[Download-List] XML Field Tags

[Scott Howder]

Ed -

I think the following example shows what you want:

006: DOWNLOAD COURSES \
007:   XML.ROOT.NAME "courses" \
008:   XML.FILE.NAME "course" \
009:   CRS.DEPTS NUM.VALUES ALL COL.HDG "department" \
010:   CRS.NAME COL.HDG "name" \
011:   C26CRS.TITLE.SV COL.HDG "title" \
012:   C26CRS.DESC.SV COL.HDG "description" \
013:   FORMAT XML \
014:   FILE DOCS.COMPSERV courses.xml OVERWRITING \
015:   EOR.CHAR ^013 

The text in the "COL.HDG" field modifier determines the XML field tags.
 The above statement creates the following:

0001: <?xml version="1.0"?>
0002: <courses>
0003: <course>
0004:   <coursedepts>
0005:     <department>BA</department>
0006:   </coursedepts>
0007:   <name>ACCT-2110</name>
0008:   <title>Principles of Accounting I</title>
0009:   <description>An introduction to accounting for business
organizations with an emphasis on financial statement preparation and
interpretation. Topics include: the accounting cycle, present value, and
accounting for stock and debt instruments. Prerequisite: sophomore
status.</description>
0010: </course>

I'm new to XML. We're using DOWNLOAD 7.13.

I need to export data for upload into a library membership db. How do
I
make the XML field tags conform to their upload template, rather than
the
Datatel field names?

TIA,

Ed
