There are no parsing errors received using the %HANDLER. I do convert the

When you use %HANDLER, you get the data within the handler procedure not in a data structure. The "path" option refers to the path within the XML document to get to the repeating data that you want. Most likely you'd code 'path=PO/ChangePODetail'. You'd code your handler procedure to expect an array of LIKEDS(ChangePODetail).

I think these are the changes you need to get started.

XML-INTO %HANDLER(ProcessPO : PCount)
chg %XML(xmlfile : 'path=PO/POChanges case=any +
allowmissing=yes allowextra=yes +
doc=file');


* Handler Routine
p ProcessPO b
D PI 10i 0
D POCount 10i 0
chg D POds likeds(ChangePODetail)
D dim(2) Const
D elements 10i 0 value

D i s 10i 0

for i to %elem(POds);
//do something;
endfor;
Return 0;
