9.2.5 Create Data Selections in XML Emulation
To create a Contiguous data selection with an XML emulation:
1. Open the properties dialog box for the object for which you want to create a data selection.
2. In the properties dialog box, click Data.
3. Set options for the XML data selection:
XPath: Specify the path in the structure for the data selection you want to obtain.
From iteration and To iteration fields: Use these fields to specify the range of the data selection.
The To iteration field allows a value of 0. When To iteration is not zero, it must be higher than the value
of From iteration and is the last iteration index. If it is zero, the repetition occurs from the From iteration
to the maximum (or entire) number of elements.
Data Type: Specify how you want to select the information: by Count, Name, or Value as follows.
Data
Type
Description
Count Returns an integer indicating the number of nodes for the specified XPath.
Name Returns a string that represents the name of the current node or the first node in the
specified XPath.
Value Returns a string that represents the content of the node in the specified XPath.
Element on which to iterate field: Select the element on which to iterate. Using this in conjunction
with the From iteration and To iteration fields narrows the scope of the data selection set.
Data Selector: Click the data selector button to open the Data Selector. Opening the Data Selector
carries over the selections made in the fields of the Data Selection dialog box.
4. Click OK.
