# XML - Activate PARSE XML and REQUEST DOCUMENT Statements

This Natural profile parameter is used to activate/deactivate the statements `REQUEST DOCUMENT` and `PARSE XML`. It corresponds to the `NTXML` macro in the Natural parameter module.

Possible settings | See XML Parameter Syntax.
Default setting | `XML=(OFF)` |
Dynamic specification | yes | The parameter `XML` can only be specified dynamically. In the Natural parameter module, use the macro `NTXML`.
Specification within session | no |

Notes:

1. As a prerequisite for using the `XML` profile parameter, the profile parameter `CFICU` must be set to `CFICU=ON`.
2. See also Statements for Internet and XML Access in the Programming Guide.

## XML Parameter Syntax

The `XML` parameter is specified as follows:

XML=(ON,keyword-subparameter=value,keyword-subparameter=value,...)

Or:

XML=(OFF,keyword-subparameter=value,keyword-subparameter=value,...)

Where:

Syntax Element / Value | Explanation
--- | ---
`ON` | Enable XML support according to the keyword subparameter settings. For the `PARSE XML` and `REQUEST DOCUMENT` statement usage, the subparameters `RDOC` and `PARSE` must be set to `ON` as well.
`OFF` | Disable XML support. Any subparameter settings are ignored. This is the default value.
`keyword-subparameter` | Names and values of possible keyword subparameters; see Keyword Subparameters.
