Output Payload Formatting

By default, SSC delimits each line in the <Payload> element with a line feed character, hexadecimal 0A. This is for performance reasons. In the Windows operating system default of delimiting lines in text files (XML files are text files) with a carriage return and line feed character (hexadecimal 0A0D). In XML-aware applications, such as Internet Explorer or XMLSpy, each element is displayed on a separate line. In contrast, Notepad or WordPad presents all lines as a continuous stream of text.

You can override the default from Configuration Manager (CGM). Select SSC > Export > Format generated XML and select Yes to format generated XML with tabs. Select No to leave unformatted. If this value is set to Yes, SSC delimits each line in the <Payload> element with a carriage return and line feed character. Notepad or WordPad displays any payloads run subsequently with each element shown on a separate line. You can still view the text in XML-aware applications, e.g. Internet Explorer or XMLSpy.
