## Procedures

- `Initialize()`
- `SetCurrentRec(RecVariant: Variant)`

- `SetNodeModificationAllowed(AuditFileExportDataType: Enum "Audit File Export Data Type")`
- `SetAdditionalParams(var Params: Dictionary of [Text, Text])`
- `CreateRootWithNamespace(RootNodeName: Text)`
- `AddNewXmlNode(NodeName: Text; NodeText: Text)`
- `AppendXmlNode(NodeName: Text; NodeText: Text)`
- `AppendXmlNodeEmptyContentAllowed(NodeName: Text; NodeText: Text)`

- `GetXmlEscapeCharsAdditionalLength(NodeText: Text): Integer`

Plus 9 local procedures.

## Calls

From the extracted call graph of BC29 (graphify-al on the snapshot checkout): calls whose target is known from a declared type or an `Object::"Name"` argument. Interface dispatch and calls through events are not counted, so the list is not complete.

- [Codeunit 4100 "Temp Blob"](../codeunit/4100.md) (1 call: `WriteXmlDocToTempBlob → CreateOutStream`)
- [Codeunit 6224 "XML DOM Management"](../codeunit/6224.md) (1 call: `Initialize → GetUTF8BOMSymbols`)

## Called by

- [Codeunit 5289 "Generate File SAF-T"](../codeunit/5289.md) (217 calls: `ExportAddress → AddNewXmlNode`, `ExportAddress → AppendXmlNode`, `ExportAddress → FinalizeXmlNode`, …)

## Across versions

- Present in: BC29-30
- Changed (declaration) in: none

Source: AL metadata extracted from the code (names, ids, signatures, properties); no code bodies (D10).

## Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). The call sections above are our own, per object, from the BC29 call graph. For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: `bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "codeunit", object_name: "Xml Helper SAF-T")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
