Reading and writing XML with temp-tables, temp-table buffers, and ProDataSets

Temp-tables, temp-table buffers, and ProDataSets have the following methods:

READ-XML() method — Load an XML document into a 4GL object.
READ-XMLSCHEMA() method — Read an XML Schema document into a dynamic 4GL object to create its definition.
WRITE-XML() method — Write the contents of the 4GL object to an XML document.
WRITE-XMLSCHEMA() method — Write the 4GL definition of an object to an XML Schema document using the XML Schema Definition (XSD) language.

You do not need to be familiar with XML and XML Schema to use these methods and the associated attributes. See Chapter 22 "Reading and Writing XML Using Temp-Tables and ProDataSets" for complete documentation.
