Using the IBM XML Toolkit with RPG
Craig Pelkie
Using the IBM XML Toolkit with RPG
XML is a widely used markup
language used to exchange data
between systems and applications.
Most of the discussion about using
XML revolves around the various
XML parsers available for Java or the
Microsoft XML support. However,
IBM provides an XML Toolkit that
can be used from procedural
languages such as RPG and COBOL.
In this session, you will learn about
the XML Toolkit, how it is accessed
from RPG, the XML APIs that are
supported, and see examples of RPG
code used to parse and generate
XML, using the Toolkit API support.
