5.3.5.2.1.3. Dictionary validation

| top | pdf |

cif2cif will open one or more CIF dictionary files as it copies the input CIF and identify certain classes of error against the dictionary definitions. The conditions that will raise an error are an unrecognized data name or a wrong data type. The program will also optionally indicate a warning if a data name has been assigned a category different from the leading portion of the data name – this may indicate an inconsistency within the dictionary itself.
