Hooold on there....Wait a gosh darn minute... There is a PIPE stage that can process a XML document!!
This is as good a free beer, without the morning after <G>. I installed XMLPARSE and tried a sample XML document with the results piped to the console. That looks like what I really wanted. Thanks. It doesn't look like I can use LPR to send the XML document to my reader queue. I keep getting truncated at 80 bytes. I can FTP the file without any problems, but I sure liked the WAKEUP (RDR as the method to drive the server. A pipe stage for a XML document. What a country! Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting >>> "A.

I've experimented with it but never used it for anything significant. http://www.vm.ibm.com/download/packages/descript.cgi?XMLPARSE http://www.vm.ibm.com/download/packages/xmlparse.vmarc >Thanks >Tom Duerbusch >THD Consulting
