Hi Joseph,

So you tried,
FIELDNAME(InputRoot.XML.*[1])
To find out what the name is of the first (and only) child of the XML document?

I suspect that your input document has an xml declaration before the root tag. You need to qualify that path with the type of element that you are seeking.
Something like
| Code: |
| FIELDNAME(InputRoot.XML.(XML.Element)*[1]) |
( not tested ) |

But of course, you really are using InputRoot.XMLNS or InputRoot.XMLNSC because of course you aren't using the deprecated XML parser and of course you are using version 5.x or 6.x and not the unsupported 2.1.

Observe the behaviour in this code snipit:
| Code: |
DECLARE iRootTag INTEGER CARDINALITY(InputRoot.XMLNSC.*[]);
DECLARE szRootTag CHARACTER;
FOR pXML AS InputRoot.XMLNSC.*[] DO
SET szRootTag = FIELDNAME(pXML);
END FOR;
|
You will see that you get two tags. The XML declaration and the one you want. I guess you could always just look at the second element.

Not reliable. Go through the children first level and check the type against the element type. That should always give you the tag on a well formed XML doc.
Enjoy
