Escape Character Type (Node Property of Flat File Schemas)
Use the Escape Character Type property to configure, on a per-record basis, how an alternative escape character will be expressed in the Escape Character property and in the underlying XSD representation, or whether the default escape character will be used.
Applies to Nodes of Type
Category
Flat File
Allowed Values
| Drop-down list choice | Description |
|---|---|
| Character | Indicates that you will provide an escape character as a character in the Escape Character property, which will be formatted as a character in the XSD representation of the schema. |
| Hexadecimal | Indicates that you will provide the hexadecimal value ("0xNN") of an escape character in the Escape Character property, which will be formatted as a hexadecimal value in the XSD representation of the schema. |
| Default Escape Character | Use this value if you want to use the default escape character for the entire schema, as established by the Default Escape Character property of the Schema node. |
| None | Removes the corresponding annotation in the XSD representation of the schema, if any, specifying that there is no escape character defined for this Record node. The Escape Character property should not be set to any value when this property is set to None. |
Default Value
None, resulting in no annotation being added to the XSD representation of the schema.
XSD Persistence
As the value of the escape_char_type (="char", "hex", or "default") attribute of the element/annotation/appinfo/recordInfo annotation element.
Remarks
You can examine and set this property in the Visual Studio Properties window when you select a Record node (including a root Record node) in BizTalk Editor and you have configured the Flat File Extension option for the Schema Editor Extensions property of the Schema node.
If you configure this property with a value of Character or Hexadecimal, then you can configure the Escape Character property in one of these two formats.
