Full Day "Mini-Summit" Seminar

Processing XML with RPG

In this session we'll look at the enhancements made to the RPG compiler to enable RPG developers to process XML natively from RPG programs. We'll first have a brief overview of the features added in Version 5 that are critical to understanding the XML support that came in V5R4.

One of the main features of the release is the new XML support. Whether you are using XML for web services or data interchange, dealing with XML in RPG is definitely challenging. This support brings welcome relief in the form of new native RPG IV language support that greatly simplifies parsing XML within your RPG programs. In this session we'll discuss the two types of XML parsing support offered and the new operation codes that provide that support.
