Re: [EXTERNAL] In-Fo about Larry Ducie XMLi PowerEXT for XMLcreation

Sadly that is becoming the norm - but they never tell you. Have a similar issue with postal codes in Canada and in the UK. With a space, without a space? With hype between the parts or without. The idiots never tell you and what is most annoying is that if they want zero spaces or special characters then it is the simplest code possible to just strip the dang things out!

The other day I signed in to a web site and placed an order. Based on my profile they filled in the address and phone number. Then when I passed the order button they complained that the phone number was the wrong format!

Well - I tried MANY different formats - it requires NO format

Is the phone number compulsory Alan? It wasn't when I signed up.

Sadly IBM, like 90% of web sites, wants the phone number in a particular format - but doesn't always tell you what that is. Have you tried various formats? Country code, etc.?

If not I can upload a copy to our server and let you download from there.

Hi everyone
I tried to download the pdf of this book (Modernizing IBM i
Applications from the Database up to the User Interface and Everything
in Between) I entered all the information they askedfor - but its failing on my phone number - saying that its invalid Live chat was not helpful and the 800 number they gave me passed me onto someone else, who passed me onto someone else, who passed me onto someone else......
You see where I am going with this
Does anyone have a pdf version of this redbook - the latest one?

Both powerExt and XMLi allow for an API approach to building the XML
strings. You basically call the API for each entry you want to output.

In Chapter 5 of the RPG Modernization Redbook
(http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg248185.html
<http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg248185.html>) I wrote an example of using each of these options - including CGIDEV2. So if you >>look at that you'll get a very direct comparison between the CGIDEV2 approach you are familiar with and the other two options you are considering.

powerext and XMLi are very similar in approach - it is mostly just a
question of personal preference. Personally (sorry Henrik) I have a slight preference for XMLi mostly because I find its approach to specifying attributes to be more obvious than the way it >>is done in powerExt.

Hi
