Hi Phil

I was able to get the XML4RPG to work.

For Java do you use VAJAVA ?B'coz I am having nightmares (ver 3.5) importing
Xerces.jar anyway I am going to use version 4 which I hope would avoid those
problems

Basically to understand XML parsers in general I learned from Microsoft
parsers which looked easy for me.You could have a look at
www.developeriq.com
and links to XML tutorials.It's simple.

That's the way they say having MAPADDRESS defined.Anyway did you try XML
Extender which comes with DB2 7.1.I think it takes care of the parsing and I
am going to try it and it's available for free download.

Regards
Rizwan

All,

I went through IBM's XML parser examples at
http://www.as400.ibm.com/developer/java/xml/documents/xml_rpg.html (RPG
version) and http://www.as400.ibm.com/developer/java/xml/db_xml.html (java
version) and by combining them I was able to get the java example working.

Their example requires you to have a file (MAPADDRESS in their example) with
the xml parentage defined and the column number in the target file
(ADDRESSBK).  Is that the right way to handle parsing XML?  Not only are you
maintaining a DTD, but you're maintaining a database file containing similar
info.

I'm interested to hear if anyone has done any xml parsing, and what your
thoughts are.  I will be starting a project soon where I may have a choice
between parsing a delimited flat file or an xml file.

Thanks for your input,

Phil
