Hi,

In AX 2012 I try to create an XML file and I want to set the encoding but don’t get it to work.

This is the code I use:

static void Job31(Args _args)

{

XmlDocument xmlDoc;

XMLWriter xmlWriter;

XmlWriterSettings xmlWriterSettings;

Filename filename = strFmt( "\\temp\\%1.xml", "encodingtest_ISO-8859-1" );

#define.encoding('ISO-8859-1');

xmlDoc = XmlDocument::newBlank();

xmlWriterSettings = new XmlWriterSettings();

xmlWriterSettings.encoding( #encoding );

xmlWriter = XMLWriter::newFile( filename, xmlWriterSettings );

xmlDoc.writeTo( xmlWriter );

xmlWriter.close();

}

And this is the result:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Anyone knows how to get ‘ISO-8859-1’ as encoding?

Thanks

Gunnar

i revised the code for you, it seems to do what you need:

static void Job31(Args _args)

{

XmlDocument xmlDoc;

XMLWriter xmlWriter;

XmlWriterSettings xmlWriterSettings;

XmlDeclaration xmldecl;

XmlElement root;

Filename filename = strFmt( "\\temp\\%1.xml", "encodingtest_ISO-8859-1" );

#define.encoding('ISO-8859-1');

xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();//XmlDocument::newBlank();

xmlWriterSettings = new XmlWriterSettings();

xmldecl = xmlDoc.CreateXmlDeclaration("1.0",#encoding,'');

root = xmlDoc.documentElement();

xmlDoc.insertBefore(xmldecl, root);

//xmlWriterSettings.encoding( #encoding );

xmlWriter = XMLWriter::newFile( filename, xmlWriterSettings );

xmlDoc.writeTo( xmlWriter );

xmlWriter.close();

}

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. I get 'UTF-8'.

that is quite strange, try to create a new job and export to a new file name just for double check. it must work, ax here is using a standard c# object and this is how it works according to the documentation.
