The following code does not behave how I understand it should:
| Code: |
DECLARE sampleField CHARACTER 'sampleField';
CREATE LASTCHILD OF OutputRoot.XMLNSC NAME sampleField;
DECLARE outRoot REFERENCE TO OutputRoot.XMLNSC;
MOVE outRoot TO OutputRoot.XMLNSC.sampleField;
IF LASTMOVE(outRoot) THEN
RETURN TRUE;
END IF;
|
It returns true but when I step through with the debugger, outRoot is not pointing to anything. It correctly points to the XMLNSC tag but "fails" when I move it to the sample field...
Am I misunderstanding the MOVE function? |

| I think you're misunderstanding the debugger. |

That is the result of my debugger at that stage, if you replace the word sampleField with UpdateCall. This, and results further down the flow, lead me to believe it's not referencing anything? |

That is exactly what I would expect it to do.
Normally I would advise you to take a user trace, but
a) people never do, even when I suggest it and
b) smdavies99 would be sure to poke fun at me, and I'm a very sensitive person. |

But on the plus side they are then caught in a trap of their own making and we can laugh at them. Or is that just me?

I have found my user traces but I don't believe I have mqsireadlog functionality on this computer. All my logs are in the format *.bin.* if that's correct?
EDIT: I apologize, I have found how to use mqsireadlog. I will upload one in a second. |

If the user trace (which is not quite the same as the default log) doesn't enable you to spot the problem. Which it may well do.

So what do you see happening?
How does this vary from what you expect your code to be doing?

How's life in the 'Rust-Belt'?

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

| I don't see anything that stands out as erroneous. I declare a CHARACTER variable, create a last child of the XMLNSC node, set a reference to that node, and then move it to the newly created last child... |

Ohio has many things to recommend it. Endless oppertunities for moody photographs of decaying industrial buildings for one.

| The code isn't acting as intended - which may in fact be how I am using the functions... But I'm afraid I'm missing your hints; if the lines of code in my OP are working as they should, my next question is how do write the ESQL such that the reference actually refers to the child of XMLNSC? |

So let's tackle this a different way. What (apart from the debugger) makes you think the reference isn't pointing to the child of XMLNSC and what did you intend the code to do? What is the difference between what the user trace says the code is doing and what you intend the code to do?
