Exporting to XML
You can export the data in a DataWindow or DataStore object
to XML using any of the techniques used for exporting to other formats
such as PSR or HTML:
-
Using the SaveAs method:
1ds1.SaveAs("C:TEMPTemp.xml", Xml!, true) -
Using PowerScript dot notation or the Describe method:
1ls_xmlstring = dw1.Object.DataWindow.Data.XMLls_xmlstring = dw1.Describe(DataWindow.Data.XML) -
Using the Save Rows As menu item in the DataWindow painter.
With the Preview view open, select File>Save Rows
As, select XML from the Files of Type drop-down list, provide a
file name, and click Save. You can use this in the development environment
to preview the XML that will be generated at runtime.
When you export data, PowerBuilder uses an export template to
specify the content of the generated XML.
Default export format
If you have not created or assigned an export template, PowerBuilder uses
a default export format. This is the same format used when you create
a new default export template. See “Creating templates”.
OLE DataWindow objects cannot be exported using a template. You must
use the default format.
