Supported data types in XSD files

Refer to the table below when you need to specify data types when working with the M-Business XML API. For information on designing an application and setting up supporting files, see Using M-Business XML Conduit and API and Building Applications with M-Business XML Conduit.

Caution

If you are supporting double-byte character set (DBCS) data, you need to follow some additional guidelines for setting up the supporting files. See Working with double-byte character sets (DBCS).
