mapping-table

A mapping table consists of a top level <mapping-table> that contains a set of <col-def> elements and a set of <row> elements. A <col-def> defines the name of each column and the type that it contains. A <row> consists of a set of <col> elements. DirXML Script uses <token-map> to map a value using a specified key column to a different value or values in a specified value column. A given key column map to multiple rows and therefore multiple values from the value column can be specified.

Example

<mapping-table>
   <col-def name="dept" type="nocase"/>
   <col-def name="code" type="nocase"/>
   <col-def name="location" type="nocase"/>

      <col>Engineering</col>
