Re: Processing a received XML document - support for XSD?

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Loek,

Are you sure the XML Toolkit for IBM System i5 (5733-XT2) is free of charge?

Does it have to be ordered, then downloaded via ESS?  Or is there some
other place to download it.

Thanks,
Charles
