Can Maintain work with XML master files?

I have a Maintain application that needs to function with an XML master file. The developer interface parses it correctly and I get the inferred stack with all of its fields, but when I attempt to deploy I get a vanilla error indicating there was a problem parsing the master file.

Are xml master files ok with Maintain? I only want to read, not write to the xml.

Thanks,

John

Maintain currently does not support XML files. However, can Table read the file? The easiest thing to do would be to EXEC a Table to get the data and bring it back into the Maintain procedure. Just COMPUTE the fields that you need into a stack in the Maintain procedure.

So you would have:

COMPUTE STK.FIELD1/fmt;
COMPUTE STK.FIELD2/fmt;
EXEC GETDATA INTO STK

Then your GETDATA procedure would be:

TABLE FILE xmlfile
PRINT FIELD1 FIELD2
ON TABLE PCHOLD
END
-RUN

Let me know if you have any questions or problems.

Mark
