RE: XML - Child Node value not retrieved correctly

[<SRamanujan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I found the problem.  The sample RPGLE program CREATEDOC & CREATEXML
that comes with XML4PR310 has a little bug, in the sense that it puts a
new carriage return after each tag.  There should be a new line only
after the end tag and not after the start tag.  When I removed this, the
read back and parser worked.

Thanks,
Sudha

Subject: XML - Child Node value not retrieved correctly

I am trying to read an XML document into an ile rpg.  I am getting all
the information correctly as far as the tag elements are concerned. But
when I come to the value portion, I get 1st char as garbage.  My code is
as follows:

IF        child = Qxml_HASCHILD                 
* Get the pointer if there is a child node
EVAL      ChlNodLst@ =                          
          QxmlDOM_Node_getChildNodes(NodLstPtr@)
EVAL      Nodeptr@ = QxmlDOM_Node_getFirstChild 
                     (NodLstPtr@)              
* Get the value of the child node              
EVAL      Domstrptr@ = QxmlDOM_Node_getNodeValue
                       (Nodeptr@)               
EVAL      childVal  = %str(                     
          QxmlDOMString_transcode(Domstrptr@))  

I think the DomStrprt@ is incorrect for some reason.  My xml document
looks something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" ?> 
- <Price>
  <Currency1>USD</Currency2> 
  <Currency2>GBP</Currency2>
  </Price>
The value of Currency1 element comes as '#USD' when moved to my field I
get '#US'.  In case of numeric field, this throws a decimal data error
of course.

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong here?

TIA,
Sudha
