Re: xml-into

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Not tested and off the top of my head...

dcl-ds xmldata;
  dcl-ds file_in dim(2);
    dcl-ds header;
      dcl-subf file_number int(5);
    end-ds;
    dcl-ds service;
      dcl-subf label varchar(20);
      dcl-ds data;
        dcl-ds contract dim(2);
          dcl-subf num_contract int(5);
        end-ds;
      end-ds;
    end-ds;
  end-ds;
end-ds;

You'll need to add a count field for the array DS's unless they are always
2...
