XMLPort Element Skip

pferreira

Hi,
I have the following issue:
I have an XMLPort with this structure:



I wan to to export a document, and the values are filled with "code-behind".
When the "Percent" has the value of 0 I would like to bypass the hole "itemallowancesorcharges".

I've tried evaluating the value of "Percent" and do currXML.SKIP, but this makes me get on a loop... and the document doesn't stop it's growth!

My question is... how can I bypass the itemallowancesorcharges?

One suggestion is to make ItemAllowancesOrCharges element related to a table. It could be related to the Number table and then you could just apply filters to control how many records (i.e. how many copies of the element) are put in the file. This filter (i.e. decision to export) must be made before the opening tag of that element is created.

//Assume itemNumberTable is the variable name assigned 
//to ItemAllowancesOrCharges element
if Percent = '0' then
  itemNumberTable.setrange(number,1,1)
else
  itemNumberTable.setrange(number,1,0);

Note I haven't actually experimented with this particular case but this is the first thing that I would try.

jlandeen,
Didn't understand your solution.

I think I'll go with a KISS solution. Replicate the XMLPort delete the itemallowancesorcharges element, and evaluate the "Percent" field before calling anyXMLPort so it "routs" to the correct one.

A bit to much "KISS" but.. it will do the job! :whistle:

My KISS solution turns out to be a bit to much "stupid" #-o
I was thinking about it, and it won't do! On the same file, I can have records that must have that element and others that don't. ](*,)
