We have a piece of code that exports XML from datawindows to make an extract between our system and another.

This has not been tried in development as it was a link only available in one site's production environment.

Other XML extracts do work on the system. this one produces a blank extract.

The code in the window is as follows

[code]

string ls_xmli

...

// this produces a blank string, when the datawindow has 11 rows in it.

ls_xmli = dw_1.Describe ("DataWindow.Data.XML")

[/code]

There is no error message.

We have tried to explicitly set the XML template with modify statements, but this does not help. The modify statements did not return messages.

I've included the source of the datawindow below.

What could be going on here?

The online help shows these suggestions

ls_xmlstring = dw1.Object.DataWindow.Data.XML
ls_xmlstring = dw1.Describe(DataWindow.Data.XML)

The first does not work either, and the second does not compile so i'm assuming it is a typo in the help.

Any ideas about what might be happening, or how to check for faults in the datawindow design?

Regards,

Kevin.

Dear Kevin Kevin,

It would make everone's lives so much easier if you would read the first post on this Q&A: https://community.appeon.com/index.php/qna/q-a/q-a-forum-tip-including-source-code-in-your-question

Please include any code using the "{:} Insert/Edit code sample" from the toolbar when you create / answer a post.

thank you, glad you solved the problem and thanks for sharing!

Hello,

I have identified the problem.

The Datawindow editor allows you to save a template that does not include an XML definition tag.

Some of our datawindows had been stored without this tag in the template as they were only a temporary store and would be spliced into another XML document for output. This worked in PB 2017, but not any more.

If the compiler will (especially *silently* ) fail this when it is used, I feel this needs to be addressed by Appeon.

For now, the issue is resolved by us correctly formatting the XML for the template.

Thank you for your help Chris.

Kevin

Hi Kevin;

If you can build a simple test case PB App that uses...

ls_xmlstring = dw1.Object.DataWindow.Data.XML // OR
ls_xmlstring = dw1.Describe(DataWindow.Data.XML)

If these don't not work in the simple test case, please open a Support Ticket.

Regards ... Chris

Chris,

I suppose they could at a pinch.

We need to merge two data sets in the code and produce one XML stream from it.

Here is the code calling the XML export

[code]

string ls_fname, ls_path, ls_xmli, ls_xmlr, ls_xmlp

Hi Kevin;

Why not just use the SaveAs() method? For example...

<DC/DS>.SaveAs("C:\TEMP\Temp.xml", Xml!, true)
