CREATE X-NODEREF statement

Creates a handle which can be used as a parameter or return-value for methods which will associate the handle with an XML node. This object is not a node in its own right, but merely a way to provide access to the underlying XML node.

Syntax

CREATE X-NODEREF handle [ IN WIDGET-POOL widget-pool-name ]

handle

A valid X-noderef object handle to use for the new XML node.

IN WIDGET-POOL widget-pool-name

An expression of type CHARACTER that evaluates, at run time, to the name of the widget pool that contains the XML node.

Note: Widget pool names are not case-sensitive.

Example

The following code fragment depicts creating an XML document node reference and using it to create a node:

DEFINE VARIABLE hXdoc AS HANDLE. . . . CREATE X-DOCUMENT hXdoc. CREATE X-NODEREF hXnode. hXdoc:CREATE-NODE(hXnode,"City","ELEMENT"). . . .
