Mike,

Why not just use the RPG built in function and op-codes? %XML, XML-INTO for the DOM parser, and XML-SAX for the SAX parser.

Subject: Parse a XML file with RPGLE

Hello List,

I have a request to parse a XML file in a rpg program.  I'm experimenting with the expat parser I downloaded from Scott Klement's website (great stuff!!) to parse a XML file from the ifs.  I'm using the sample program (CHARDATA1) from the download - pretty straight forward.  When I run the program and put it in debug, after the code:
  len = read(fd: %addr(Buff): %size(Buff)); I check the Buff variable and I see garbage - I can't make out the xml.  I've tried several xml files and all display the same.  Has anyone had a similar problem using the expat parser?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
