Recently I’ve got a question from a customer related to the PARSE statement introduced with Natural 6. The following simle program parses an XML file - here a WSDL file and displays the xml-path etc.
The code and the WSDL file is included below however you may parse other XML files…
I hope you find this example program useful. 8)
With best regards,
Michael Muenster
