Re: Special Parsing Using XML-INTO

[Scott Klement <rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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 :-)

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.
