The XML node type of the buffer-field or ProDataSet object, which lets you specify how the object is represented in XML and XML Schema.
Data type: CHARACTER
Access: Readable/Writeable
Applies to: Buffer-field object handle, ProDataSet object handle
The following table lists the valid XML node types for a buffer-field object.
| When the XML node type is . . . | The buffer field is . . . |
|---|---|
| "ATTRIBUTE" | Represented as an attribute of the temp-table element in both the XML Schema and data. |
| "ELEMENT" | Represented as a child element of the temp-table element in both the XML Schema and data. |
| "HIDDEN" | Omitted from both the XML Schema and data. |
| "TEXT" | Represented as a text element in both the XML
Schema and data. Note: Each table can contain only
one "TEXT" field. When a table contains a "TEXT" field,
it cannot contain "ELEMENT" fields; it can contain
only "ATTRIBUTE" fields. A table that contains
a "TEXT" field cannot be part of a nested data-relation.

This attribute's purpose overlaps with the SERIALIZE-HIDDEN attribute. Because of this overlap, the attributes interact as follows:
