C++ Test Data Source Generation Issue

What headings do I need to use in a CSV file to enable setting of Buffer[0], Buffer[1], etc. for the following function: unsigned char CalculateChecksum(unsigned char *Buffer,unsigned char Length).

1. C++Test is not going to allow you to place an array of values for the Buffer variable as written. Therefore I would suggest changing the parameters

FROM:
unsigned char CalculateChecksum(unsigned char *Buffer,unsigned char Length)

TO:
unsigned char CalculateChecksum(unsigned char *Buffer[],unsigned char Length)


2. I would suggest using hex values in your *.csv file. For Example

try.csv
---------------------cut-------------------

Column1,Column2,
"\x041", "\x001",

----------------------cut-------------------

Note: Data Source support is only available for Native Test Cases

Why not? It is a legitimate function. Also, I can set such values directly in the Test Case Editor with the function as is.

OK, I have this now working, using option 2 and using the folowing format: "\x041\x043...". Thanks for the advice. Option 1 wasn't an option as this changes the nature of the function, which we did not want to do.
