XML Syntax - IDENTIFIED BY Clause

The IDENTIFIED BY clause enables you to map an XML data name (tag) to a COBOL data name.

General Format

XML Syntax - IDENTIFIED BY clause

Syntax Rules:

Data-name-1 is a COBOL data name.
Literal-1 is an XML tag or attribute name.
If data-name-1 is specified, this clause must appear on a group item and data-name-1 must be defined directly within that group item.
The IS ATTRIBUTE clause is mandatory when literal-1 or data-name-1 defines an attribute.

General Rules:

If a group item has an IDENTIFIED BY clause for it, any non-IDENTIFIED data items within it receive the data contained within the tag identified for the group item.
