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 1=Single fragments file the output XML file is the the same as the input XML file with these things in mind:

1.You should 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.You need to define a record format to have the fragment option activated, and inside of that record format a field must be selected as a key field, if that is not defined, then only the jobinformation XML subtree is included in the output XML file.

3.The size of the output XML file is reduced in size compared to 0=Ignore fragment processing.

4.There is only one XML node for the fragment record format with each unique value of the key field. The other fields (for all duplicates of the fragment record format), and other record formats are inserted inside the fragment node in the XML file. If a record format is defined as being parent, then it will however be a parent of the fragment record format.

5.The key options  D=Delete and T=Top are only supported for 3=Treebuilder - it is ignored for 1=Single fragments file.

6.The parent/child option on record formats: 1=Single child is only supported for 3=Treeebuilder, and is ignored for1=Single fragments file.

7.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.

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