Mapping XML attributes to language structure members

Enterprise Service Tools Single service projects provide Support for mapping XML attributes to COBOL language structure members and generating corresponding COBOL Compiled XML Conversion artifacts.

The Enterprise Service Tools Single-service Projects Mapping Editor and COBOL XML converter code generators now support the mapping of XML attributes to language structure members. Using this support, it is now possible to parse and generate XML documents that contain both XML elements and XML attributes. The ability to convert XML attributes is important because of the common practice for XML Schema authors to define XML documents that employ a mixture of XML elements and XML attributes to hold instance data. To indicate that both XML elements and XML attributes are supported, the Mapping Editor now decorates elements and attributes with appropriate icons.
