Hi,
We are planning to generate XML using Cobol's XML GENERATE but couple of our tags are of COBOL Keywords (like "SOURCE", "ID", "MESSAGE") and it is giving a error. Is there anyway we can override this limitation and still use Cobol keywords tags using XML GENERATE? Please let me know when you got a chance. Thanks much for your time.

Regards,
Ravi

karavi2000,

Use an Inspect to replace the keywords with something else and after the conversion replace it back using another Inspect.

Thanks Kolusu.. I was thinking on the lines if there is a way we can define certain COBOL keywords as variables for specific occasions.. but it seems there is none.. yours is a neat and simple turnaround to the problem.. we ended up using it.. Thanks again..
