Hi,

Will datastage support SGML in XML stages? I have to extract the data from a legacy application which has API to retun the SGML. Please share your inputs

Many Thanks
MSR

My guess is no. But you could write your own custom stage.

...it will, to a degree... it depends. XML was derived from, and is a subset of, SGML......so there are bits and pieces and chunks of sgml where the xslt beneath the surface has been able to work. Get a snippet from your sgml and post it here, and we can take a look.
