AW: AW: RPGLE data structure for XML attribute and value

The datasubf option was introduced with PTF in Release 6.1 (not sure if
there is a PTF for Release V5R4 available):

Thanks Birgitta. I didn't see datasubf in the v5r4 manual, and when I
compile I get

*RNF0224 30 021600 Error in %XML options at position 50,
"datasubf=data".

V6R1 PTF SI34938 adds two new %XML options for the XML-INTO operation,
available for programs compiled with TGTRLS(V6R1M0) or greater. To take
advantage of this enhancement, RPG programs will have to be recompiled with
PTF SI34941.

The new options are

* datasubf
* countprefix


The/datasubf/option enables the XML-INTO operation to handle XML elements in
the following form:

<tagname attr="value">text data</tagname>

and further along in that article:

*Default:*When the/datasubf/option is not specified, XML elements matching
RPG data structures cannot have text data. Text data can only be associated
with the subfields of the data structure.

I guess I'm out of luck on this one, since this customer is trying to move
off the IBM i in favor of some Windows software (AX) in order to make their
company more sellable; they're not going to upgrade beyond v5r4.

Thanks again! I can at least stop beating my head against the wall.

Hi Peter,



The Data Structures must be defined as follows:

D Height_T DS Qualified Template

D Reference 32A

D RefereceHeight...

D 15P 0

D Data 32A



D Centration DS

D Height LikeDS(Height_t)




Additionally you need add option datasubf=data where data is the name
of the subfields that receive the element values. Subfields with other
names will receive the attribute values

XML-INTO centration %XML(XMLstmf: 'doc=file +

ccsid=best +

case=any +

trim=all +

allowmissing=yes +

allowextra=yes +

datasubf=data');

Betreff: RPGLE data structure for XML attribute and value



This is my first time parsing an XML file. Within the XML file is the

following:



<centration>

<height reference="FAR" referenceHeight="OVERBOX">22</height>

</centration>



I'm trying to use XML-INTO (v5r4) to parse it into a data structure.
I set up the data structure like this:



d centration ds

d height likeds(height_t)



d height_t ds based(gTemplate) qualified

d reference 32a

d referenceHeight...

d 32a

d height 15p 0



And the RPG is this:



XML-INTO centration %XML(XMLstmf: 'doc=file +

ccsid=best +

case=any +

trim=all +

allowmissing=yes +

allowextra=yes');



And it runs without error and populates reference with "FAR" and
referenceHeight with "OVERBOX", but centration.height.height is blank.



How do I define this so the XML parser knows where to put the "22" value?
