XMLEDIT primary command

The XMLEDIT primary command starts a new ISPF editor session, in edit mode, for an XML document. The Db2® object being processed must contain an XML column.

The command is cursor sensitive. Type the command, move the cursor to the XML column of interest and press Enter. An ISPF editor session, in edit mode, for the XML column at the cursor position is displayed.

Note: Do not use the SAVE command in am XMLEDIT session because the XML data will not be updated in the Db2 table.

The command can also be issued without cursor positioning, in which case parameters may be required:
