2. Click Basic Attributes and set the Basic Attributes for the data selection object.
3. Click Data to create the data selection.
4. 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 the To iteration is not zero, it must be higher than the
value of the 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.

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. Use this in conjunction
with the From iteration and To iteration fields to narrow the scope of the data selection set.
Data Selector: Open the Data Selector. Opening the Data Selector carries over the selections made in
the fields of the Data Selection dialog box.

than one object such as barcodes, text, and business graphics.
To set Repeat properties for XML emulations:
1. In the Repeat mode field, select Line repeat.
2. Click to select the XML data.
3. In the From iteration and To iteration fields, enter the iteration range on which to repeat.
