My previous post included an example program.  Let me know if that
didn't answer your questions. In general you tell the SAX parser which
elements you want to be notified of along with a procedure pointer that
the SAX parser should call in the event it comes across one of your
nodes (say elements).

For sending XML out from the iSeries I use CGIDEV2 because it takes all
of the XML out of my RPG programs and provides a good "templating" type
model. Brad Stone also has a similar product that touts 15 times speed
increase to CGIDEV2.

The parser allows for and IFS file (XMLSAX_parseIFS) and an alpha RPG
field (XMLSAX_parseMemory).

Aaron,

Could you give a brief explanation of the XMLSAX parser?  Your web site
offers the download (which I am retrieving -- 22MB???) but little else
that I could see of that describes what it does.  I am also downloading
the rpg-xml-parser from your Code page; is this something different from
XMLSAX?

We are looking at a project in which we will need to "deal" with
XML-formatted data, both in receiving it on the AS/400 from a PC server
and sending it the other way as well.

When your XML parsing is working in an RPG program, where is the XML
data?
A stream file in the IFS?  A native AS/400 flat file?

FYI, we are not using Java for our project.

tia,
db
