Re: Passing XML back and forth with RPG and .NET

Good luck Mike

Personally I would stick to using .NET to display the data, but I accept
that you may have to do it your way and no doubt there are reasons I am not
aware of.

Looking forward to the write-up (but maybe not)!

The problem then would be if I am sending a display file with CTL data and
hundreds of SFL records. There isn't an easy way to process this.

Once I have a good solid working design, I am going to be writing up what I
did.
