Hi,

I was going through some of the notes that had been sent earlier on this topic but I think I have a slightly different question (I think).

Lets take the example below.

I have a layout in COBOL as follows:

01 AID
02 A PIC....
02 B PIC....

Using GENERATE XML statement, I create the XML given below.

<AID>
<A>1111111</A>
<B>ALFA</B>
<AID>

However, my requirement is to get the type of XML given below. Is this possible through COBOL? Can anyone provide a link or manual? I went through the IBM manual but could not find this type of example.

<AID="A_1">
<A>1111111</A>
<B tc="1">ALFA</B>
<AID>

maybe this Enterprise COBOL programmers guide, which in section 5.2.2 talks about enhancing your output.

Kolusu,

What I want is something like this

<Holding id="Hold1">
<Pol>12345</Pol>
</Holding>
<Holding id="Hold2">
<Pol>68999</Pol>
</Holding>

Is there a XML COBOL command to add the id="Hold1" inside the tag?

So the rule is that for multiple Holding, the Hold* will increase by 1.
