Problem:

Release 4.0:

How can an XML file be created without NAMESPACE and XMLNS attributes?

Resolution:

If your SELECT statement  contains the clause: DOCUMENT-TYPE "dummy.xsd"

and your XD contains:

       01 Support identified "Support"

                 NAMESPACE "http://www.microfocus.com/Support"

You get:

<Support xmlns="http://www.microfocus.com/Support" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.microfocus.com/Support dummy.xsd">

    <Person Job="Supporter">Harald Cordes</Person>

</Support>

The DOCUMENT-TYPE clause is optional since some updates and can be left out.

If your compiler (XML preprocessor) installation still requires a DOCUMENT-TYPE, please update it.

The NAMESPACE clause is optional.

If you Leave both, you can get the root element without any attribute:

<Support>

    <Person Job="Supporter">Harald Cordes</Person>

</Support>
