Conversion of obsolete CDML variable tags
Here’s how the CDML Converter handles the conversion of the following obsolete CDML variable tags:
Conversion of supported CDML variable tags
Note Here’s how the CDML Converter handles the conversion of the following supported CDML variable
tags:
–dbnames –dbnames
–layoutnames –layoutnames
–scriptnames –scriptnames
This obsolete
CDML variable tag Is replaced with this comment after the original variable tag location
–errorfmtfield <!-- CDML Converter ERROR: '–errorfmtfield' not supported by XSLT-CWP -->
–fmtfield <!-- CDML Converter ERROR: '–fmtfield' not supported by XSLT-CWP -->
–format A comment is not inserted. Instead, the URL to the format file is converted to the new
URL syntax to refer to the converted XSLT stylesheet name
–mailbcc <!-- CDML Converter ERROR: '–mailbcc' not supported by XSLT-CWP, use fmxslt:send_email()
function -->
–mailcc <!-- CDML Converter ERROR: '–mailcc' not supported by XSLT-CWP, use fmxslt:send_email()
function -->
–mailfmtfield <!-- CDML Converter ERROR: '–mailfmtfield' not supported by XSLT-CWP, use
fmxslt:send_email() function -->
–mailformat <!-- CDML Converter ERROR: '–mailformat' not supported by XSLT-CWP, use fmxslt:send_email()
function -->
–mailfrom <!-- CDML Converter ERROR: '–mailfrom' not supported by XSLT-CWP, use fmxslt:send_email()

This CDML variable
tag
Is converted to this
XSLT-CWP query parameter Description
–db –db no change to syntax; all occurrences of .fp5 filename
extension are removed
–lay –lay no change to syntax
–lop –lop no change to syntax; the “and” and “or” keywords are
changed to lowercase
