Re: COBOL output to XML file

--
My initial suggestion is to use API's to do this.  I have read stream files on 
the IFS with API's so I am sure that they exist to write them as well.  The IBM 
Info Center would be the place to check.

I'm trying code a COBOL program that generates an XML
file.

The COBOL program WRITEs to a physical file or source
file member, then I transfer the file to a PC text
file.  I've used the Client Access Express transfer
function, the copy to stream file (CPYTOSTMF) command
and the copy to PC document (CPYTOPCD) command.  In
each case, an end-of-file label is added to the text
file. The end-of-file label makes the XML file
ill-formed. (Deleting the end-of-file label with a
text editor makes the XML file well-formed.)

Can I WRITE directly to a PC text file from COBOL400?
Or can I set up a translation table that does not add
an end-of-file label to the PC text file?

Thanks for any insights.

Kelly
