Re: XML-INTO Example

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've also replied on the RPG400 list and prefer to continue there.

Moses, what do you have so far? You will need some kind of data 
structure. It'd help if you give us your start or how far you've come - 
I'm not ready to start from the beginning. Besides, my boss would be 
very displeased, considering the pressure we are under right now!!

You say watered down - it would be helpful to have the true structure - 
and just so you know, XML-INTO has its limits - if things get 
complicated, you may need to look at XML-SAX.

Nonetheless, there are several good examples of what the structure 
should be for - RPG Reference is the place to look.

If it's possible, you'll want to have the structure start, perhaps, at 
the <order> - you have choices in this - you would want an array in your 
DS for <order> - another array for <item> things.

How can I use xml-into and %handler to parse the xml and write them into separate header and detail tables without having to specify the order nbr inside of the item_list section.  Anyone have an example I can check out?  Below is a watered down sample xml I need to parse:
