Dennis, There are a few options, a lot depends on what you are trying to do and what you are trying to parse. You might look at www.alphaworks.ibm.com and get their procedural parser. That parser is somewhat dated and based on an older version of the Xerces c++ parser. Alternatively, you could use a Java-based solution. There are a lot to choose from, again a lot depends on the level of support, speed, etc. required by your application. Xerces is the most popular and is has the latest support. You can find out more at xml.apache.org. Not sure how easy it is to work with Java from Cobol, but from RPGIV it is pretty easy, especially if you are on V5R1. Because Xerces is the Swiss Army knife of parsers, you pay more in resources and complexity. Other options are JDOM, which is fairly new and not yet complete, AElfred, which is fast but not complete, and XML4J, which is IBM's version of Xerces. There are a lot of other parsers that fit niche needs. Some are not being supported so be careful.

Possibly via MQ-series? We are on v4r5. Thanks Dennis Nel
