Research direction

Start with the pcml branch and the existing QBNRPII retrieval work. Decide whether to use expat or libxml2 for parsing the PCML XML, then determine the required generated structures and function wrappers. Done means PCML can be parsed and wrappers for RPG/COBOL programs can be generated.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

Useful for generating wrappers to call RPG/COBOL programs. ILE C doesn't emit PCML, and no system APIs have it.

Branch: pcml

  • Use QBNRPII to retrieve PCML
  • Parse XML (what C++ library for this? Or just use expat/libxml2?)
  • Generate structures and function wrappers
