Reads and parses an incoming XML data stream (XML document).
[Ok :=] XMLPORT.IMPORT(Number, InStream) |
Parameters
- Number
- Type: IntegerThe ID of the XMLport that you want to run.If the XMLport that you specify does not exist, a run-time error occurs.

- Type: ISequentialStreamThe source from which the import XMLport object will read the XML data stream.
Example
The following example imports data from an XML document to a table. The code uses the OPEN Function (File) to open the XML document named NewCustomer.xml from a folder named Import on the C: drive. The CREATEINSTREAM Function (File) creates a data stream to get the data from the XML document to the table. The IMPORT Function (XMLport) then imports, parses the data and adds it as a record to the table by using an XMLport (50004). The CLOSE Function (File) then closes the data stream. This example assumes that you have created a NewCustomer.xml file in a folder named Import on the C drive and you have created an XMLport and given it ID 50004. This example requires that you create the following variables in the C/AL Globals window.
