Specifies how the XMLAdapterВ LoadXML, Attach, AddTableSchema, and ToXML methods and the XMLTableВ ToCursor, ChangesToCursor, and ApplyDiffGram methods handle character strings.
XMLFieldВ Unicode specifies whether to place a Unicode string into the field.
Note: |
---|
If XMLFieldВ IsBinary property is True (.T.), and XMLFieldВ Unicode is True (.T.), Visual FoxPro generates the appropriate message. |
Read/write at design time and run time.
Object.Unicode [= lValue] |
Parameters
- lValue
-
Specifies a logical value that determines the how strings are handled depending on the method being executed or are stored.
The following table describes the values and behaviors of Unicode depending on the method being called or object.
Method or Object lValue XMLAdapter LoadXML and Attach methods
True (.T.): Doubles length of a given string and assigns result to the XMLFieldВ MaxLength property.
False (.F.): Assigns length of a given string to the XMLFieldВ MaxLength property.
When LoadXML and Attach is called, XMLFieldВ Unicode is set to the value of XMLAdapterВ Unicode for Character and Memo fields.
XMLAdapterВ AddTableSchema method
True (.T.): Assigns value of XMLAdapterВ Unicode (True, or .T.) to XMLFieldВ Unicode.
False (.F.): Assigns value of XMLAdapterВ Unicode (False, or .F.) to XMLFieldВ Unicode.
XMLAdapter ToXML method
True (.T.): Divides length of a given character field by 2 and assigns the result to xsd:maxLength.
False (.F.): Assigns length of a given character field to xsd:maxLength.
When using XMLAdapterВ ToXML, the content of the field is converted from Unicode to the code page of the XML, and the embedded null symbol (CHR(0)+CHR(0)) is considered a string terminator. For Unicode strings stored in Character fields, if the string length is shorter than the field size, the null terminator is required. To terminate the string, use
CHR(0)+CHR(0)
.XMLTableВ ToCursor, ChangesToCursor, and ApplyDiffgram methods
True (.T.): Creates field with NOCPTRANS flag regardless of XMLFieldВ NoCpTrans property and stores a Unicode string in the field. For more information, see SET NOCPTRANS Command.
Note: If the XMLFieldВ MaxLength property is an odd number, Visual FoxPro generates the appropriate message. False (.F.): Creates the field as a regular Character or Memo field.
XMLField object
True (.T.): Stores a Unicode string in the field.
False (.F.): Stores a non-Unicode string in the field.
