This one of the 4 options, that you can set for fragment processing in Spool2XML.The value selected affects the output XML file generated from the standard XML spooled file.

With the value 0=Ignore fragment processing the output XML file is the the same as the input XML file with these things in mind:

1.Even though fragment is not activated you should still take care not to define a field to be key-field unless fragment is activated om the record format containing the field. If you do, then you will see an error.

2.As you notice some header record formats of the printer file may be repeated a lot of times, and that is also the case in the output XML file.

3.The key options  D=Delete and T=Top are only supported for 3=Treebuilder - it is ignored for 0=Ignore fragment processing.

4.The parent/child option on record formats: 1=Single child is only supported for 3=Treeebuilder, and is ignored for 0=Ignore fragment processing.

5.If you want to reduce the size of the output XML file you can either activate the unique option on some record formats or consider even the fragment option 3=Treebuilder.

6.You can also consider to move to 1=Single fragments file to reduce the size of the XML file a bit.

7.It is possible to split up the output XML file into multiple XML files with 2=Multiple fragment files.
