Modifying the XML files directly
You can edit the XML files with any text editor, or a specific XML editor.
The file begins with a standard XML header, and all of the Uniface data is held between two markers:
<uniface_schema>
</uniface_schema>
Do not add any lines after this last tag.
Lines added between tags, but within the <uniface_schema> will be preserved.
<uniface_schema>
<!-— this is a safe comment -->
<XMLuform>
<ulabel>NEW</ulabel>
</XMLuform>
</uniface_schema>
Lines added between tags, within tags will not be preserved, e.g.:
<uniface_schema>
<XMLuform>
<!-— comment that will dissapear when the form is edited in IDF -->
<ulabel>NEW</ulabel>
</XMLuform>
</uniface_schema>
Entity tags should always end in a new line, or else certain performance optimisations in the driver are unavailable:
CORRECT α
<uniface_schema>
<XMLuform><ulabel>NEW1</ulabel></XMLuform>
<XMLuform><ulabel>NEW2</ulabel></XMLuform>
</uniface_schema>
INCORRECT ρ
<uniface_schema>
<XMLuform><ulabel>NEW1</ulabel>
</XMLuform><XMLuform><ulabel>NEW2</ulabel>
</XMLuform>
</uniface_schema>
