Re: Good way to identify malformed XML?

[Jerry Draper <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Depends on where you are.

In our case we download using sFTP and Python on the IFS so that's where 
we edit the .xml.

If you are already in the db2 side of the world then embedding into RPG 
is probably the way to go.
