RE: RPG400-L Digest, Vol 9, Issue 120

Yes the sed looked interesting and I got it to work more or less, and
since I couldn't find any documentation on it thru Google (maybe I was
going about that wrong), I had to go another route. I couldn't get the
right codepage and the "\r\n" that Dennis had in the sed command gave me
a "r" and "n" in the file (maybe that to, was codepage related), and
didn't have time to chase it down.

As to putting the XML in a PF, yes not the best way to do it. But the
rest of the application already exists and I was not given the time to
rewrite it. So I just remove the shelling out to the PC Delphi program
that sends and receives the XML files and had a RPGLE program do that
with the help of your httpapi's and IFS functions let it go at that, at
least that way it is all on the iSeries. Not pretty (or even best
practices) but it should work.

I'm with Dennis. Use sed. This could hardly be easier than with sed.

Though, I personally think it's an idiotic thing to do to begin with.
You should never be putting an XML file into a PF to begin with. What's

stopping you from processing the XML straight from the IFS? (That is,
after all, the normal way to process XML!)
