xml generate and validation in cobol.

[Piggy Chop]

Hi,

We've planned to go with XML Schema and make use of VALIDATING clause in XML PARSE as below:

Code: Select all

XML PARSE xmldoc
VALIDATING WITH mySchema-id
PROCESSING PROCEDURE p1
END-XML

But one of the client said that we could use VALIDATING WITH clause with XML GENERATE too. But I donot find any references of using VALIDATING WITH clause with XML GENERATE. VALIDATING WITH clause has been used with only XML PARSE. Can someone please advise on this?

Read the IBM COBOL Language Reference for the level of COBOL that you are using (assuming that you are using IBM COBOL). I checked the 5.1 version which was the latest that was returned on my search - and guess what?

We are on enterprise cobol 4.2 and in the manual for it i dont see XML GENERATION with VALIDATION...what should i guess now?
