XML-INTO issue with RPGLE data structure

Working on a program to read XML to RPG for the first time. I'm not getting the data into my DS and when I try to view the subfields I get Identifier does not exist.

This is part of the sample xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> 
<PRINTING> 
<HDR CW_DEPT_CD="736" CW_FILE_ID="W105B22355001" 
 CW_UNIT_CD="D736" BANK_ACCT_CD="GA" PYMT_DT="12/12/2022" 
 PROC_DT="12/12/2022" CHK_FRMT="GENZ" CHK_FRMT_DSCR="Generic Z-Fold" 
 DISB_CAT="SAM" DISB_CAT_DSCR="Sealed Agency Mailed" 
 DISB_HDLG_CD="null" DISB_HDLG_DSCR="null" STD_TXT="null" 
 BANK_ACCN_NO="936836402" BANK_NO="083000137" 
 DEPT_NM="Department For Community Based Services" 
 UNIT_NM="Department for Community Based Services" PERMIT_NO="null" 
 CNTAC_CD="76" EXTR_AD_1="ATTN: DAFM/TWIST" 
 EXTR_AD_2="275 East Main Street 3W-C" EXTR_AD_3="null" 
 EXTR_CITY="Frankfort" EXTR_ST="KY" ST_NM="null" EXTR_ZIP="40621" 
 EXTR_CTRY="null" EXTR_EMAIL_AD="null" PH_NO="502-564-3427" 
 PH_EXT="null" FAX_NO="null" />

And here is the program piece.

  dcl-ds HDR DIM(10) Qualified;
     CW_DEPT_CD char(4);         
     CW_FILE_ID  char(20);       
     CW_UNIT_CD  char(4);        
     BANK_ACCT_CD  char(4); ...more fields 

     dcl-ds PYMT_LINE;       
        LN_NO      char(6);    
        VEN_CUST_CD   char(20);
        LGL_NM    char(60);  ... more fields
     end-ds PYMT_LINE;                     
                                        
  end-ds HDR;      
  Eval options = 'path=PRINTING/HDR/PYMT_LINE +                     
                  case=any +                                
                  allowextra=yes +                          
                  allowmissing=yes +                        
                  doc=file +                                
                  datasubf=value';                          
                                                             
  xml-into HDR                                                     
           %XML(Filename:options);   

I appreciate any feedback.

Thanks

Tried everything that I could find.

You have path=PRINTING/HDR/PYMT_LINE, but your data structure matches HDR.

The path should point to the element that matches your data structure, so I think it should just be path=PRINTING/HDR.

Using allowextra=yes and allowmissing=yes is ok when you have your XML-INTO working with that XML, but it can make it difficult to develop a new XML-INTO. With those options, the data structure can completely mismatch the XML document.

So when I'm development a new XML-INTO, I don't code those options. Instead, I make a temporary version of the XML that matches the data structure exactly. Then when I have it working, I might add allowextra=yes if I think the XML might have extra elements.

But I almost never add allowmissing=yes. Instead, I use the countprefix option. Here's a useful article that discusses allowmissing vs countprefix (among other things

I think you should start with a reduced form of your XML and your data structure and get that working. And then gradually add back the XML data and the subfields to match.

For example, start with this XML (I have this in a file xmltest.xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>        
<PRINTING>                                         
<HDR CW_DEPT_CD="736" CW_FILE_ID="W105B22355001" />
</PRINTING>    

And this RPG program:

dcl-ds HDR Qualified;                      
   CW_DEPT_CD char(4);                     
   CW_FILE_ID  char(20);                   
end-ds;                                    
dcl-s options varchar(100);                
                                           
Eval options = 'path=PRINTING/HDR +        
                case=any +                 
                doc=file +                 
                datasubf=value';           
                                           
xml-into hdr %xml('xmltest.xml' : options);
return;
