Tree (ExceptionList) serialization (BLOB) in LocalEnvironment using ESQL ASBITSTREAM FUNCTION

gistfile1.sql

-- Create a folder "ExceptionList" in the LocalEnvironment tree. This Folder will hold the BLOB representation of the ExceptionList
SET OutputLocalEnvironment.Variables.BitStream.Info = 'exceptionList'; 
 -- Define a XML parser element to be used to serialize the ExceptionList into bitstream
CREATE LASTCHILD OF OutputLocalEnvironment.Variables.BitStream DOMAIN('XMLNSC') NAME 'XMLNSC';
-- Attach or create the tree that has to be serialized under the XML parser element. here it is the ExceptionList
SET OutputLocalEnvironment.Variables.BitStream.XMLNSC.ExceptionList = InputExceptionList;
-- Create the BLOB representation of the ExceptinList using the function ASBITSTREAM
SET OutputLocalEnvironment.Variables.BitStream.BLOB = 
	ASBITSTREAM(OutputLocalEnvironment.Variables.BitStream.XMLNSC.ExceptionList OPTIONS FolderBitStream); 

This code shows how to serialize a tree into an XML.
It uses the ESQL function ASBITSTREAM.
