Barbara,
My option is set to the following:

0011.02 Opts = 'doc=file case=any';

Once you get it working, you'll need to specify an option to allow fewer
values in the XML than you have in the RPG data structure.

I recommend that you use the countprefix option for this.

Assuming your data structure looks something like this:

* Untested, probably wrong columns
D pickups_t ds qualified template
D num_pickup 10i 0
D pickup 25a varying dim(100)

D loads ds qualified
D shipper 25a varying
D consignee 25a varying
D pickups likeds(pickups_t)

You can code your XML-INTO like this:
xml-into loads %xml(whatever : ' countprefix=num_');

for i = 1 to loads.pickups.num_pickup;
... process loads.pickups.pickup(i)
endfor;

If you currently don't have quite the right data structure, and your
XML-INTO isn't failing, then I'm guessing you are using option
'allowmissing=yes'. The countprefix option is a safer and more granular
way of specifying which subfields you want to allow to be missing.

You can also use it to allow non-array subfields to be missing. If you
wanted to allow the shipper value to be missing (for some strange
reason), then you would just add a num_shipper numeric subfield to your
data structure, and then it would just have a zero after the XML-INTO if
the shipper value wasn't in the XML.

By using countprefix, you have much less chance of having XML-INTO
"work" (complete without an exception, whether correctly or not) when
the RPG data structure doesn't really match the XML document structure.
