RE: COBOL output to XML file

["Cousino, Alexis" <acousino@xxxxxxxx>]

You can do it with a sequel.  Just create a view with the from file on the 
AS400.  In a CL execute the view.

ie:  execute view(fromlib/fromfile) toflr(topcfolder) todoc(topcdoc.txt) 
replace(*yes)

Subject: COBOL output to XML file


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
