Parameter	Description
value	(exp) A string specifying the name of an export template previously saved in the DataWindow painter for the specified DataWindow object

Usage

This property should be set to specify the logical structure of the XML generated before you call the SaveAs method with XML! as the SaveAsType to save data as an XML document, or use the .Data.XML expression to save data as an XML string.

Examples

Example 1

This example stores the name of the export template used in dw1 in the string ls_template. If no template is selected in dw1, an empty string is returned.

string ls_template_name
ls_template_name = dw1.Describe("DataWindow.Export.XML.UseTemplate")

Example 2

This example sets the name of the current XML export template used in dw1 to t_report. If t_report does not exist, the current template is not changed.

dw1.Modify("DataWindow.Export.XML.UseTemplate = 't_report' ")
