Can you go to "DATA Adapters", then "ADD", and find XML in the list of adapters available? After you add it, you can go to "Metadata" then "Add" and see the XML adapter there. You choose that and pick the directory where you have a dtd that describes the xml file. From there it will create a master file. You should be able to find more information in the console's help screens. In my version it is under "Server Administration", "Configuring Data Adapters", "Data Adapter for XML".

The XML adapter is a great feature not only can you use XML as a datasource, but webfocus can publish out data as an xml document. Just be sure that you are licensed to use it.
Search the IBI Knowledge Base for an article entitled: "Reporting XML Content of a Data Source". Also in the 5.32 documentation is: "Create a Synonym to Access XML Documents From Relational DBMS CLOB Fields".
I haven't done this myself, but this sounds like what you are wanting to do.

Maintain had some pretty neat text manipulation capabilities. I 've used it in similar situations to construct a filters that parse long records into component parts, and store them in an appropriate structure.

Maintain is part of the standard WebFOCUS server functionally - meaning, you can developed maintain apps with DevStudio and DevStudio gives you a single-use license for development.
When it's time to deploy applications that use it you will need to license it. But it's not expensive and well worth the license fee.
There's nothing to install (it's there in the server) -- but lot's of learning curve -- and there may be a license issue. Check with the saleman. (I cannot speak for IBI - I am no longer their employee.)
Note that Maintain has several flavors. This (data filters and transforms) is the non-persistent kind of maintain, and without any use of the presentation features (winforms).

Hi, Somewhat I'm able to parse it upto some extent. I used POSIT to point some tag and from there used substring to retrieve each character occurence until I reach '<' . Then using MODIFY, I'm updating this to an table. It's working fine but if I have more records, getting an error "Out of Memory" error.
