Input Message

Code:

<Base>
<Parent first="Y">
   <Child>Alpha</Child>
   <Child>Beta</Child>
</Parent>
<Parent first="N">
   <Child>Apple</Child>
   <Child>Bravo</Child>
</Parent>
<Parent>
   <Child>Apple</Child>
   <Child>Bravo</Child>
</Parent>
</Base>

when putting in an if statement to look for first='Y' what is the preferred method? and why?

Code:

--Method A
IF InputRoot.XML.Base.Parent.(XML.Attribute)first = 'Y' THEN

--Method B
IF (InputRoot.XML.Base.Parent.(XML.Attribute)first) = 'Y' THEN

--Method C
IF InputRoot.XML.Base.Parent.(XML.Attribute)first IS NOT NULL THEN
IF CAST(InputRoot.XML.Base.Parent.(XML.Attribute)first AS CHAR) = 'Y' THEN

The one that works is preferred by me.
