Re: I would like to parse CDATA !

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

The web service is sending you data where the XML tags have been escaped 
so that there's no chance of a conflict between the XML tags in the 
response and the tags in the SOAP envelope.  This is very common.

The solution is very simple.  Just have your end-tag-handler (often 
called "Incoming", though you can call it anything you choose) save it 
to a temporary IFS file.  Then, parse that IFS file.

Here are some examples of doing that (these are old examples, I haven't 
tried them recently to see if the web services are still offered -- but 
either way, I hope the RPG code illustrates what you need to do.)

As for the &#xD stuff -- I'm hoping that these are normal XML entities 
that will be fixed by doing the 2nd XML parse, as described above.  If 
they are not, consider using RPG's %scan & %replace functions to scan 
for them and remove them from the document.  Since others don't seem to 
have problems with this, I don't think it makes sense to make it part of 
HTTPAPI.
