Yeah that might work. Thing is we need to first get it into a DB2 table
to work with it. Then after that export it as a CSV. So we need to
actually create DDS or create the file with SQL then populate it from
what the customer is sending.

I was thinking that you could skip having the DB2 table. That the COBOL program could just read the flat file and use the program-described record layout. Then you could generate the CSV from the XML.
