I have a client with a need for XML output from Foxpro. I have played with it a bit in the past- enough to generate something useful, but he needs a specific header in his XML file and I have not figured out how add it:
In the past I have made simple XML files from a Cursor that generate data in this fashion:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<Tablename>
-<Field1>datum1</Field1>
-<Field2>datam2</Field2>
-</Tablename>
Foxpro will do that just with the CURSORTOXML() command. But, this time I need to add some sort of a header defination:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<Mcr reportingDate="2011-01-01"
-<Tablename>
-<Field1>datum1</Field1>
-<Field2>datam2</Field2>
-</Tablename>
-</mcr>
And I am lost how to do this. Any ideas, or useful references to a how to guide on this?
