Re: XML best process

RPG’s limits have gone up a lot but not to the G level!

XML-INTO’s %Handler option is designed for this purpose and may be usable here. Without seeing all the details of the XML it is hard to tell.

If that won’t work for some reason, the only other thing (beyond XML-SAX) that I can think of would be to use %Scan to find the begin/end of a particular element and then pass that “lump” to XML-INTO. But if that works you should have been able to get %Handler to work anyway come to think of it.

Holler if you need %Handler examples.

I have a very deeply nested XML with each level having a variable number of

It is my understanding that in order to use XML-INTO, I create a data
structure for each level and have it dim-ed within the previous level data
structure. So, assuming only 4 levels of variable entries (and there are
more in some areas), if I assume a possible 50 entries per level and 200
bytes for the bottom level, that means I have 6.25M occurrences of the
bottom level data structure (50 * 50 * 50 * 50) for a total of 1.25G of
memory. OUCH!!!



If I use SAX, I think I can alloc the memory for the data structure as I
need it thus reducing it from 1.25G but then I have to keep track of where I
am in the XML. This seems to be a lot more difficult.



Am I missing something in these two options or is there another way to
process my file that I haven't found yet?
