Hello,

How to extract particular record from XML file using COBOL? Can we do that? The records are numeric.

You can use XML PARSE in COBOL.

Take a look at http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/a ... .html?open and I'd start with a simple example before heading towards a "production ready" one.

At the risk of publicising my blog you might also want to try some of the techniques I write about using DFSORT. Use your favourite web engine with the terms "XML DFSORT".

Thanks Martin. I looked at your blog too. So, do you suggest to use the 'parse' using DFSORT or using XML PARSE COBOL as Robert has suggested to use? Please suggest.
