I tried to suppress the root element with
XML.ROOT.NAME ''
but it just reverted to <download> and complained:
Expecting XML root name, found nothing.
My current workaround is (after DOWNLOADing to a file and reading it
back in):
SWAP '<download>' WITH '' IN R.HOLD
SWAP '</download>' WITH '' IN R.HOLD
A similar sort of suppresion works with
XML.VERSION ''
to suppress the <?xml ...> tag entirely.
In this case I'm working with a single PERSON record, so I don't need
the extra outer element tag. In other cases I'm producing sections of
XML that get concatenated, and again, the extra outer tag is not needed.
