on simple conversions.

Value

a record specification object
