Re: XML Question

Now number and street (ds table entries) are out of sync with attnline (ds table entries). We would want attnline(2) to load as blanks. However, it doesn't and it continues to read until it finds the next attnLine and loads into the next variable.

How do we get the table entries to be in synch?

This is really an RPG question Robert but ...

Your problem in part is that you are using multiple XML-INTOs - you should really only be using one with nested DS arrays for the repeatable elements. You've laid the DSs out correctly but then targeted them individually.

I've only taken a very quick look look but the DS for your structure should be something like this.

D Responses DS Qualified
D error
D resultCode
D responseMessage
D response LikeDS(response) Dim(MaxResponsePossible)

D response DS Qualified
D refNum
D requestID
D sucess
D error
D resultCode
D addressLine1 LikeDS(addressLine1) Dim(MaxAddressPossible)
D addressLine2 LikeDS(addressLine2) Dim(MaxAddressPossible)

D addressLine1 DS
D number
D street

D addressLine2 DS etc. etc.

The XML-INTO is then simply XML-INTO Responses. Or if the DS is too big that way you would have to do a separate XML-INTO with %Handler targeting the response DS would would then be DIM'd.

Is this an in-house XML doc design? It seems to me you still have a problem in that there is no formal correlation between addressLine1 and 2. Id' have expected an enclosing element of Address or something to "hold" the address lines. Without it you'd have to use XML-SAX I suspect to be able to match the line 1 and 2 data.

Please respond on RPG400 if you have more ?s
