The XML Extensions development system includes the following:
- The
Visual COBOL compiler. The XMLGEN compiler directive generates an XML representation of the COBOL program's WORKING-STORAGE data items
into a model file used by XML Extensions.
- Deployment files. These files are listed in
Deployment.
- Copybooks (lixmlall.cpy,
lixmldef.cpy,
lixmldsp.cpy,
lixmlrpl.cpy, and
lixmltrm.cpy). For more details, see
copybooks.
- Example files. These programs or program fragments illustrate how XML Extensions statements are used. For further information,
see
Appendix A: XML Extensions examples. The example programs can be found in the XML Extensions example directory
Examples.
- Sample files. These self-contained, working application programs, which include the complete source, can be used in your own
applications by modifying or customizing them, as necessary. See
Appendix B: XML Extensions sample application programs for more details. The sample application programs can be found in the XML Extensions sample directory
Samples.
