`C' rules for octal and hex
|
Number
|
Determines how numeric values are treated. If this property is set to True and the value begins with 0x, the value is treated as hexadecimal (base 16). If the value begins with 0, it is treated as octal (base 8). Otherwise, it is treated as base 10.

l False Output As
l True Output As
l Unknown Output As
|
Boolean
|
Strings output based on matching strings specified in the False Value Match List and True Value Match List.
|
Yes
|
|
l False Value Match List
l True Value Match List
|
Boolean
|
Semicolon-separated lists of values. If the field value matches a string specified in the False Value Match List, the string specified in the False Output As property is output; likewise for values that match those specified in the True Value Match List.
If there are no matches with either the false or true match lists, the value specified in the Unknown Output As property is output.
|
Yes

|
BCD,
Byte, Comp3,
Double, Float, Integer, Long, Number, Short,
Zoned
|
Scales a number by moving the decimal point. Use a positive value to move the decimal point to the left; use a negative value to move the decimal point to the right. To enter a scaling factors from 10
-16 to 10
16, just enter the exponent value.
Example: Entering an exponent of 3 will cause any numbers to be multiplied by 1000 (10
3) before being output to XML.
|
Yes

Separator
|
Date,
Time

All
|
Whether to output the current row value as a child element or attribute of the <row> element. The default is element. If this field is set to True, components and subcomponents within that value are not recognized, so the entire field is used as the attribute value, instead of being broken up.
