If you have COBOL installed on your HP3000, there's a package called XML
Thunder from Canam Software (http://www.canamsoftware.com) that will do what
you want.

Here's an excerpt from their web site:

This innovative development tool lets you generate COBOL code that can
create and parse XML documents.
When a COBOL application needs to get the content of an XML document for
processing, the XML document needs to be parsed so the values of the XML
nodes can be accessed using regular COBOL variables. And conversely, when an
application has to create an XML document, the COBOL program needs to use
the values of COBOL variables to create a well-formed XML document.
XML Thunder solves the complexities involved with the development of COBOL
logic to create and parse XML documents. 


We used it to take an XML message, extract the data into a COBOL copybook,
process it and write an XML message back - all within COBOL programs on the
HP3000.
