RE: [RPGNext] HTML/XML

["Richard Rothe" <RichardRothe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have the need to begin generating XML files to pass data to a vendor.
I understand that I will need to generate the XML content.  The question
is....how ?

Is the XML4PR still available ?  Can I find it on my iSeries ?  Or, am I
required to buy the XML Toolkit from IBM ?

Can I find some examples of generating XML with RPG somewhere ?

You can use a serializer to write the XML, but I use the IFS APIs to
simply create a xml file in the IFS.
