<div><p>The RecordFormatDocument class enables your Java™ programs
to convert between RFML representations of data and Record and RecordFormat
objects for use with other IBM<sup>®</sup> Toolbox for Java components.</p>
<div class="section"><p><a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/data/RecordFormatDocument.html">RecordFormatDocument class</a> </p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>The RecordFormatDocument class represents an RFML source file,
and it provides methods that allow your Java program to perform the following actions:</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><ul><li>Compose RFML source files from Record objects, RecordFormat objects, and
byte arrays</li>
<li>Generate Record objects, RecordFormat objects, and byte arrays that represent
the information that the RecordFormatDocument object contains</li>
<li>Get and set the values of different objects and data types</li>
<li>Generate XML (RFML) that represents the data that the RecordFormatDocument
object contains</li>
<li>Serialize the RFML source file that the RecordFormatDocument object represents</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>For more information about the available methods, see the javadoc <a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/data/RecordFormatDocument.html#METHOD_SUMMARY">method summary</a> for the RecordFormatDocument class.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p><strong>Using the RecordFormatDocument class with other IBM Toolbox for Java classes</strong></p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>Use the RecordFormatDocument class with the following IBM Toolbox for Java classes:</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><ul><li>Record-oriented classes, which include the record-level access file classes
(AS400File, SequentialFile, and KeyedFile) that read, manipulate, and write
Record objects. This category also includes the LineDataRecordWriter class.</li>
<li>Byte-oriented classes, which include certain DataQueue, UserSpace, and
IFSFile classes that read and write a byte-array of data at a time.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>Do not use RecordFormatDocument class with the following IBM Toolbox for Java classes,
which read and write data in forms that RecordFormatDocument does not handle:</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><ul><li>The DataArea classes because the read and write methods deal only with
String, boolean, and BigDecimal data types.</li>
<li>IFSTextFileInputStream and IFSTextFileOutputStream because these read
and write methods deal only with String.</li>
<li>JDBC classes because RFML focuses only on data described by the iSeries™ <a href="rfmlmain.htm#rfmlmain__dds">data description specification (DDS)</a>. </li>
</ul>
