Re: XML 2 PDF

To comply with a new law to create and process electronic documents, we
need to select some items from a large XML and generate and mail a PDF.
As a "proof of concept" I wrote a program that puts in a PDF a couple of
items (need more) and mails it. Before I do all the program I will like
your opinion about the way I am doing it. In RPG: Select the XML from a
table (SQL) XML-INTO to split the XML Override the printer to ifs
(gives a PDF) Move to field in a printer file (DDS), write... sndsmptemm
... --> my mail client receives a message with the PDF attached. Why
do I ask? It was a long time since I did the last printer file, and I
did not used any pretty stuff, just plain text, so I need to learn about
box, lines, fonts etc. in DDS. I was surprised when I opened the
manual in the 7.4 page, and found the 7.2 manual, no new things in 7.3
nor 7.4. Is it a good idea to use DDS? Is DDS going away? Are there
better alternatives? TIA Raúl
