<snip> We have XML file that is send by the customer, we need to alter the XML file and send it back to 3'rd party . Here is the xml file
<SSN>123604299</SSN>.. <SSNFormatted>123-60-4299</SSNFormatted> The altered format need to be like the one below <TIN>123604399</TIN>.. The SSNFormatted tag is removed & TIN is the one we need to send across to the 3'rd party. </snip> Trying again to bypass Tumbleweed Messenger. Martin, I think we need a bit more info: (1) Is this a one-time request, or will it need to be repeated? (2) How do the XML documents arrive: SOAP web service requests, file transfer, email, etc.? (3) How do they need to be sent to the third party? (4) What are the rules for transforming a SSN value into a TIN value? (5) What is your preference in terms of processing platform? Depending on the answers to these questions, the answer could involve the COBOL XML PARSER, the DotNet DocumentObjectModel (DOM), an outboard XML appliance, or the ISPF Editor.
