Has anyone used the COBOL parser? We want to get an XML file and parse it on the mainframe. The XML file will be using ACORD standards.
I think the string could potentially be very long. I have very little documentation and no experience.
Does the parser read all the bytes and elements at once? When I ftp the file to the mainframe, I would think we have to have a Lrecl which would make the string to a file with a FB or VB? I did take an .XML file to the mainframe and all the elements created records in a FB file. The info at IBM seemed to lead me to believe the parser reads the whole string but it is file? Or is the LRECL of the file
the longest string which would be ridiculous to believe?
