Usually, when an application is built, and the output format of that application is XML and ASCII - does this mean that these outputs are already built into the application? or are they auto generated when the report is needed?
the reason I ask is, I am trying to see if a software application can be modified to put out a specific standard of XML, since the current XML output is not what is required. And to do this, does it take alot of work? or just building a translator is more than enough?
I apologize if I sound ignorant.. but Im not computer programmer :p
