Re: XML processing from a field -- RPG400-L

Mike

I believe there is a basic problem with your setup - the names of the data structure and its subfields must match elements and tags of the XML.

I cannot find "xmlds" anywhere in the XML, not "domain" by itself as a tag or attribute. Same for "instance".

Seems you need a data structure named "GPCodedValueDomain2" with subfields "DomainName", "FieldType", "MergePolicy", and "SplitPolicy". And a nested data structure subfield named "CodedValues" that is a LIKEDS of one with an array with "CodedValue" and "Code" in it somehow - this is murky and I'm not going to take time to work it out.

Looking at the docs....

Assuming your XML character variable is named XMLDATA, you should have

xml-into output %XML(xmldata : 'doc=string');

I have never had occasion to process xml before, so this is completely
new to me. I don't think that the way I'm being asked to get and
parse the data is the norm.
I found an article http://www.itjungle.com/fhg/fhg080415-story01.html
example (XMLINTOB1) that has code that appears to do something
similar to I what I want to do, but I'm not having any luck.

I am reading a file on SQL SERVER from an ESRI table.
It appears that there is a field that contains XML data.
I have read the file and loaded the data into a character field.

When I run the XML-INTO I get an error code of 302 which says that the
xml document was not an external file. Which of course its not.

Below is a snippet of data . I'm not sure if it is the complete
contents of the field, but hopefully it is enough to indicate what I'm looking at.
<GPCodedValueDomain2 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";

Can I process the xml from a field? If so, what is causing the 302
error?
Any guidance on how to accomplish this is appreciated.
