1 If a CDML request does not specify a –max query parameter for a –find or –findall query command, the
CDML Converter adds –max=25 to the converted XSLT request. The CDML Converter uses the value 25
to create the same behavior as the original CDML request in which 25 records are returned if the –max
query parameter is not specified. Note that this behavior has changed in XML or XSLT requests; if the –max
query parameter is not specified in an XML or XSLT request, all records are returned. See
“–max
(Maximum records) query parameter” on page 85.
1 If a conversion error occurs, the CDML Converter inserts an error comment into the converted stylesheet
immediately after the element where the error occurred. You are required to manually fix errors in the
stylesheet. An error comment has the following format:
<!-- CDML Converter ERROR: <description of error> -->
1 If a conversion warning occurs, the CDML Converter inserts a warning comment into the converted
stylesheet immediately after the element where the cause of the warning occurred. You are not required to
fix warnings in the stylesheet, but you should investigate them to prevent other errors. A warning comment
has the following format:
<!-- CDML Converter WARNING: <description of warning> -->
1 The CDML Converter removes CDML action and variable tags that are obsolete from URLs, and inserts an
error comment in the stylesheet where they are removed. See “Conversion of obsolete CDML action tags,”
and “Conversion of obsolete CDML variable tags.”
1 The CDML Converter does not convert the obsolete –mail variable tags (such as –mailto and –mailfrom).
See “Conversion of obsolete CDML variable tags” on page 104. To replace the email functionality provided
by the –mail variable tags, use an fmxslt:send_email () extension function. See “Sending email messages from
the Web Publishing Engine” on page 61.
1 If a <form> element with an action parameter ending in fmpro does not contain a –format <input> element,
the CDML Converter inserts the following error comment:
<!-- CDML Converter ERROR: parameter '-format' not found -->.
Conversion of the –error and –errornum CDML variable tags
The CDML Converter converts the CDML –error and –errornum tags into token values. For example, in this
original URL:
fmpro?-db=employees&-format=format.htm&-error=error.htm&-errnum=401&-view
the –error tag is converted to –token.error, and the –errnum tag is converted to –token.errnum. The converted
XSLT-CWP URL is:
format.xsl?-db=employees&-token.error=error.xsl&-token.errnum=401&-view
