The current state of a XML write in a SAX-writer object.
Data type: INTEGER
Access: Read-only
Applies to: SAX-writer object handle
The default value is SAX-WRITE-IDLE.
The possible values WRITE-STATUS can assume are shown in the following table.
| WRITE-STATUS | Description | Integer value |
|---|---|---|
| SAX-WRITE-IDLE | No writing has occurred. | 1 |
| SAX-WRITE-BEGIN | The START-DOCUMENT method has been called and writing has begun. | 2 |
| SAX-WRITE-TAG | The writer has written an opening tag. This is the only time that attributes can be inserted with INSERT-ATTRIBUTE and DECLARE-NAMESPACE. | 3 |
| SAX-WRITE-ELEMENT | The writer is within an element. | 4 |
| SAX-WRITE-CONTENT | The writer has written the content of an element. In other words, the WRITE-CHARACTERS method has been called. | 5 |
| SAX-WRITE-COMPLETE | The END-DOCUMENT method has been called and writing is complete. | 6 |
| SAX-WRITE-ERROR | The SAX-writer could not start or could not
continue. Likely causes include: SAX-writer could not be loaded, the XML target
could not be written to, a method call fails, etc. This is the status if there is an invalid XML generated while STRICT is TRUE. If the status is SAX-WRITE-ERROR then no attributes can be written and the only method that can be called is RESET. |
