Re: Output Formatted XML

Personally...

I'd push back pretty hard on that. Prettified XML isn't needed for any
packaged XML parser...

Requiring it may be an indication of a hand rolled parser whose quarks and
limitations you really don't want to get into making allowances for.

If they simply want a human to look at it, tell them to simply load it up
into notepad++ or some other PC tool and prettify it when they want to look
at it.

I'm currently outputting an XML doc to the IFS using embedded SQL, no
issue there.

Now the person on the receiving end is demanding the <?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8?> be on line 1 of the document followed by a line feed
with the XML data starting on the second line.

Was hoping to accomplish this using SQL instead of a re-write to output
using pure RPG. Is there a way to have SQL output formatted/indented
XML?
