Indicates whether a temp-table field or ProDataSet name
is written when the temp-table or ProDataSet is serialized, for
example into JSON or XML.
Data type: LOGICAL
Access: Readable/Writeable
Applies
to:
Buffer-field object handle, ProDataSet object handle
This attribute's purpose overlaps with the XML-NODE-TYPE
attribute. Because of this overlap, the attributes interact as follows:
- The WRITE-XML( ) method always uses the XML-NODE-TYPE
attribute value. If you set a value for the XML-NODE-TYPE attribute,
it keeps that value regardless of how you set the SERIALIZE-HIDDEN
attribute.
- If you do not set the XML-NODE-TYPE attribute and set the SERIALIZE-HIDDEN attribute to
TRUE, the AVM sets XML-NODE-TYPE to "HIDDEN".
- If you do not set the XML-NODE-TYPE attribute and set the SERILIAZE-HIDDEN attribute to
FALSE, the AVM sets XML-NODE-TYPE to "ELEMENT".
- If you do not set either attribute, the AVM sets XML-NODE-TYPE to
"ELEMENT" and sets SERIALIZE-HIDDEN to FALSE.
This attribute does not apply to database buffer fields.
For
more information about using this attribute, see the documentation
on working with JSON.
