writing xml record

[municipal]

Hi
I want to write a COBOL general routine that write XML record
the format that i think is like DISPLAY statement
for example : DISPLAY FIELD-1
and if FIELD-1 contain the value 1234
the result is <FIELD-1>1234<\FIELD-1>

ANY IDEA ?
TIA.
MENAS.

I want to write a log file
to view the file from explorer
and later to export it to another platform

Hi municipal,

The simplest solution to this, you have already supplied. Assuming you know XML, then all you have to do is what you posted:

&quot;for example : DISPLAY FIELD-1
and if FIELD-1 contain the value 1234
the result is <FIELD-1>1234<\FIELD-1>&quot;

The most involved solution is to use any of the various tools/APIs already on the market (use COBOL XML in any search engine).

If this post does not address your problem, try being more specific about your request.

The best COBOL XML interface I know is XML Toolkit of Liant Software. You can write/read what ever XML code you
need from COBOL. No XML knowledge is necessary.

Muni,

Tell us something along these lines:

&quot;I have a file that contains these fields, name, address, city, state, etc. in the form:

Jack   Sleight     123 Ave A Any  OK
George Bush        1 Ave B   Wash DC

Field lengths are as follows: yada yada yada.

I want to create a series of variable XML records of the form:

<fname>Jack<\fname><lname>Sleight<\lname>yada yada
<fname>George<\fname><lname>Bush<\lname>yada yada

I don't know if this is what you're looking for because you didn't take the time to explain your problem fully.

I don't mean to be rude, but this has to be said: If you expect US to take the time to provide an answer for you, YOU should show the courtesy of taking the time and expending the effort to adequately explain your problem.

Regards, Jack.

Just for the record...

XML ending tag uses the forward slash[/] so it is, for example:

<fname>...</fname> Tom Morrison
