xml to be read in cobol - and then output xml from cobol

[nikkio]

i am going to be passed 2 fields from an access system
which is read in an as400 cobol program which validates the field and should return these two fields -
the process of passing fields is to be in XML
does anyone have any ideas what the cobol program has to do ???

It's been too long since I worked with OS/400 - I'm pretty sure IBM has an XML parser for it by now - you might want to do a search on the IBM redbooks site, or at their alphaworks site, which has a lot of pre-release code.

I did a quick search at

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com

and didn't see anything.

I would try Google, and perhaps getting in touch with your customer engineer.
