Easytrieve/XML nesting

[Sarah_W]

Hello - 

I'm experimenting with the Easytrieve XML function.  My code is currently producing this:

<REPT1_REPORT>
 <REGION REGION='2'>
  <BRANCH BRANCH='lone tree      '>
   <REPT1>
    <DEPT>fff</DEPT>
    <EE_FIRST>goofy               </EE_FIRST>
    <EE_MIDDLE>steve               </EE_MIDDLE>
    <EE_LAST>thompson            </EE_LAST>
   </REPT1>
  </BRANCH>
 </REGION>
 <REGION REGION='4'>
  <BRANCH BRANCH='orlando        '>
   <REPT1>
    <DEPT>zzz</DEPT>
    <EE_FIRST>minnie              </EE_FIRST>
    <EE_MIDDLE>m                   </EE_MIDDLE>
    <EE_LAST>mouse               </EE_LAST>
   </REPT1>
  </BRANCH>
 </REGION>
</REPT1_REPORT>

 

For the name data, I would like to produce something like this:

 

    <EE_NAME>
     <EE_FIRST>minnie              </EE_FIRST>
     <EE_MIDDLE>m                   </EE_MIDDLE>
     <EE_LAST>mouse               </EE_LAST>
    </EE_NAME>

 

Here's some code snippets:

  REGION                   1   1  A 
  BRANCH                   2  15  A 
  DEPT                    17   3  A 
  EMPLOYEE_NAME           20  60  A 
    EE_FIRST              20  20  A 
    EE_MIDDLE             40  20  A 
    EE_LAST               60  20  A 

.

.

.

REPORT REPT1 PRINTER REPORT1 XML            
CONTROL REGION BRANCH                       
 LINE 01 DEPT EE_FIRST EE_MIDDLE EE_LAST    

 

I tried doing this:

 LINE 01 DEPT EMPLOYEE_NAME

That just concatenated the name into 1 field of EMPLOYEE_NAME. 

 

Thanks

Hello Sarah,
 
This is Ralf from CA Easytrieve support. 
Can you try:
LINE 01 DEPT '<EE_NAME>' EE_FIRST EE_MIDDLE EE_LAST '<EE_NAME>' 
and let me know whether it meets your needs, please?
I tested it on z/OS using CA Easytrieve 11.6 + maintenance and the result looks as follows here:
...
<REPT1_REPORT>                                                 
<REGION REGION='2'>                                            
<BRANCH BRANCH='lone tree      '>                              
<REPT1>                                                        
<DEPT>fff</DEPT>                                               
<EE_NAME>                                                      
<EE_FIRST>goofy               </EE_FIRST>                      
<EE_MIDDLE>steve               </EE_MIDDLE>                    
<EE_LAST>thompson            </EE_LAST>                        
<EE_NAME>                                                      
...          
 
Thanks and regards,
Ralf
