Do you know from where to download the ECF checker program that is used to sanity check a rating submission file?
Thanks!

I've heard today from Brian Valentine who tells me that the checker program has been deprecated.
Brian kindly sent me this link to useful documents:

It's still useful for doing offline checks that a rating file is valid, before attempting to upload to the ECF rating database, in my opinion.John Upham wrote: ↑Mon Nov 15, 2021 12:16 pmI've heard today from Brian Valentine who tells me that the checker program has been deprecated.
I think the ECF should continue to make it available for that purpose, even if it's accompanied by a comment that it's no longer being maintained, so won't check everything.

The online tool allows you to check without submitting.

There's an online tool that does the work of the ECF Result File Checker, including checking that a results file is correctly formatted?Wadih Khoury wrote: ↑Mon Nov 15, 2021 2:38 pmThe online tool allows you to check without submitting.

I am not familiar with the Result File Checker, but the current online system to load the result allows you to first check the validity of the file before committing it for submission.Angus French wrote: ↑Mon Nov 15, 2021 6:40 pmThere's an online tool that does the work of the ECF Result File Checker, including checking that a results file is correctly formatted?Wadih Khoury wrote: ↑Mon Nov 15, 2021 2:38 pmThe online tool allows you to check without submitting.
If I recall, it highlights all the errors, you can keep loading the file until all errors are resolved then you can submit.
