Input Requirements

SERXMLBC reads an XML request message at DD statement XMLIN. Requirements for input include:

  • The input file is a sequential data set, PDS member, or PDSE member.

  • DCB requirements for file are flexible, but the following is suggested to accommodate long tags:

        RECFM=VB
    LRECL=255

  • Request messages must be formatted with one tag per record.

  • Tag indenting is allowed (leading spaces are X’40’), but indenting is not required and no information is conveyed by indenting.
