Re: In-Fo about Larry Ducie XMLi PowerEXT for XML creation

[Henrik Rützou <hr@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In powerEXT you don't need a template, you just write xml directly into the
output buffer uning the build in xml procedures ....

clearSrvPgm();
setContent('*none');

xmlNode('Sede');
    if field1 <> '';
      xmlNode('Indirizzo':'':field1);
    endif;
    if field2 <> 0;
      xmlNode('NumeroCivico':'':%editc(field2:'X'));
    endif;
    ...
xmlEndNode();

echoToStmf('/testfile.xml':1208);

If you have an example of the XML you has to generate you can even run the
command PXXMLRPGCM that generates a skeleton RPG sourcecode that generates
the XML file.
