Type of selected node (XmlDoc and XmlNode classes)
Type returns the type of node of the head of the argument XPath result.
Syntax
%xmlNodeType = nr:Type[( [xpath])] Throws XPathError
Syntax terms
| %xmlNodeType | A declared enumeration object of type XmlNodeType (see below) to contain the returned value of Type. |
|---|---|
| nr | An XmlDoc or XmlNode, used as the context node for the xpath expression. If an XmlDoc, the Root node is the context node. |
| xpath | A Unicode string that is an Xpath expression that results in a nodelist. The head of the nodelist is the node to process.
This is an optional argument whose default is a period (.), that is, the node referenced by the method object (nr). Prior to Sirius Mods Version 7.6, this argument is an EBCDIC string. |
XmlNodeType enumeration
Type returns an XmlNodeType enumeration value, which may be one of the following:
- Attribute
- Comment
- Element
- PI (which stands for Processing Instruction)
- Root
- Text
Examples
The following example displays the string value of the type of the node pointed to by %nod:
print %nod:type:toString
Request-cancellation errors
- xpath expression is invalid.
- Result of xpath is empty.
- Insufficient free space exists in CCATEMP.
