Re: [U2] XML mapping to multiple files records
Thanks for the responses. I was trying to use the tools built into UniVerse rather than parse through everything which I have done on past projects. I feel the XML.TODB program or the XMLTODB function should be able to handle this no problem but seems to have an issue with multiple records. I tested this on multiple UniVerse levels including 10.3.0. I ended up writing a program that uses an XMAP file and with a combination of XMAPOPEN, XMAPREADNEXT, AND XMAPCLOSE I could get the data into Universe. Once in memory I had to do a little parsing and cleanup but eventually ended up with something acceptable. - Josh -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Kathleene M Hunter Sent: Thursday, June 25, 2009 3:57 PM To: 'U2 Users List' Subject: Re: [U2] XML mapping to multiple files records Call a subroutine that parses the data.

[U2] XML mapping to multiple files records
