RE: [U2] XML question on UniData 6.0
I think you're pretty much stuck with doing it in your program. You might subroutine it and call it when is encountered. At least then it'll be useful for similar schema. -Keith > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Metherall, Arthur > Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2005 4:54 AM > To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > Subject: RE: [U2] XML question on UniData 6.0 > > Hello, > > Sorry I wasn't clear. > > Yes, I want to load a single UniData internal or external > date field from the XML date fields. > > Instead of having to save them as three individual fields > and then combine them in an I-Type or doing it inside my > UniBasic program. > > How do I need to define my Unidata 6.0 XML extraction file > to do this? > > Thanks. > > - - - - - - - - - - - - > Arthur E.

RE: [U2] XML question on UniData 6.0
Hello, Sorry I wasn't clear. Yes, I want to load a single UniData internal or external date field from the XML date fields. Instead of having to save them as three individual fields and then combine them in an I-Type or doing it inside my UniBasic program. How do I need to define my Unidata 6.0 XML extraction file to do this? Thanks. - - - - - - - - - - - - Arthur E.

But all the XML experts must have been on vacation, so I'm posting it again in hopes that they 're back. Is there a way to define the following XML section in a Unidata 6.0 extraction file, so that it will give me a single date (07/20/2005) value/DICT entry, without having to define individual Month (07), Day(20), Year(2005) DICT items and then using an I-Type to rebuild it? 2005 07 20 14:47:45 This is a predetermined XML format for handling dates with our customers, I can't change the structure.

Use an I-type to rebuild what? Why not just create Day, Month and Year as i-types that do the conversion (or as synonyms). I'm using UV syntax, but I'd either create a D-type called eg Year with a conversion field (field 3) of "D2[Y4]" (or whatever the correct syntax is, or an i-type with a location field (field 2) of "OCONV(..., "D2[Y4]")". I don't know if the first syntax would work in UV, so I certainly don't know if it would work in UD ... Not knowing what you mean by "rebuild", I can't offer any further hints...

Not sure about the baked in XML features, but you could certainly do it with BASIC without a lot of difficulty. -Kevin [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.PrecisOnline.com --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
