If Not XML-OK Go To Z.	If the statement terminates unsuccessfully, go to the termination logic.

Exporting an XML document

XML EXPORT TEXT Address-Struct Document-Pointer Document-Length "Address-Struct".	Execute the XML EXPORT TEXT statement specifying: the data item address, the XML document text pointer, the XML document text length, and the ModelFileName#DataName parameter value.
If Not XML-OK Go To Z.	If the statement terminates unsuccessfully, go to the termination logic.

Importing an XML document

COBOL Statement	Description
