`XML SET FLAGS`

This statement has the following parameter:

Parameters	Description
`Flags`	A numeric literal or identifier of a numeric data item with a value that represents one or more data conversion flags.

Description

The XML SET FLAGS statement establishes the setting of the flags that are used for internal data conversion for import and export. Valid flag values are specified in the copy file, lixmldef.cpy.

The initial setting of the flags has the following flag values set: PF-Leading-Spaces, PF-Trailing-Spaces, PF-Leading-Minus, and PF-Rounded.

Note:

These flag values are 78-level constant-names defined in lixmldef.cpy. They are case insensitive and require the use of the hyphen character.
On export and import of nonnumeric items, the PF-Trailing-Spaces and PF-Leading-Spaces flags are ignored for edited and FILLER data items; that is, leading and trailing spaces are preserved for edited and FILLER data items. On export of nonnumeric data items, the PF-Leading-Spaces flag is ignored except for right justified data items; that is leading spaces are preserved except for right justified data items. This note applies regardless of whether the default flags or user-specified flags are in effect. (The PF-Trailing-Spaces and PF-Leading-Spaces flags do not affect conversion of numeric data items.)

A status value is returned in the data item XML-Status of XML-data-group, which is defined in the copy file lixmldef.cpy.

Example

XML SET FLAGS
   MY-FLAGS.
IF NOT XML-OK GO TO Z.
