XML Attributes
Example: <attrib colname="ItemCode" description="Bill of Material Itemcode">
Means: Tag name = "ItemCode" and not "attrib"
For Import programm the Description of this Column is "Bill of Material"

<item value="1001">
<bom>
<pos>10</pos>
<attribute itemcode="A002" quantity="10">
</bom>
<bom>
<pos>20</pos>
<attribute itemcode="A003" quantity="2">
</bom>
</item>
Not allowed is a mix of substructures and values outside the tag definition
Example:
<bom>10<itemcode>a001</itemcode></bom>
In this example beas ignore the value "10"

Description
|
XMLAttribColName
|
is_XMLAttribColName
|
Define the name of Tag Field
Example:
lfile.XMLAttribColName=colname
XML-File
<attrib colname="ItemCode">
the program replace the tagname "attrib" with "ItemCode"
Default: COL_NO
|
XMLAttribDescription
|
is_XMLAttribDescription
|
Define the description of this tag in the import program
Example:
lfile.XMLAttribDescription=ItemCode
XML-File
<x884544xx description=ItemCode>
The Tag Name is x884544
In Import you see in Preview "ItemCode" as fieldname
Default: FIELDNAME
|

|
XMLAttribType
|
is_XMLAttribType
|
Define the type of the field (current without function)
Default: TYPE
|
XMLAttribValue
|
is_XMLAttribValue
|
Define, in which attribute you can define the value
Example:
lfile.XMLAttribValue=VALUE
XML-File
<itemcode value="A001" />
is the same as
<itemcode>A001</itemcode>
in this way you can define sub structure in shorter way
<itemcode value="A001">
< ... substru ..>
</itemcode>
Default: TYPE
|
XMLAttribColDescription
|
