The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

IBM provides me a way to read XML, but not to create XML? So I have to
manually put together an XML document?
As Emeril is so fond of saying, It ain't rocket science. ;-) And even
parsing XML isn't all that difficult.
How I generate XML:
1. Get a dump of a known-good sample of the sort of XML you're to
generate (usually something to feed a SOAP web service).
2. Break it down into easy-to-handle chunks: all the fixed content
leading up to the first thing you have to generate on the fly, then
that, then the next block of fixed content, and so forth. Each chunk
should be either all fixed, or all variable.
3. Write code to build the variable chunks, and concatenate them with
the fixed ones, in the correct sequence.
4. Send it.
Parsing what comes back without an XML parser isn't as hard as it may
seem, either; all you have to do is scan for the tags delimiting the
data that's of interest, and ignore the rest.
