Re: New XML Project

["Gary McDowell" <Gary.McDowell@xxxxxxxx>]

I know what its like to be put on an XML project with no XML experience.  
I tried 2 RPG-XML products, Krengel Tech's RPG-XML Suite and PATownsend's XM/400.  I found that XML/400 was easier to work with.  All you have to do is create an incoming and/or outgoing map, then populate the DB2/400 database files and then run a command or two.

My project involved creating an XML file to send to a partner to check for ECS compliance and then receiving a response XML file, parsing the response XML file to DB2/400 database files.  Then reading those files into a program and holding orders based on the response.

I am being put on a new project with the client which involves XML and
processing payments from their website.  Nothing like being put on a project
for stuff I have never used.  I can learn, however.  I'm sure my RPG
knowledge will aid them in this endeavour.

I ordered the XML book from Midrange Press and it will be waiting for me
when I arrive home on Friday afternoon.  Until then, where can I go for an
overview of XML with RPG on the i5?
