RE: cXML

I'm probably showing my ignorance here as I've never dealt with EDI.
I have generated XML and JSON for some applications but used GoAnywhere.

For a simple document or set of documents where someone did not want to purchase a vendor package, wouldn't it be feasible to just build a document, possibly using a template, and populate it using %ScanRpl()? I've done a few form letter type applications where that was my approach. Template in a physical file and placeholders for the variables to replace with DB and/or calculated values.

Again, I may be looking at this too simplistically but just tossing the idea out there.

Hi Jon

:) My last post, I'm now a liar - I used some of your articles 8 or 9
years ago. easy400 still has some articles, i don't know if any of
yours, but I've not looked lately.

I've given presentations at COMMON, et al., about using CGIDEV2 to build
the component XML files in XLSX files. I give a very basic CGIDEV2 101
as part of it.

Easy to over-think this process!

Well XML-INTO can be used to consume any cXML that is sent to you. Generation is a different thing.

I would suggest you stop looking for cXML tools specifically - as Vern has pointed out it is just a set of predefined standards for commerce data interchange. Instead, look for tools such as Krengletech's XML-Suite that assist in building XML. You can also use an existing templating system, such as that builtin to CGIDEV2. There is also the XMLi open-source project (https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Fxmli%2F&data=05%7C01%7C%7Cb1817abf273b498d333608db23451288%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638142551793685174%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=E4AEfZR80UTXckWBP0h1obWYydAVXqAjluBjeYI%2BbKM%3D&reserved=0 <https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Fxmli%2F&data=05%7C01%7C%7Cb1817abf273b498d333608db23451288%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638142551793685174%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=E4AEfZR80UTXckWBP0h1obWYydAVXqAjluBjeYI%2BbKM%3D&reserved=0

I don't think cXML is a product.

It's an XML data format.

You'll need to learn how to format cXML files for them if they need them.

Or find a vendor that can help with software that can create cXML file
? (Which was maybe what you were after?)

Looking for direction for using cXML, have a customer that is going
that direction. Any third party companies that offer cXML
