Hi David, Doesn't look like it. If you need to write the xml, write it to a type 19 file and use system(1017) to ensure the document doesn't get CRLFs converted to UV system marks.
assign @true to system(1017) write xml on type19file,id assign @false to system(1017) z = preparexml('/.../':id,handle) Otherwise, have a look at the xmapopen() function instead. This works pretty well. Cheers, Stuart -----Original Message----- We have been using PrepareXML (UV 10.0 HP-UX 11.11) etc in a BASIC program successfully for several years processing a file, but now also need to extract XML from a Web response gained from an HTTP submitRequest. This will of course appear in a variable, but PrepareXML seems to require the XML document to be in a physical file. Is there any way to persuade PrepareXML to use a variable instead of a file ?? _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
