XML Records (O11)

Hi!

I'm having some problems using XMLConfig... 

I have a record with an attribute that is a Record List of "Child" records and I want to ommit the parent element of the record list.

So instead of having something like

<PmtInf>
  <DrctDbtTxInf_RL>
    <DrctDbtTxInf></DrctDbtTxInf>
    <DrctDbtTxInf></DrctDbtTxInf>
    <DrctDbtTxInf></DrctDbtTxInf>
  </DrctDbtTxInf_RL>
<PmtInf>

what I want is

<PmtInf>
  <DrctDbtTxInf></DrctDbtTxInf>
  <DrctDbtTxInf></DrctDbtTxInf>
  <DrctDbtTxInf></DrctDbtTxInf>
<PmtInf>

Im my picture the record with the attribute that is a record list is PAYMENT_INFORMATION and the attribute name is DrctDbtTxInfRL.

What is wrong with my RecordXmlConfig that is not producing the desired effect of ommiting the parent element?

Hello João,

In the original discussion for the XML Records Extension you'll find a post by Gonçalo Borrêga (posted on 2010-06-19) explaining the use of DefaultConfig and XMLConfig.

Here's a snippet about DefaultConfig that I think will help you:
  • RecordListMode: C or S (Child or Sequence). When you have a Record "Master" with an attribute "ChildList" that is a RecordList of "Child" Records, when RecordListMode is set to C the output will be something like <Master><ChildList><Child>...</Child><Child>...</Child></ChildList></Master>. When it is set to S, the output will be  <Master><Child>...</Child><Child>...</Child></Master> (ommits the parent element of the recordlist.
If you set this option to "S", then when generating the contents of a list the root for the list won't be included, in your case DrctDbtTxInf_RL won't be included in the XML structure.

Best regards,
Gonçalo Fonseca

In your structure "PAYMENT_INFORMATION"

Rename the record list from "DrctDbtTxInf_RL" to "PmtInf" and you will be able to achieve the desired result.

Thank you @Robert and @Gonçalo.

I ended up using the RecordListMode setting with success...it passed by me the first time I lookup up the topic.
