[Download-List] Empty XML tags

[Norman, David (Health)]

Dave,
While my change to DLPROCESS to not print empty XML tags worked, with greatly reduced file sizes, it created a whole new set of problems for our 3rd party receiver, as mandatory (unknown to us) empty tags were now not sent. The easiest solution was for them to change their schema to allow empty integers, so I undid my change.
If you are still considering this option, can I suggest that it be on a field by field basis, not global, with the option of a DEFAULT setting ?

Regards,

Thanks, Dave.
In the meantime I might tamper with DL and/or DLPROCESS and see if I can prevent writing an XML detail line if it contains a "></" string. Otherwise I will have to do some post-processing to strip out these lines.

I don't know of any way to do this presently, but I'll look at
incorporating this option in the next release.  I should have that
release ready later this month.

Is there an option to not send empty XML tags ? Our 3rd party receiver
has a schema that for some fields is described as positive integer. This
field may be empty, in which case it's rejected as it's not a
positive integer. How can we tell Download to not send this field if
it's null ?
