Keep in mind the following when coding
your processing procedures:
- An XML processing procedure must not contain any EXIT PROGRAM or GOBACK
statements.
- You can use ALTER, GO TO, and PERFORM statements in the processing procedure
to transfer control to procedure-names outside the processing procedure. However,
control must return to the processing procedure after a GO TO or PERFORM statement.
- A processing procedure can contain a CALL statement. The target program
can contain an XML PARSE statement.
The ILE COBOL Programmer's
Guide provides details on
using the XML PARSE statement and processing procedures.
