XML and COBOL

Intended for

COBOL programmers who have to modify COBOL programs towards processing XML documents.

Background

A thorough COBOL knowledge (see COBOL programming - part 1), familiarity with structured programming (see Data-structured programming) and SQL (see SQL fundamentals) and a thorough XML knowledge (see XML fundamentals).

Training method

Most of the time is spent on practical exercises.

Course leader

Peter Vanroose.

Duration

1 day.

Schedule

No public sessions are currently scheduled. We will be pleased to set up an on-site course or to schedule an extra public session (in case of a sufficient number of candidates). Interested ? Please contact ABIS.

Objectives

At the end of this course, the participant will

  • have an insight in the possibilities and the techniques to adapt existing COBOL programs in order to work immediately with XML files;
  • have sufficient experience to adapt an existing COBOL application in order to produce XML documents with e.g. DB2 data;
  • have an insight in the possibilities to generate COBOL programs given an XML schema.

Main topics

  • The generation of XML documents from a COBOL program
  • How to read XML documents by means of the SAX model
  • The determination of an interface to a SAXHandler
  • Reading documents by means of the DOM model
  • The generation of COBOL programs by using XSLT
  • A SAX Filestream combined with a DOM structure
