Agreed that fn:error() looks suitable. Is
the assumption that it always throws a PE, or do we want the ability to
throw an SDE as well ?
I ask because section 23 maps all but one
XPath error to SDE.

Re: [DFDL-WG]
still no need for fn:error - re-assess
I recall now that QName is a subtype of string, so it's
just a kind of string.
So I agree. I guess fn:error can be used as per XPath
without modification.

True that xs:QName is not a type that is supported as the simple type of
an element, but we do use QNames elsewhere in DFDL schema, eg, in element
refs, type references, as the type of some DFDL properties (eg, dfdl:ref,
dfdl:hiddenGroupRef, dfdl:prefixLengthType), to reference variables in
expressions, ... So I don't see a problem with having a function
argument being a QName.

So the fn:error() XPath function takes a problematic argument.
All the arguments are optional, so fn:error() is legal.
The first argument is of type xs:qQName, and we don't have that type in
DFDL. So the best we could do is to accept a string that is in the "form"
of a QName, e.g.,
"foo:bar".
The second argument is a description string, third and subsequent args
are objects. The manner by which this string and objects are provided to
the execution environment is implementation dependent according to the
XQuery and XPath spec, and this is fine for DFDL implementations also.
The lack of the QName type for the first argument suggests we're going
to need to create dfdl:error(string, string, item()*), where the first
argument is a string in the form of a QName, and the other arguments are
as per fn:error.

I want to re-open the discussion of fn:error.
Previously we said it was not needed because an assert could be used.
However, we've now run into where we want to cause an error, during unparsing,
during outputValueCalc.
<xs:element name="Protocol" type="pcap:bit"
dfdl:length="8"
dfdl:outputValueCalc="{
if (fn:exists(../../pcap:ICMPv4))
then 1
else if (fn:exists(../../pcap:TransportLayer/pcap:TCP
)) then 6
else if (fn:exists(../../pcap:TransportLayer/pcap:UDP
)) then 17
else -1 }"/>
That -1 at the end. That's an error case. We really want fn:error("Unrecognized
protocol.")
We can't change to a dfdl:assert, because assertions aren't evaluated when
unparsing.
Comments?
