How to create a DXL attribute using a DXL script?

Answer

You can achieve this by using one of the following methods. As a precaution, p lease try these steps on a test module before implementing them in production to ensure proper functioning in your particular configuration.

M ethod 1

string dxlname = "specify the code here"

AttrDef ad = create object type "Text" attribute "attribute name" dxl (dxlname)

Alternatively if you want to have the code in include file then you can use the following steps.

Method 2

AttrDef ad = create object type "Text" attribute "attribute name" dxl "#include <path to DXL file>"

For example:

**********************************************************

string mydxl="

pragma runLim, 0;

Buffer bsz = create;

void endAttributeDXL() {

    if (!null obj && attrDXLName != \"\")

    {

        obj.attrDXLName = richText tempStringOf(bsz);

    }

    delete bsz;

}

void display(string s) {

    bsz += s;

    bsz += \"\n\";

}

void displayRich(string s)

{

    bsz += s;

    bsz += \"\n\";

}

display \"Hello\";

endAttributeDXL();"

AttrDef ad = create object type "Text" attribute "Test" dxl (mydxl)
