Re: COBOL File Specs to DDS or SQL

That's rude.

And with 4000 plus lines of file def we really need it to all be there. :-)

Thanks!

Rrrrr ... the devil is in the details for things like this.

I just tried having an outer subfield that has data that isn't defined
by the inner subfields, and it doesn't get into the generated XML. That
seems like a deal-breaker, unless your extra subfields always completely
define their containing subfields. But I guess figuring out whether
that's true puts you right back to your original problem.

1 rec.
2 s1 PIC X(10).
3 s1a pic X(3).
3 s1b pic X(3).

MOVE "EE1FF2ABCD" TO s1
XML GENERATE XMLRESULT FROM rec

The resulting XML doesn't have "ABCD".

<rec>
<s1>
<s1a>EE1</s1a>
<s1b>FF2</s1b>
</s1>
</rec>
