CXML-GET-CHILD-BY-NAME
The CXML-GET-CHILD-BY-NAME function returns the named child element directly, avoiding you to parse elements one by one.
Syntax:
 CALL "C$XML" USING CXML-GET-CHILD-BY-NAME
                    handle
                    childName
                    childFlags
             GIVING childHandle
Parameters:
CXML-GET-CHILD-BY-NAME
Constant
 
handle
USAGE HANDLE
A XML element handle.
childName
PIC X(n)
It specifies the name of the child element to search.
childFlags
PIC 9(n)
It specifies if the search should consider case. Valid values are:
0 - case sensitive search
1 - case insensitive search
Return code:
childHandle must be a USAGE HANDLE data item. It receives the handle of the found child element or 0 if no child was found. It’s good practice to free this handle with a DESTROY statement before reusing it in order to avoid memory leaks.
