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 to contain the returned value of Type. These values are listed in "Usage Notes", below.
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 modelist. The head of the modelist is the mode 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.

Usage notes

  • Type returns an XmlNodeType enumeration value, which may be one of the following:
    • Attribute
    • Comment
    • Element
    • PI (which stands for Processing Instruction)
    • Root
    • Text
    For more information about enumerations, see Enumerations.

Example

  1. 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 is invalid.
  • Result of (XPath) is empty.
  • Insufficient free space exists in CCATEMP.
