Just to clarify my question a bit.

Here is the portion of xsd that I'm dealing:
<xsd:complexType name="PaymentInformationType">
<xsd:choice>
<xsd:element name="Prepaid" type="PrepaidType"
minOccurs="0"/>
<xsd:element name="BillThirdParty"
type="BillThirdPartyType" minOccurs="0"/>
<xsd:element name="FreightCollect"
type="FreightCollectType" minOccurs="0"/>
<xsd:element name="ConsigneeBilled"
type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0"/>
</xsd:choice>
</xsd:complexType>

In my RPG program, depending on the shipment method selected on the
order, it will determine which child element to used when creating the
PaymentInformation tag. My question is how should I create the template
to handle creating above xml using tools in CGIDEV2?

If I create the template as below:
<PaymentInformation>
/%paymentType%/ ==>
</PaymentInformation>


I would have to code it like below in RPG (Not pretty):
If order.paymentType = 'PRP';
updHtmlVar('paymentType'
:'<Prepaid>'
'<BillShipper>' +
'<AccountNumber>' +
%trim(shipperAct#) +
'</AccountNumber>' +
'</BillShipper>' +
:'</Prepaid>'
. . .
. . .


wrtSection('myXMLSec');




Note: here is the prepaidType definition:

<xsd:complexType name="PrepaidType">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="BillShipper"
type="BillShipperType"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="BillShipperType">
<xsd:choice>
<xsd:element name="AccountNumber"
type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xsd:element name="CreditCard"
type="CreditCardType" minOccurs="0"/>
</xsd:choice>
</xsd:complexType>

How does one normally handle optional xml tag when using CGIDEV2 to
create the xml data?

should I do something like below?

Template:
/$myXMLSec
<Order>
/%myOptTag%/
</Order>



RPG code:
updHtmlVar('myOptTag' :'<MyOptTag>blah blah blah</MyOptTag>');
wrtSection('myXMLSec');




Or is there a better way of handling this?

thanks
