RE: XML-INTO with %HANDLER

I had to parse a four large Lawson Report Writer XML document (up to
several hundred megs big ). Its structure was not deep and was
consistence enough but repeated an unknown number of times. I first
coded the XML-INTO with a handler. During testing it took about 3
minutes for the documents to be processed. I ended up going to the
XML-SAX (I forget the exact reason but it was because of the document I
had to process), when I was done figuring out all the needed handler
code the same documents processed in 30 seconds.

It was more work with the XML-SAX but I learned a lot from the
experience.

Below are code samples I used to build my experience with the XML-SAX
parser.

Are you using %handler because the PO data structure is too big when you

make the arrays as big as you need? (Just curious.)

Yes that is correct.

The example I sent just showed one POChange set. There will be multiple

POChange sets and I wanted to be able to process an XML file that had an

unknown number of these sets.

that's good info, I'm concerned that I have 3 nodes at the same level

ChangePODetail.
I have the ChangePODetail, SplitPODetail and NewPODetail - is that
possible to handle in this way?

No, if you need to handle the ChangePODetail's using %handler, you'd
have to handle anything at the same level separately.
