Re: Running XSLT transformation

Take the following XML:

You might be tempted to stick the Relationship attribute id in with
the <Header> stuff during the XSL translation, but if the XSD says it
can repeat then you should be warned that it could (or most likely)
will break if they ever sent multiple <Relationship /> tags.

Okay, now I see what you're getting at, and I was keeping that in the back of my mind. As alluded to elsewhere in the thread, I'm hoping this transformation is a one-off. I need to get some data imported quickly for quarter-end. After that I think I'm going to need to use XML-SAX or modify program for the earlier version of the document (which uses Expat).

Expect to see some questions regarding XML-INTO and %handler() on the RPG list in the near future :)
