Re: XML Processing

[M.Effenberg@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

yep, expat rocks. 
It's much faster than the original IBM xml toolkit or the IBM supplied 
java parsers.

And it's easy to code.
see http://www.myangel0ne.de/code/ (german comments :) )
With this program I wrote around 500k records yesterday to my outfile 
without any problems.

I get the xml data from an ifs file, but parsing a string with xml data in 
it is even easier:

§§parm2=%trim(§§parm2);
if (XML_Parse(p:§§parm2:%len(%trim(§§parm2)):+
    done)=XML_STATUS_ERROR);
   dietxt='Parse error at line '
          + %char(XML_GetCurrentLineNumber(p)) + ': '
          + %str(XML_ErrorString(XML_GetErrorCode(p)));
endif;

It's the same, but without the read() stuff.
You should look at scotts examples, they provide you all information you 
need.

Sorry I read the question wrong if you need to read a XML document I use 
Expat with Scotts Service Programs and it works great!!!!

Check out Scotts Site and iSeriesNetwork because he did some great Club 
Tech iSeries Programming Tips... I think it was in two parts...  Works 
great we average about 50 to 60 XML transactions sent to our iSeries that 
are parsed just fine!

Thanks-john
