COBOL?

Seriously, I believe ILE COBOL includes XML formatting functionality
that hasn't yet made it to RPG.

So you might consider having a COBOL module do the formatting.

I'm planning to use Scott's HTTP api to do my first http post/get to and

creating a XML in RPG. Just curious as how would one normally create a
XML data in RPG.

Do you just do:

XMLData =
'<?xml version="1.0"?>' +
'<myTagLevel1>' +

'<myTagLevel2A>' +
myTagLevel2AVariable +
'</myTagLevel2A>' +

'<myTagLevel2B>' +
myTagLevel2BVariable +
'</myTagLevel2B>' +
. . . .
'</myTagLeve1>'

Or is there sometype of tool that I can use that will make it a bit
easier to read and maintain?

thanks
