Validating the XML document against the schema

Aaru · Posted: Thu Mar 06, 2008 9:01 pm

Hi,

The input file to our appln is an XML document and we use PARSE to convert it to COBOL and then generate the final XML document by XML GENERATE command.

Now the requirement is to validate the XML document against the schema before sending it to the front end. Basically we will have to check
whether the generated XML document conforms to the schema. Any pointers would be of great help.

Please throw some light on this.

You'll either need to write something yourself or find a product to purchase to validate the output from the XML GENERATE command. Cobol has no built in method to check an XML doc against a schema.

I don't know how to write it. There is probably something out there that tells how to do it manually. From that you'll need to write code.
