Just testing the waters on creating XML output from some flat files.
Choice is to use XML GENERATE command or hand-code.

Are there any known problems with XML GENERATE? Frequently with a lot
of IBM's newer releases there are teething problems.

Would like some input from people who are using this in a production
environment.

Bill Klein has given you an excellent reference, there are also SHARE
presentations on and including the topic of XML GENERATE in IBM's
Enterprise COBOL.

Where I work, we use XML GENERATE in a production environment. Our
difficulties and how we worked around them were presented at SHARE in
San Diego is session 8247, starting at (I believe) slide 32. Seehttp://shareew.prod.web.sba.com/proceedingmod/index.cfm.

You might also be interested in session 8236 presented in Tampa Bay.

Both of these are currently available to the public, but I don't know
how long it will be before you will need a SHARE userID and password
to access them.

In my experience, the feature works as documented.

Thanks all, just what I wanted to know. My company's investment in
IBM Big Iron is significant enough and growing that, it is unlikely
they will change platforms. But thanks for pointing it out, we will
put the XML generation part in a different program.
For instance I understand that the DataPower appliance can convert
unformatted flat file text to XML using copybooks very efficiently.
So if we decide to "farm out" XML generation from the application
programs, we just need to remove the program from the job.
