David, The "assign n to system(1017)" syntax is an undocumented feature which allows you to do reads without system delimiter conversion. It is definitely available on 10.0. You should be able to test it simply enough.
id = 'test' rec = 'x':char(10):'y' open 'type19file' to t19 then crt oconv(rec,'mx0c') ;* hex output to see what happens to rec[2,1] write rec on t19,id assign @true to system(1017) read z from t19,id then crt oconv(z,'mx0c') assign @false to system(1017) read z from t19,id then crt oconv(z,'mx0c') end Sorry xmap came in at 10.2 IIIRC.

SYSTEM(1017) seems to have a different function in UV10.0 - "1017 Returns the user's supplementary UNIX groups in a dynamic array." Can't find any reference to xmapopen() - maybe new since 10.0 ?

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 _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
