XML stages for mainframe?

troywinston · Post by **troywinston** » Mon Nov 07, 2005 7:39 pm

Can someone help with XML. My source is XML format from a mainframe and I want to load target to cobol copybook format on another mainframe. Server has XML stages but I realize mainframe does not, any suggestions? I am using 7.5

Troy,
Try a XSLT to do it. A java based one (Saxxon at apache) would do it.

Any other approach ai coudl take to get this done? For example
perform a server job first using XML source -> XML transformer -> sequential file.
then perform a mainframe job from that Sequential file -> transformer - cobol cobybook.
Any thoughts or suggestion!!

Troy,
I think you just said it. Try that. It should work. Read the data using xml input, use the xml transformer, use sequential stage as ur passive stage, into the transformer, change the format to ebcidic and into cobol copy book.
