LIBNAME XMLv2 with XMLMap Option Creating Empty Dataset

craig159753 — Wed, 10 Mar 2021 10:45:10 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to understand the XMLV2 LIBNAME engine. I have got the code to work with a custom XML map, but the dataset is empty.

My XML file:

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

            </CodeList>
        </MetaDataVersion>
    </Study>
</ODM>

This is my XML map:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SXLEMAP version="1.2" name="SXLEMAP">
  <TABLE name="EnumeratedItem">
    <TABLE-DESCRIPTION>Terminology EnumeratedItem</TABLE-DESCRIPTION>
    <TABLE-PATH syntax="XPath">
      /ODM/Study/MetaDataVersion/CodeList/EnumeratedItem
    </TABLE-PATH>
    <COLUMN name="CL_NAME">
      <PATH syntax="XPath">/ODM/Study/MetaDataVersion/CodeList/@OID</PATH>
      <TYPE>character</TYPE>
      <DATATYPE>string</DATATYPE>
      <LENGTH>100</LENGTH>
    </COLUMN>
  </TABLE>
</SXLEMAP>

When I look at the IN library, I see the EnumeratedItems dataset, but it is empty. The log is clean, so not sure what I am missing.

This is the SAS code used

filename in_map "C:\Documents\Example.map";

libname in xmlv2 "C:\Documents\Example.xml" xmlmap=in_map;

Hi @JosvanderVelden

Thanks for getting back to me, oddly this partially worked. I only get one table out "EnumeratedItem", however looking at the map you provided I have a few questions
1. What about the other tables defined in the map, where are they? (GlobalVariables, MetadataVersion, CodeList, etc.)

2. How do you control the column names in the tables, e.g. the column names in the EnumeratedItem are called CL_NAME, CL_LABEL, CL_CODE, etc.

Thanks

Craig

You can read these papers to get to know the basics of the SAS XML Mapper:
https://www.lexjansen.com/mwsug/2011/sas101/MWSUG-2011-S107.pdf
https://www.lexjansen.com/nesug/nesug10/ff/ff14.pdf

To download the XM Mapper and try it yourself use: https://support.sas.com/downloads/index.htm#anc_S. Select the latest version or if you already have sas installed choose the version that has the same release as your sas installation.

I tested with the following code and see all tables:
filename in_map "/home/jvelden0/SASCommunities/example.map";
libname in xmlv2 "/home/jvelden0/SASCommunities/example.xml" xmlmap=in_map;
filename in_map2 "/home/jvelden0/SASCommunities/example2.map";
libname in2 xmlv2 "/home/jvelden0/SASCommunities/example.xml" xmlmap=in_map2;
Note: your map-file is example.map; example2.map is the one created by SAS XML Mapper.

Best regards, Jos
