Description

The XMLCREATEDTD() function will create a Document Type Definition (DTD) file which matches the table open in the current workarea. This DTD file can then be used to validate Extensible Markup Language (XML) files created for this table. An optional workarea name or number may be specified to select a table in another workarea.

Parameters	Required	Default	Description
<workarea>	No	None	The workarea number or name to use.

The XMLCREATEDTD() function will return .T. for success and .F. if it fails.

Note: The XMLFORMAT setting determines whether Recital creates the DTD file. A DTD file will only be created when XMLFORMAT is set to Recital. If XMLFORMAT is set to ADO, the XMLCREATEDTD() will return .T., but no DTD file will be created.

Example

use prospect
set xmlformat to recital
? xmlcreatedtd()
.T.
