Introduction

XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language.

XML is a widely used scheme that allows data to be transmitted from one application to another without regard to how the applications were written.

In a way similar to Comma Delimited Files, XML files may be written using a modified Format statement.

Syntax: File(LUN)XML  ! Write to this file in XML Format
Discussion:

Each XML data item is composed of a name and a value. It looks like this: <name>value</name>. When indicated by the file statement above, Comet32 will treat a format statement differently than when specifying normal data output. The section of a format specification normally used for the edit mask is now treated as the item name. The item values are blank stripped and escaped according to XML specifications.
