<h1 class="topictitle1">Using XPCML</h1>
<div><p>Using XPCML is similar to using PCML. The following steps serve
as a general outline for the actions that you need to perform to use XPCML.</p>
<div class="section"><ol><li>Use XPCML to describe the specification for the program call</li>
<li>Create a ProgramCallDocument object</li>
<li>Use ProgramCallDocument.callProgram() to run the program</li>
</ol>
<p>Despite the similarities to using PCML, using XPCML offers enhanced
functionality:</p>
<ul><li>Have the parser automatically validate parameter values</li>
<li>Specify and pass values for program parameters</li>
<li>Retrieve the results of a program call to your iSeries™ server in XPCML</li>
<li>Transform an existing PCML document into the equivalent XPCML document</li>
<li>Extend the XPCML schema to define new simple and complex elements and
attributes</li>
</ul>
<p>For example, IBM<sup>®</sup> Toolbox for Java™ enables you to extend the XPCML schema
to create new parameter and data types. You can use this XPCML capability
to condense your XPCML source files, which makes the files easier to read
and code easier to use.</p>
<p>For more information about using XPCML, see
the following pages:</p>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzahhxpcmlusingregconvert.htm">Converting existing PCML to XPCML</a></strong><br />
The ProgramCallDocument class contains the transformPCMLToXPCML method that enables you to transform existing PCML documents to equivalent XPCML documents.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzahhxpcmlusingregcreate.htm">Using XPCML to call a program on your iSeries server</a></strong><br />
After you create your XPCML file, you need to create a ProgramCallDocument
object that can use the XPCML specifications and data values to call a program
on your iSeries server.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzahhxpcmlusingregobtain.htm">Obtaining program call results as XPCML</a></strong><br />
After you call a server program, you can use ProgramCallDocument.getValue
methods to retrieve the Java objects that represent program parameter
values. </li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzahhxpcmlusingregpass.htm">Passing in parameter values as XPCML</a></strong><br />
You can set the values for program parameters in the XPCML source file and pass in the parameter values as XPCML.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzahhxpcmlusingcon.htm">Using condensed XPCML</a></strong><br />
Because XPCML is extensible, you can define new parameter types that extend those specified by the XPCML schema. Condensing XPCML extends the XPCML schema to create new data type definitions that simplify and improve the readability and usability of your XPCML documents.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzahhxpcmlusingerrors.htm">Identifying parse errors in XPCML</a></strong><br />
When validating XPCML schema documents, a fully validating XML parser may generate warnings, non-fatal parse errors, and fatal parse errors.</li>
