What's wrong with QUIZ writing a report file to disc in which each tag
is written it its own report line?
Report &
 Skip 1 "<tag1=" dataitem1 ">" &
 Skip 1 "<tag2=" dataitem2 ">" &
Etc.

Subject: [HP3000-L] XML / QTP Question

I have a requirement to produce xml files from our Image databases. 
On the HP3000 we have Cognos Powerhouse products plus whatever ships
as part of the MPE/iX FOS.

I have gotten a prototype xml generator working in QTP but it is a
kludge.  I define each xml tag and contents as a DEFINE and then
write each out to a separate SUBFILE aliased to a single MPE file
name via the INCLUDE statement.  This approach rapidly runs out of
steam for complex data sets due to the restriction that QTP can only
reference a maximum of 31 subfiles per request.

So I need an alternative approach.  Either some guidance on a more
sophisticated use of QTP or QUIZ, although I cannot see how QUIZ
would work.  Or, some alternative method of generating xml files
from Image databases.

Oh yes, this is part of the off-migration so there is no money to
acquire new tools for the HP3000.

Any ideas?
