Automatically generate...	Automatically generate, and load, an XML document sample when you load a DTD/XSD. The XML document is stored as a temporary file, and will be removed when you exit the XMLIN tool.
Validate instance document...	Automatically validate all XML samples that you load.
Save samples on exit	Save loaded samples and DTDs/XSDs when you exit the XMLIN tool. Not applicable to automatically generated XML documents.
Filter input before opening sample	Select to filter the sample file before opening the sample in the XMLIN tool. If the sample is a *.xsf, *.xdf, or *.xdf2 file (SAP connectivity pack only), the XSF, XDF, or XDF2 filter is used. In the filter, you must specify the appropriate filter parameters. If the sample is any other type of file, you must use a custom filter executable, e.g. a Pearl script. The External filter is launched when you open the sample file, and in this filter you must specify the external command to use. This command is either the full path to the filter executable, or the name of the filter executable if this executable is included in the Path environment variable.
