Notes

Care should be taken in using RESPONSE_COLUMN. One of the purposes of an administration table is to have columns that are hidden from the clients. Using RESPONSE_COLUMN makes both the column name and the column values visible to clients.
Column names added through RESPONSE_COLUMN become "custom attributes" in METADATA_DATASET. For example, if you include RESPONSE_COLUMN columnname="service_running", then in addition to the extisting attributes in METADATA_DATASET, a new attribute named service_running will always be returned as part of METADATA_DATASET. Please note the following:
- If you are using a DTD, you must update METADATA_DATASET to account for these "custom attributes".
- You cannot use a column name that replicates any existing attribute in METADATA_DATASET.
Only one column name can be included in columnname. For adding multiple columns, use one REPONSE_COLUMN for each column.
This element is not available from the ArcIMS Author interface.
