Hi Mike,

The data isn't human-readable because the data in the 'Buff' variable is either ASCII or Unicode (which is the norm with XML data -- and is required by Expat.)

The output from Expat to your RPG subprocedures (the start, end, and chardata handlers) should be in UCS-2 unicode, easy to read and work with from your RPG program.

Are you just curious about the Buff variable? Or is it causing a problem for you?

Hello List,

I have a request to parse a XML file in a rpg program. Iâm experimenting with the expat parser I downloaded from Scott Klementâs website (great stuff!!) to parse a XML file from the ifs. Iâm using the sample program (CHARDATA1) from the download â pretty straight forward. When I run the program and put it in debug, after the code:
len = read(fd: %addr(Buff): %size(Buff));
I check the Buff variable and I see garbage â I canât make out the xml. Iâve tried several xml files and all display the same. Has anyone had a similar problem using the expat parser? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
