So what is the 'XML Toolkit' referenced?  Is that an OS component?

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:

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.
