Re: XML PARSE AND XML GENERATE

Hi Jeff,

I think this post would be more appropriate in the COBOL list. Anyway, I
believe you have the right idea. The file needs to be read considering
the CCSID. Carlos Balestrazzi wrote an article on reading files in the
IFS. It's on the System i Network at:
http://www.systeminetwork.com/artarchive/newsletter/w/1001/a/54056/index.html

I don't recall if the APIs used implicitly deal with the CCSID. If you
are still puzzled, I would recommend posting this on a COBOL list or
forum.

subject: [WDSCI-L] XML PARSE AND XML GENERATE

Has anyone had any success using the XML PARSE and XML GENERATE commands

you can use in ILE COBOL or RPG and using the parser that is in the Xml
Toolkit? I have issues with pulling in an XML file from the IFS because

it comes in all jibberish. I get the XML PARSE to work when I just code

the XML data into the ILE COBOL program, but am missing something when
pulling in from IFS. I think it has something to do with CODE PAGE

CCSID

that I use from what I read (don't quite understand the CCSID).

Thanks,
