format and eXtensible Markup Language (XML) format, is there any problem with maintaining subject data files in both formats?
No, there isn’t a problem with maintaining import files in different formats. The IQRS , located on the Data Banks home page, supports the import of subject data in both formats (fixed-width and XML) and has provided users the ability to select the format(s) they use. The Data Banks recommend that users import via the XML format because of the enhanced capabilities XML provides. • When importing subjects into my Integrated Querying and Reporting Service (IQRS) subject database, what is the advantage of using eXtensible Markup Language (XML) format over fixed-width format? The XML import format offers several advantages over the fixed-width format. XML format enables users to add, update, and delete both individual and organization subjects, whereas the fixed-width format only allows users to add individual practitioners to their IQRS subject database. Users may not update or delete practitioners using fixed-width and they may not import organizational subjects using fixed-width format.
