InterForm Manual - System & Method

*CLOSE XML file closed (The XML file is done: Process the finished file if needed)
*END End processing (Close files if necessary)
For the XML output file you can e.g. include variables (*V1-*V9) and the special variable *STAMP
to include a time stamp in the path or file name as shown above.
These options are available:
Create directories Activate this option to let InterForm400 automatically create the necessary
directories, if they should not already exist. If you state ‘N’ and there is a
directory missing, then you will get an error message, when you try to
create the XML file(s).
Generate unique* name
If you should happen to setup a definition, which will try to create an XML
file, that already exist, then you can with this option simply tell
InterForm400 to automatically generate a new XML file name if needed.
An extra counter will be added just before the .xml extension in the file
name above. Please note, that the xml files are only unique per spooled
file - so if you rerun the same spooled file, then the xml files will be named
the same as the first time you run the definition.
Replace stream file State ‘Y’, if you want new XML files to replace existing ones with the same
name.
If you have included a variable (*V1-*V9) in the file name or path, then you need also to define
them. That is done via F10=Define variables on the screen above, via which you can see the
defined variables and add new with F6 like below:

Refer to page 251 for a complete description of how you can define the variables in an XML
definition.
Unless you state a double slash (//) for the root node in the XML structure (as described on page
250), you will only create one XML file and the value for the variables is found only on the first
page. If you do state a double slash one XML file will be created for each new value of the
variable.
