Dear NATURAL experts,

Do you know if it is possible to create XML messages with Adabas Natural on mainframes or by using SPoD?

With best regards,

Hi Vikas,

This is not a mainframe/SPOD question. Yuo can easily create XML just by compressing tags and data together into a string. Natural also provides syntax that will aid you in handling XML data.

Please see [http://techcommunity.softwareag.com/ecosystem/documentation/natural/nat426mf2/pg/pg\_xml.htm](http://techcommunity.softwareag.com/ecosystem/documentation/natural/nat426mf2/pg/pg_xml.htm) for more information on this topic.

Regds,

Brian

Hi,

I think you can also use the xml toolkit which is available on Mainframe and also from NaturalONE.

Best regards,
