XML, XSLT and DFSORT, Part Three - Multiple XML Input Files
While I was putting together the original three posts in this series a number of thoughts struck me, amongst which two really cried out for further investigation: I don't know how your XML data arrives on z/OS but quite a lot of scenarios don't have the data all as one document (file). XSLT looks complex - particularly if recursion does your head in. Thought 2 I'll deal with in a... [More]

XML, XSLT and DFSORT, Part Two - DFSORT
Following on from this post and this one , this post discusses the DFSORT piece. The DFSORT code in this post parses the Comma-Separated Variable (CSV) file produced by XSLT processing. In this simple example it merely produces a flat file report, but the post has a few additional details you might find valuable. First, here's the SORTIN DD JCL statement. It's not like a regular sequential file... [More]

XML, XSLT and DFSORT, Part One - Creating A Flat File With XSLT
This is the second part of a (currently) three-part series on processing XML data with DFSORT, given a little help from standard XML processing tools. The first part - which you should read before reading on - is here . To recap, getting XML data into DFSORT is a two stage process: Flatten the XML data so that it consists of records with fields in sensible places. Process this flattened data with... [More]

XML, XSLT and DFSORT, Part Zero - Overview
In the distant past I've written about using DFSORT to parse XML. This post (and two follow-on posts) will describe
an experiment to make such processing much more robust. In this post I'll talk about what the problem I'm trying to solve is. And why. And a brief outline of my solution. About XML This isn't meant to be the most detailed description of XML, nor a complete list of where it's used. I... [More]

Workload Manager Policy in XML Format - Part III
Here's another way to process a WLM Service Definition - once you've got it into XML format. XSLT (XML Stylesheet Transformations if you prefer) is another technology that's been around for a while. In simple terms you write another piece of XML (the stylesheet) that describes how to transform your original XML into something else. There's a lot of flexibility in this but the example in this post... [More]
