Easiest way to create an XML file

[Mike Hatfield]

Hi All,

Is there a program or utility that can read file with a dictionary definition and Output it an XML file 
Thanks

Yes, there is way to do this if you're using PxPlus 2024, released last week.


Create a query to define the file(s) and fields. Then you can use the query definition in conjunction with the new *tools/qryexport utility to generate a Microsoft XML file that can be used to populate a spreadsheet. (It can also generate comma-separated (.csv), tab-delimited (.txt) and symbolic link (.slk) files.


Call "*tools/qryexport",queryName$,queryLib$,exportfile$[,queryopts$,show_flg$]


Here's more info on all the options:
