NUM-CHILDREN attribute

Returns the number of child nodes below the node referred to by a node reference. Attributes are not counted since they are not considered children of a node.

Data type:

INTEGER

Access:

Read-only

Applies to:

X-document object handle, X-noderef object handle

The following example demonstrates getting all the child nodes from the XML node referenced by hNoderef using the NUM-CHILDREN attribute:

 

REPEAT jx = 1 TO hNoderef:NUM-CHILDREN:   hNoderef:GET-CHILD(hNoderefChild, jx).   . . . END.
