Does XML4PR500 have Xpath functionality built in?  I haven't taken the
time to purchase the toolkit and see what it has for functionality yet.

With XML4PR500 you can code this (only relevant part):

DBookNum          S             10I 0
DCatalog          DS                  qualified
D ID                            10A

DomDoc  = QxmlXercesDOMParser_getDocument(DomParse);

// get number of books
BookNum = getElemCount('catalog/book':*Omit);

// for each book
for i = 1 to BookNum;
  Node = getNode('catalog/book':i-1);
  Catalog.Id = getAttr(Node:'id');
endfor;

===========
In a service program or inline the main you build your procedures

getElementCount
returns the count of <book> using
NodeList = QxmlDOMDocument_getElementsByTagName
              (DomDoc:ntString:Qxml_CHARSTR:0); ChildNode =
QxmlDOMNodeList_item(NodeList:0); QxmlDOMNodeList_getLength(NodeList);

getNode
is similar to getElementCount but returns ChildNode

getAttr
returns  the attribute of n <book> using AttrNode =
QxmlDOMElement_getAttribute
           (Node:ntString:Qxml_CHARSTR:0);



QxmlDOMDocument_getElementsByTagName
, getNode and getAttr are procedures

> My understanding is that when I list the children of element Node
'book',
there should be a node of type 2 or Qxml_ATTR_NOD. This node should have
the
name 'id' and the value '101'. However when I build a nodelist of the
children for this node using the QxmlDOM_Node_getChildNodes API, and
then
see the type for each node separately I do not see any nodes of type 2.
Is
my understanding wrong? Can someone help me?
