Re: XML processing from a field

This part of the article beginning gives the answer:

"If we assume that the XML document is contained within the IFS file Customers.xml in directory XMLDocs, then the XML-INTO operation needed to process the document would be:
XML-INTO customer %XML( fileLocn: 'doc=file case=any’); …. Without this option the RPG compiler would assume that the variable contained the XML. …"

Notice the “without this option”. You specified doc=file so you told it the XML was in a file. Just leave that option out and it will assume that the XML is in a variable.

I have never had occasion to process xml before, so this is completely new to me. I don't think that the way I'm being asked to get and parse the data is the norm.
I found an article http://www.itjungle.com/fhg/fhg080415-story01.html example (XMLINTOB1) that has code that appears to do something similar to I what I want to do, but I'm not having any luck.

I am reading a file on SQL SERVER from an ESRI table.
It appears that there is a field that contains XML data.
I have read the file and loaded the data into a character field.

When I run the XML-INTO I get an error code of 302 which says that the xml document was not an external file. Which of course its not.

Below is a snippet of data . I'm not sure if it is the complete contents of the field, but hopefully it is enough to indicate what I'm looking at.

Can I process the xml from a field? If so, what is causing the 302 error?
Any guidance on how to accomplish this is appreciated.
