I want an short form empty element in the XML output message, such as:
<tag/> instead of <tag></tag>.

I understand this is can be done in XML domain by setting the content of the element to NULL. For instance:

SET OutputRoot.XML.Invoice.Cashier.(XML.Content) = NULL;

generates the following XML:

<Invoice><Cashier/></Invoice>

But I am handling XML in MRM domain now. If I say:

SET OutputRoot.MRM.Invoice.Cashier VALUE = NULL;

It always creates the long form XML empty tag which is not what I want for some business reason.

<Invoice><Cashier></Cashier></Invoice>

How can get the short form of XML empty tag in MRM XML?

All physical format information is carried in the message definition. Look on the XML tab for the field.

Can you be more specific on this? Which definition can display XML empty tag with short form?

Is there a particular reason why you are using the MRM parser for writing XML? XMLNSC would be much more future proof. MRM XML has a number of known limitations which are not likely to be fixed.

This is required by my customer. I know this is not an issue if using the XMLNSC domain. I just wanted to know if the same thing can be done in MRM - a shor form of XML empty tag.
