Re: Creating XML

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, Larry, looks like you've opened a big can of X-worms!

COBOL actually has stuff to convert data to XML format and even save to 
an IFS file, I believe - just did a quick look to see what is there. RPG 
can only read at this time with its op-codes.

Java has good support for this, as well. But I think, from talking with 
a colleague here, that you need to know what is the expected structure. 
Then you need some probably nested routines for the various nodes, which 
can varying multiple elements at the various levels.

And that's all I know on short notice!
