attr = %XML_ATTR_CREATE
Return value
attr
The XML attribute instance created, or 0 if not successful. (XML_ATTR_TYPE)
Discussion
An XML attribute is a characteristic of an XML element. For example, an attribute of a field element might be name or size.
Most of the time it is easier to use %XML_ELEM_SETATTRIBUTE, which defines an attribute’s name and value and assigns the attribute to an XML element, rather than %XML_ATTR_CREATE. If you create an attribute with %XML_ATTR_CREATE, you must also set its name and value with %XML_ATTR_SETNAME and %XML_ATTR_SETVALUE and then add it to an element’s attribute list using %XML_ATTRLIST_ADD.
Attributes explicitly created with this routine and not added as data to a parent element will need to be deleted using %XML_ATTR_DELETE.
This function is defined as ^VAL.
