For whatever reason, I couldn't get the "xmlserialize(xmlagg(xmltext()))"
part to work:
"xmltext(trim def1)||' ')"
wouldn't give me anything but error messages, and if I took out the "||'
'", it gave me garbage.
I ended up implementing what I needed as an external UDF, in ILE RPG.
Took me longer to remember how to implement UDFs in RPG (answer: look up
Scott Klement's instructions,
<
https://www.scottklement.com/presentations/#RPGUDF>
than it took to actually do it.
Incidentally, for quite a few minutes, I was tearing my hair out trying to
figure out why slide 22 (bottom half of page 11) of the PDF wouldn't also
work in a STRSQL session, (it kept giving messages in the vein of "FOO in
*LIBL type *N not found"), before I shrugged, and tried testing it with the
actual field it was designed to be applied to, in a real query of the real
file, and found that it worked perfectly.
