But he’s not dealing with CDATA Vicki, if he was you’d be correct.

I guess one possibility would be to pre-process the XML to inject the CDATA tags. That way it could be done quite easily.

We have exactly the situation that Alan describes - a payload inside the CDATA. What I'm doing is using XMLTABLE to extract it as XML and then it gets worked with.

If you need to pass a chunk of XML and don't want to pass the whole thing you might look at XMLTABLE.

And thanks to Alan. We don't do a lot of XML and we thought it was questionable XML to see XML inside of XML. I guess this is not such an uncommon although still not optimal occurrence.

subject: Special Parsing Using XML-INTO

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>

Thanks,
