        Albert,

        Take a look at http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/xml4rpg. If you
use the example that inserts data, you'll need take a look at
http://www-919.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/developer/java/xml/documents/
xml_rpg.html which is a white paper describing how it works.

        I will warn you that the above example isn't the easiest thing to
understand at first since it is a ported Java app. I had to run it in debug
a bunch of times and use the white paper as a reference to figure it out.
Once you get the hang of it, it's really not all that bad.

        If you decide to use this as a basis for a real program, there's a
few variables that are ALLOC'd and not DEALLOC'd which will cause it to
crash intermittently if you call it in a loop. Also, the vector stuff in the
example only returns the first 50 characters of an XML path. The source for
it is there so you can bump it up to whatever you like.

        I did use this example as a basis for a program we're using now and
I was able to get it to process about 5mb of XML in about 10 seconds during
testing on the 620 we had at the time.

        Does anyone have an example of an RPG  program that does XML parsing
that
        they would be willing to share?

        TIA.
