Description

Parameter list

A list containing at least one name/value pair to be used whenever transform operations are performed.

The XML SET XSL-PARAMETERS-NEW is for managed code only and must be paired with the XML END XSL-PARAMETERS-NEW statement. It allows any type of COBOL data items. It passes a list of name/value pairs to XML Extensions, where they are stored until one of the following occurs:

  • They are replaced by a subsequent execution of an XML SET XSL-PARAMETERS statement.
  • They are cleared by executing an XML CLEAR XSL-PARAMETERS statement.
  • They are cleared by flushing the cache (the statements XML INITIALIZE, XML ENABLE CACHE, XML DISABLE CACHE, XML FLUSH CACHE, and XML TERMINATE all clear the cache).
  • The COBOL run-unit terminates.

The saved parameters are used whenever any of the following transform operations occur:

  • The XML TRANSFORM FILE statement is executed.
  • The XML EXPORT FILE, XML EXPORT TEXT, XML IMPORT FILE, or XML IMPORT TEXT statements reference an optional stylesheet.

A maximum of 20 name/value pairs may be specified. If more than 20 pairs are specified or the parameters are not specified as pairs, an error will be reported.

Example

XML SET XSL-PARAMETERS-NEW
 "MY-COUNT", 7
XML END XSL-PARAMETERS-NEW.
IF NOT XML-OK GO TO Z.
