XML Encapsulation of Types 1 and 2 Responses

All data returned from an IMS Type 2 command is encapsulated within XML framing, much of which is not pertinent to viewing the desired results. By default, IMS Type2 command support will present only what is considered significant, thus reducing the number of created variables.

To make the complete collection of XML frames into variables, specify XML(YES) on the ADDRESS OPER command.

Examples 1 and 2 below illustrate the difference. In both examples, the stem name prefix defaults to IMSTYPE2.

For more information on XML usage in IMS Type 2 output, see the IBM manual SC18-9967, IMS V10 System Programming API Ref section "Descriptions of XML Tags Returned as CSL OM Response."
