| Getting Started with the XML Engine |
When you transfer
an XML document across environments (for example
using FTP), you must be aware of the document's content in order to determine
the appropriate transfer mode. If the document contains either an encoding
attribute in the XML declaration or if a byte order mark precedes the XML
declaration, transfer the file in binary mode. If the document contains neither
criteria and you are transferring the document across similar hosts, transfer
the file in text mode.
When you export an XML document using the XML engine, by default, the
XML document contains an encoding attribute in the XML declaration from the
SAS data set's encoding (for example, <?xml
version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>). You
can override the SAS data set's encoding when you export the XML document
by specifying the XMLENCODING= LIBNAME statement option.
