XML GET FLAGS

This statement has the following parameter:

Description

Parameter	Description
Flags	A numeric value that represents one or more flags.

The XML GET FLAGS statement retrieves the setting of the flags that are used for internal data conversion. Valid flag values are specified in the copybook, lixmldef.cpy. The initial setting of the flags has the following flag values set: PF-Leading-Spaces, PF-Trailing-Spaces, PF-Leading-Minus, and PF-Rounded. The setting of the flags can be changed with the XML SET FLAGS statement.

Note: These flag values are 78-level constants. They are case insensitive and require the use of the hyphen character.

In managed code the Flags argument is restricted to a PIC X(4) COMP-X data item or equivalent. See Managed Code Considerations for more information.

A status value is returned in the data item XML-data-group, which is defined in the copybook, lixmldef.cpy.
