Hi,
Q1. Is it possible to generate the empty tag in the format <tagname/> in MQSI 2.1?
Q2. Is there any way of differentiate <tagname></tagname> and <tagname/> in MQSI 2.1?
Thanks,
C.K. |

Hi,
just pass null value to that tag it will genarate the <tagname/>, i hope there is no difference between those.
try this,
SET OutputRoot.XML.Body.Tagname='';
good luck,
Chandra. |

Hi Chandra,
I already tried this to no avail in MQSI 2.1. In MQSI 2.0.2, it is possible to generate <tagname/> but in this version it cannot.
The reason why I want to do this is the consultancy firm AccXnture suggests using <tagname></tagname> for "EMPTY" and <tagname/> for "NULL" in Siebel. "EMPTY" means no value for the tag and "NULL" means this tag should be ignored entirely. I think this is an abuse of XML but AccXnture is really domineering. Any other suggestions?
Thanks

Hi
Use like this
SET OutputRoot.XML.tag1.tag2.(XML.Content) = NULL;
generates the following XML:
<tag1><tag2/></tag1>
Regards
Amit

Hi,
Thanks a lot. One more question.
Input XML's:
1. <test><tagname></tagname></test>
2. <test><tagname/></test>
Is it possible to differentiate the input XML's for different processing in ESQL?
Thanks |

Hi,
I guess tagname = '' or tagname.(XML.Content) = '' for the first and tagname.(XML.Content) = NULL for the second. Just try.

I tried it, doesn't work.
Setting XML.Content to NULL is only a 'trick' to force the short form of an empty tag.
It looks like it's not possible to distinquise the difference in an input message, which is all to well as according to the XML standard there is no difference.
