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:

As a prerequisite for using the XML profile parameter, the profile parameter CFICU must be set to CFICU=ON.

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.
