XMLTODYN

XMLTODYN converts the XML to a dynamic array using the optional XSL.

COMMAND SYNTAX

    XMLTODYN(XML, XSL, result)

SYNTAX ELEMENTS

Array = XMLTODYN(XML,XSL,result)

If result = 0 Array will contain a dynamic array built from the xml / xsl

If result <> 0, Array will contain an error message

There is no requirement for xsl if you are reconverting from generic xml to dynarray

    a = "Tom" : @AM : "Dick" : @AM : "Harry"
    xml = DYNTOXML(a, '', result)
    b = XMLTODYN(xml, '', result
    CRT CHANGE(b, @AM, ' ')

Screen output:

     Tom Dick Harry

If passing a stylesheet in the second parameter, it performs a transform to give a different format of the array.
