MRM XML: In-line DTDs and the DOCTYPE text property
You can include in-line DTDs in
your messages, and you can specify additional information by setting
the property DOCTYPE Text.
The parser takes certain actions when constructing an output message.
If the output message has to be regenerated, for example if you
configure a Compute node to create an output message by coding ESQL
statements like SET OutputRoot.MRM.Field1 = xxx:
If you have set the property Suppress
DOCTYPE for the message set in which you have defined
this message to Yes,
both DOCTYPE information (specified in the DOCTYPE Text property for the
message set or message) and in-line DTD are excluded from the output
message.
If you have set the property Suppress
DOCTYPE for the message set in which you have defined
this message to No.
The in-line DTD is preserved if possible.
Otherwise, if the message is self-defining, the message set DOCTYPE Text property information
is included in the output message.
Otherwise (the message is not self-defining), the message
level DOCTYPE Text property
information is included in the output message.
If the output message does not have to be regenerated, the parser
generates an output message that is a direct copy of the input message.
This occurs if you have configured a Compute node in the message flow
to copy the message using SET OutputRoot = InputRoot (explicitly,
or by checking the Copy entire
message check box), and you do not modify the message
in any way in this or any other node. In this case the in-line DTD
is retained in the output message but any information that you specify
in the DOCTYPE Text property
for the message set or message is not included.
