SAX OPEN XML ELEMENT ARRAYS

version 2004

SAX OPEN XML ELEMENT ARRAYS (document; tag{; attribNamesArray; attribValuesArray}{; attribNamesArray2; attribValuesArray2; ...; attribNamesArrayN; attribValuesArrayN})

The SAX OPEN XML ELEMENT ARRAYS command is used to add a new element in the XML document whose reference is passed in document as well as, optionally, attributes and their values in the form of arrays.

Except for the support of arrays (see below), this command is identical to SAX OPEN XML ELEMENT. Please refer to the description of this command for more information about its operation.

Optionally, the SAX OPEN XML ELEMENT ARRAYS command can be used to pass pairs of attributes and attribute values in the form of arrays in the attribNamesArray and attribValuesArray parameters.

The arrays must have been created previously and operate in attribute/attribute value pairs. You can pass as many pairs of arrays, and as many items in each pair, as you want.

The following method:

   ARRAY STRING(80;tAttrNames;2)
   ARRAY STRING(80;tAttrValues;2)
   vElement:="Book"
   tAttrNames{1}:="Font"
   tAttrValues{1}:="Arial"
   tAttrNames{2}:="Style"
   tAttrValues{2}:="Bold"
   SAX OPEN XML ELEMENT ARRAYS($DocRef;vElement;tAttrNames;tAttrValues)

... will write in the document:

<Book Font="Arial" Style="Bold">

SAX CLOSE XML ELEMENT, SAX OPEN XML ELEMENT.
