XML-port and language

Trixz · 2006-08-30

When I do a xml-port and run an export the boolean field and option fields get the value yes/no or the text (caption) that the optionfield has.

But if I change the language to swedish, I get the swedish Ja/Nej and the caption in swedish. This is exelent when you want to read it, but nog good when you want to process the xml by code later.

Example would be when the swedish office wants to send a xml file to the german office, then you would have to handle the diffrent language.

I guess you have to write some code to convert a boolean "false" to "No" and a true to Yes.

Or better :
-a true/yes/ja to -1
-a false/no/nej to 0

You need to set the format of the field to standard format 9. Why? See the on-line help for FORMAT function.

Boolean Format Example
<Text> 0 Yes/No
<Text> 1 Yes/No
<Number> 2 1/0
XML format 9 true/false
