Question about XMLport with repeated attributes

northerner

I am creating an XMLport which must generate XML with fields like this:

<firstName xsi:type="xsd:string"/>
<lastName xsi:type="xsd:string"/>
<company xsi:type="xsd:string"/>

The 'xsi:type' is added to the XMLport as an attribute. Currently I've got it set as 'source type' = text, and 'data source' of xsdstring. In the OnInitXMLport trigger, there's a line of code assigning a value to the field:

xsdstring := 'xsd:string';

The problem is when I try to save the XMLport, I get an error message saying that

The variable XSDSTRING is defined more than once.

An example could be: 'File' exists as both a data type and a global variable.

OK

Because the value is used many times, I don't want to declare and assign 'xsdstring1', 'xsdstring2', etc. I also don't have / need the value in a table, so don't really want to create a new table to store the value. What's the best way of doing this?

Many thanks in advance!

xmlport can't handle namespaces. You'll have to use MSxmldom to generate the xml file.
You can create the xml file first with xmlport without the namespaces and then add it with msxmldom
