Discussion
%XML_DOC_TOSTRING creates and returns an XML string that contains an entire XML document. You can then retrieve the Synergy memory handle for that string using %XML_STRING_GETHANDLE.
You can alternatively serialize an XML document into an XML file using %XML_DOC_TOFILE.
Strings created with %XML_DOC_TOSTRING should be deleted using %XML_STRING_DELETE when you’re done with them.
|
When serializing an XML document to a string, %XML_DOC_TOSTRING will not unescape any escaped text or attribute values in the XML document even if %XML_OPTION is set to SYNESCAPE_UNESCAPE. |
This function is defined as ^VAL.
