Reuse a global element that you have defined.
Before you start:
Create or open
a DFDL schema file. See
DFDL schema editor for a description
of the
DFDL schema editor.
After you have defined a global element, you can include
a reference to it in a sequence or choice. You define the element
only once, and can then easily reuse it. Any changes that you make
to the element are automatically reflected in other objects that contain
a reference to the element.
- In the Outline, select the message, element, type,
or group that you want to add an element reference to.
- Right-click the selected object in the Editor area of the
screen and select Add Element Reference.
- Select the appropriate element from the list. A
reference to the element is inserted. An arrow on the icon next to
the element name denotes that it is a reference to another element.
