Exporting to XML – PB Docs 2017

Setting data export properties

Selecting templates at runtime

• Using the SaveAs method:

  PowerBuilder

  ds1.SaveAs("C:TEMPTemp.xml", Xml!, true)

  1	ds1.SaveAs("C:TEMPTemp.xml", Xml!, true)

• Using PowerScript dot notation or the Describe method:

  PowerBuilder

  ls_xmlstring = dw1.Object.DataWindow.Data.XML ls_xmlstring = dw1.Describe(DataWindow.Data.XML)

  1 2	ls_xmlstring = dw1.Object.DataWindow.Data.XML ls_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.

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.
