The SQL functions are about as standard as you can get but I agree they are pretty ugly.

There is tooling in Python, node and PHP to do this for you if that is an option.

Otherwise in the past I have used CGIDEV2 templates and used them to generate XML docs.

Hi,

Got given a bunch of PFs and told to generate an XML document from them.
Discovered the DB2 function XMLGROUP but it doesn't look easy to use for a
complicated document. Don't we have a "standard way" of doing this yet?
