Problem:
To generate Cobol records that contain XML syntax extensions , the customer uses the format
cbl2xml XMLschema .
Cbl2xml may generate a data structure like:
04 act identified by "act" count in act-count.
05 MyName PIC X(90) identified by "MyName" .
..........
05 more identified by "more".
06 MyName PIC X(90) identified by "MyName".
When coding
MOVE "Harry" to MyName of act.
The following compiler error message is returned:
COBCH0005S User-name MyName not unique
The identifier MyName at the 05-level cannot be used in the COBOL-program, because there is no way for a proper qualification of this MyName.
Resolution:
This is NOT a special problem of XML - any COBOL data would not be qualifyable, because there is no way to enforce a full qualification.
The option -unique of the cbl2xml must be used .
cbl2xml XMLschema -unique
The generated data structure is :
04 act identified by "act" count in act-count.
05 MyName PIC X(90) identified by "MyName" .
..........
05 more identified by "more".
06 MyName-01 PIC X(90) identified by "MyName".
