Example

In the following example, the structured Documentation tab is opened and the 'SubChild3' element that is located in the 'Child2' parent element is duplicated with the name 'New_Element'. The sub-elements from 'Child2' will then be written in the activation report.

:SET &XMLDOCU#=XML_OPEN(DOCU,,"@Details")

:IF &XMLDOCU# <>
""
:SET &TOCLONE# = XML_SELECT_NODE(&XMLDOCU#,"Child2/SubChild3")

:SET &CLONECHILD# = XML_CLONE_AND_RENAME(&TOCLONE#,"New_Element")

:SET &PARENT# = XML_SELECT_NODE(&XMLDocu#, "Child3")
:SET &RET# = XML_APPEND_ELEMENT(&PARENT#, &CLONECHILD#)

:SET &ELEMENT# = XML_GET_FIRST_CHILD(&PARENT#)

:WHILE &ELEMENT# <> ""
: SET &NAME# = XML_GET_NODE_NAME(&ELEMENT#)
: P  'Element: &NAME#'
: SET &ELEMENT# = XML_GET_NEXTSIBLING(&ELEMENT#)
:ENDWHILE

:ENDIF



:XML_CLOSE &XMLDOCU#

The following rows are then available in the activation log:

2013-08-14 13:32:27 – U0020408 Element: SubChild3
2013-08-14 13:32:27 – U0020408 Element: New_Element
