Re: XML Toolkit concatenating strings on multiple calls

Hi Rick,

I don't know anything about XML toolkit, but I'm curious to know what all
this code does
and what the result in XMLOut are, as I read it, it is a single XML node
with attributes
that then are added to a dataqueue.

If so, you could easily just build the node in one single RPGLE statement
like

xmlOut = '<Audit'
+ ' letterID="' + %trimR(letterId) + '"'
+ ' sourceSystem="' + SourceSystem + '"'
+ ' targetSystem="' + TargetSystem + '"'
+ ' auditDate="' + OracleTmsp + '"'
+ ' />');

Maybe I didn't make this as clear as I should have.

The read from the data queue is not causing concatenation that is fine. It
is the creation of the XML string using the toolkit that results in
concatenation. The result of building the XML string for each iteration
returns a string containing every XML string created up to that point.

I am using the XML Toolkit 5.6(?) to create an XML string. The
program is processing entries from a data queue until the queue is
empty. The XML is being formed properly but the resulting string is
being concatenated to the previous result. For example, if there are
three entries on the queue I will get the correct XML string on the
first call, the correct XML for the second entry appended to the first
XML string on the second call, and the correct XML for the third entry
appended to the XML string containing the first two entries on the
third call.

I've not had that problem. I'm using a construct like this:
xmlData = "";
KeyedDataQueue dq = new KeyedDataQueue(iHost, pathToQueue);
DataQueueEntry dqe = null; do {
dqe = dq.read(dataQueueKey, 1, "EQ");
if (dqe != null) xmlData += dqe.getString(); } while(dqe != null);
dataExists = (xmlData.length() > 0);
