RE: receive Dynamic XML

[Mike Krebs <mkrebs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It would be easier to advise if we could see the layout of your XML.  There are multiple ways to deal with repeating elements and it is kind of hard to be generic about it.

If you look at EXAMPLE11 (CNN), it shows one way to deal with it. Basically, the data structure gets incremented when "this" element is seen. The values get filled when anything else is seen.

with that example there is only one variable being passed back.rc = http_url_post_xml( 'http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx' : %addr(SOAP) + 2 : %len(SOAP) : *NULL : %paddr(Incoming) : %addr(rate) please give me a suggestion on how to handle a data structure where I am using an external file definition. Would I incorporate the routine in ex17?

Sounds like you are on the right track.

If you have problems writing INCOMING, share some XML and there are a bunch of us that can help out. But with multiple data elements, you will have to use some global variables or data structures to keep track of the results.

Thank you for you response Here is what I am doing. I getting item info/availability from a webservice. since it will involve multiple warehouses the xml will return lists aka arrays of warehouse item availability.[UGHHH]  So I took a bit of EXAMPLE16 & EXAMPLE17 and used it since it was parsing the return data. In my case it will be a huge chunk of data to parse especially with the arrays....SO I didn't want to write it to the IFS [like in EXAMPLE17] but rather parse send the data back into the program parms.

I think http_url_post_xml allows you to work with the returned data directly. EXAMPLE16 is showing this by calling INCOMING for each element in the returned xml.

I have used both the _raw and _xml procedures for either http_url_get/post depending on what you are using, they allow you to specify a procedure that gets called when data is received.  They are used in some of the provided examples if you search for them.
