Hello,

This is not a common requirement. Normally, one program parses everything into a data structure, then that data structure (or fields taken from it) would be what is passed to other routines instead of the XML itself.

Or, if you really want to have different programs be responsible for parsing different parts of the XML (which seems very unusual to me) then you could pass the entire XML document as a string from routine to routine, and each routine could use the PATH= option to isolate a part of the document to parse. But, this very unusual...

I wouldn't worry about someone having already asked this question... this is a very unusual requirement :-)

Hello,

I apologize if someone has already asked this question. I have a task where I need to parse an XML document, but part of the xml needs to be saved to a variable and then passed along to another program that will actually parse that part of the xml. How can I do that using XML-INTO? So for example, in program GETCARRIER, I will parse the state element, but I also need to pass along to another program, the order_send node, which will parse that section.

<request>
<program>GETCARRIER</program>
<state>WI</state>
<order_send>
<billto>
<name>XYZ CORP</name>
<addr1>123 MAIN STREET</addr1>
<city>MADISON</city>
<state>WI</state>
<zipcode>53701</zipcode>
</billto>
<shipto>
<name>XYZ CORP</name>
<addr1>123 MAIN STREET</addr1>
<city>MADISON</city>
<state>WI</state>
<zipcode>53701</zipcode>
</shipto>
<itemlist>
<item>
<sku>67130</sku>
<qtyord>1</qtyord>
</item>
</itemlist>
</order_send></request>
