#52 Grammar issue with XML GENERATE

[Inaki GE]

Hi,
I have detected a grammar issue in Koopa. The "XML GENERATE" transaction, used as way of externalizing the content of a data structure in XML format, is not beiing considered by the grammar.

Here you have a real example of the lines of a file that are the cause of the problem:

[...]
004354 XML GENERATE FWP05-DES-DATOS FROM mensaje
004355 COUNT IN W-CONTADOR
004356 WITH ENCODING W-ENCODING
004357 WITH XML-DECLARATION
[...]

If you need further information do not hesitate to contact me.

Regards.

I extended the grammar in [r205] based on some guesswork from your example.

If you have some documentation on this form of the XML GENERATE statement I would appreciate a link or share.

In any case, please let me know if this works for you.

Hi,
The issue with XML GENERATE statement is fixed in the new version.

I have found the following documentation related to XML GENERATE statement (in the "related tasks" chapter you will find detailed information):

Thank you very much!

Thanks for that. I extended the grammar a bit more to cover the XML GENERATE statement to a larger extent.

Hi,
I don't know why but I have tested the latest version of Koopa and XML GENERATE issue has reappeared.
Find attached the Cobol file with the issue so that you can check it.
Thanks.

It does surprise me that this only showed up in the latest version. I fixed it in [r220], but it seems unrelated to anything I have been working on recently...

In any case, please let me know if this also resolves the issue on your side.
