path

The path option specifies the path to the element as it appears in the XML document, with elements separated by forward slashes. For example, if this option is path=main/info/name, the parser will expect the document element to be "main", a child of "main" to be "info", and a child of "info" to be "name". If no element can be found, the operation will fail with status 00353 (XML does not match RPG variable).
Note: The value of the "allowmissing" option has no effect on this situation.
Note: The path option is required when %HANDLER is used to specify an array-handling procedure.
Default: When the path option is not specified, the search for the XML element matching the RPG variable depends on the type of the variable.
Note:
  1. If the variable is a qualified subfield, only the name of the subfield is used in determining the path to the XML variable. For example, if the variable is DS.SUB1, the default is to expect the outermost XML element to be called "sub1".
  2. The path specified by this option is case sensitive. It must be in the same case as the matching elements in the XML document unless the case option is also specified.
