Re: Replace text in XML file

Why not use the xerces DOM API to load the data, change the node and output the whole DOM again. Almost a decade I used for processing xml files. Here is some sample code which can give you a starting point: http://rpgnextgen.com/downloads/xmldom01.rpgle

I have an XML IFS file < 1 MB in size. I need to replace an empty tag. This is within an existing RPG pgm, so I figured it would be simple enough to use the IFS API's to read the file, manipulate the text and write it back out. Well I managed to crash the compiler (seriously.. dump spooled files, WRKPRB entry, the works). While I wait on IBM support, I decided to go looking for a better option. About all I've found is talk about XML-INTO & XML-SAX to deserialize XML. That isn't really practical here, since my input and output will both be IFS files.

Any suggestions?
