I have to map a XML message to a COBOL copy book

The Inout XML is
<AA><BB>2004-05-31</BB><CC>2004-05-31T13:05:15</CC><DD>118.12</DD></AA>

The Copybook has 3 packed decimal fields
05 WW
10 XX PIC 9(05) COMP-3.
10 YY PIC S9(11)V99 COMP-3.
10 ZZ PIC 9(04)V9 COMP-3.

I think the esql should look like:

SET OuputRoot.MRM.WW.XX = InputRoot.XML.AA.BB...
SET OuputRoot.MRM.WW.YY = InputRoot.XML.AA.cc...
SET OuputRoot.MRM.WW.ZZ = InputRoot.XML.AA.DD...

I need the help on the InputRoot side. Do I need to cast the characters inside the XML tag ? I can not find castiing between character to packed decimal. Any suggestion ?

Normally, you don't need to CAST to get Packed Decimal, because you would only be trying to move numeric values into the field.

However, in your case, you are trying to put Dates and Times that contain characters other than numerics. So, you will have to use SUBSTRING to ensure that you only have the numeric characters before you SET the Output fields.

Cheers,
