Input

This adapter expects an adapter-specific input XML structure. Each <program> element corresponds to a program, each <data> element therein defines a field, and each <structure> element can serve as a data structure element or an argument for a program:

<pcml version="1.0">
   <program>
      <data></data>
      <struct>
          <data></data>
      </struct>
   </program>
</pcml>

Output

The successfully executed PCML adapter returns an XML document with the following pattern:

<pcml>
   <program_name>
      <data_values></data_values>
      <struct_name1></struct_name1>
   </program_name>
</pcml>
