Hi.
I am new to WMQI, and I have a question on XML messages.
Here is the scenario...
I have multiple XML messages, each tagged with a different XML root name. However, each of these messages share a similarity in having the same fields under a particular 'header'.
Here is the structure of the message...
<XMLRootName> <-- Different for all my XML messages
<Header> <-- Same
<TCode>01</TCode> <-- Same
...
...
...
Here is the problem. I am trying to access the TCode value in the message, but how do I so? I understand that usually it will just be 'XMLRootName.Header.TCode', but it does not work in this case since all my messages are having different XML root names!
I have tried 'InputBody.*[1].Header.TCode' and it works. However, it will not work when there are additional fields before the XML root name (this applies to those '<?xml version="1.0"?>' and '<!--MRM Generated XML Output on...--> fields).
So how do I address this issue? Is there an alternative method?
Thanks.

Try the following code 'InputBody.*[LAST].Header.TCode'
I hope this help you.
Cheers,

But that will point to the last field in the message. I'm trying to point to the first field under 'header'. Thanks.

You are right, InputBody.*[LAST] will point to the last field in the XML message. Let see an example without header and with header.
1.- Without header: your message should look like
<XMLRootName> <-- Different for all my XML messages
<Header> <-- Same
<TCode>01</TCode> <-- Same
...
...
</XMLRootName>
Then InputBody.*[LAST] will refer to XMLRootName
2.- With header: your message should look like
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<XMLRootName> <-- Different for all my XML messages
<Header> <-- Same
<TCode>01</TCode> <-- Same
...
...
</XMLRootName>
Then InputBody.*[LAST] will refer again to XMLRootName
I hope this clarify you something. Tell me if it does not help you.
Cheers,

lillo,
Thanks for trying to help me here, but...
I am trying to refer to the 'TCode' field, not the 'XMLRootName'.
<?xml version="1.0"?> <-- may not be present in message
<XMLRootName>
<Header>
<TCode>01</Tcode> <-- present in all messages, i am trying to refer to this field
</Header>
... <-- all the other fields in the message, varies in length for all the messages
...
...
</XMLRootName>
So I don't think I can use InputBody.*[LAST] here...
