xFilesTree - example using definition with included queues

questions
1

I used the Capesoft Code Gen to create a Clarion definition from XML data provided.
The definition includes defined queues.
Is there an example of how to manipulate those queue?
They are part of nested groups and I can’t seem to get the syntax correct.

A little fuzzy as to what you are asking w/o an example but the 3 steps are

  1. Load the XML into your clarion structures
  2. Manipulate the data as you would in normal clarion code
  3. Save the clarion structure back into XML

For some types of structures, the compiler (or whatever you call the thing that does this :slight_smile: ) gets confused when you try to reference the entire thing.

In those cases, sometimes it helps to assign sub-parent structures to a reference. Then try manipulating whatever is in the reference.

e.g. some pseudo-code here:

MyBigStructure  LIKE(MyBigStructureType)
MySubStructure &MySubStructureType

  CODE

  MySubStructure &= MyBigStructure.SomeSubStructure

  MySubStructure.Whatever = Whatever

Okay, having some luck now but trying to figure this one out…

Here’s the code:

ReportTotals     Group,Name('ReportTotals')
AllTotalsGroup       Group,Name('AllTotalsGroup')
Sales                                                    Real,Name('Sales')
Tax                                         Real,Name('Tax')
                                 End
ProductTotalsGrp   &ProductTotalGrpQueueType,Name('ReportTotals | queue | RowName(ProductTotalsGrp)')
                               End



ProductTotalGrpQueueType   Queue,Type,Name('ReportTotals | RowName(ProductTotalsGrp)')
ProductCode                    STRING(255),Name('ProductCode')
ProductSales                                    Real,Name('ProductSales')
ProductTax                                         Real,Name('ProductTax')
                                 End

Expected Results: Under Report Totals there is an ALL and then one Product for each product (this is the Queue)

         <ReportTotals>
                  <AllTotalsGroup>
                     <Sales>38000.92</Sales>
                     <Tax>2000.00</Tax>
                    </AllTotalsGroup>
                    <ProductTotalsGrp>
                    <ProductCode>ABC</ProductCode>
                     <ProductSales>10000.00</ProductSales>
                     <ProductTax>2000.00</ProductTax>
                     </ProductTotalsGrp>
                      <ProductTotalsGrp>
                       <ProductCode>XYZ</ProductCode>
                       <ProductSales>12000.00</ProductSales>
                        <ProductTax>2000.00</ProductTax>
                      </ProductTotalsGrp>
                 </ReportTotals>

Actual Results: I can’t get it to NOT repeat ‘Report Totals’ when building the Queue section.
I’ve tried reversing them, but then it just creates ProductTotalGrp → ReportTotals…

      <ReportTotals>
                <AllTotalsGroup>
                                <Sales>38000.92</Sales>
                                <Tax>2000.00</Tax>
                </AllTotalsGroup>
        <ReportTotals>
          <ProductTotalsGrp>
                                <ProductCode>ABC</ProductCode>
                                <ProductSales>10000.00</ProductSales>
                                <ProductTax>2000.00</ProductTax>
          </ProductTotalsGrp>
          <ProductTotalsGrp>
                                <ProductCode>XYZ</ProductCode>
                                <ProductSales>12000.00</ProductSales>
                                <ProductTax>2000.00</ProductTax>
          </ProductTotalsGrp>
        </ReportTotals>
      </ReportTotals>

Any ideas / suggestions?

Found the solution:

Needs to be:

ProductTotalsGrp &ProductTotalGrpQueueType,Name(‘ReportTotals | queue | xmlName() | RowName(ProductTotalsGrp)’)
