Re: XML-INTO (just need a quick answer)...

Or maybe there is, because what you sees as fieldnames xmlGetNode is
actually a
low level subprocedure that returns a value from global fields in the
xmlReader:

here is what can be returned about the current XML element that has been
read:

XML Reader, JSON/CSV to XML converters
--------------------------------------
xmlFromStmf() Reads a text based file into a special buffer
-xmlAddr() Returns the %addr of the special buffer
-xmlSize() Returns the %size of the special buffer
xmlToStmf() Sends output buffer (store 0) to a stmf

xmlReaderInz() Initialize the xmlReader
xmlReaderCase() Sets the reader to return nodes in
upper/lower/mixed case
xmlReader() Reads next XML element or attribute
-xmlGetNodeType() Returns Nodetype on current element
-xmlGetDepth() Returns Three Depth of current element
-xmlGetNode() Returns Node Name of current element
-xmlGetXPath() Returns XPath or part of XPath of current
element
-xmlGetXPathJson() Returns XPath or part of XPath in JSON converted
file
-xmlGetAttr() Returns Current Attribute Name if the reader is
in attribute section
-xmlGetData() Returns Data Part of current element
-xmlGetDataNum() Returns Numeric Part of current element
-xmlAddrOuter() Returns the outer %addr of current element
-xmlSizeOuter() Returns the %size of current element
-xmlAddrInner() Returns the inner %addr of current element
-xmlSizeInner() Returns the inner %size of current element

Okey,

why just complicate things, in powerEXt you write XML in to subprocedures:

// ==================================================================
// Writing XML with xmlNode and xmlEndNode methods

xmlNode('orderHead':'orderNo="123456"');
xmlNode('customerNumber':'':'999888');
xmlNode('orderDate':'':%char(%date(timeStamp())));
xmlNode('orderText':'':'Text with spec char <>''"&');
xmlEndNode();

very simple !!!

You read the same XML in one loop, nothing has to be setup, you anly has to
know where the XML
is in storage:


// Read the XML
dow xmlReader = 0;
select;
when xmlGetNode = 'orderhead' and xmlGetAttr = 'orderno';
dsp = 'Order No: ' + xmlGetData;
dsply dsp;
when xmlGetNode = 'customernumber' and xmlGetAttr = '';
dsp = 'Cust No: ' + xmlGetData;
dsply dsp;
when xmlGetNode = 'orderdate' and xmlGetAttr = '';
dsp = 'Order Date: ' + xmlGetData;
dsply dsp;
when xmlGetNode = 'ordertext' and xmlGetAttr = '';
dsp = 'Order Text: ' + xmlGetData;
dsply dsp ' ' wait;
endsl;
enddo;

no Voodo here ....

I used XML4PR quite a bit about 6 to 8 years ago but haven't really
used the latest incantation.
