Ray,

Have you considered using a parser to generate the XML? It should take care of 
translation for you. If you want to do this in RPG, you'll need the XML Toolkit 
for iSeries (5733-XT1). You could, of course, do this in Java but that's a 
discussion for another list.

Subject: special characters issue in xml


Hello All,

Is there a way to retrive the decimal and/or hex value of a character?
Can we scan the text in a record and check for  special characters like  , 
line feed,
carriage return?
I think decimal values 32 thru 126 represent valid/most widely used 
characters.
How can we retrieve the decimal value of the characters (dec value <32 and 
 >126)?
Is there a way to identify these special characters while reading a text 
record?

I need to take care of these special characters for an xml document upload.
Since we replace & with a &amp; in xml document, all the special characters 
need
to be converted to xml standard so that the xml parser can read the data.

Thank you all in advance.

Ray
