Hi Rolf, at the Boston Natural Conference in 2008 we discussed the lack of a utility in the EntireX workbench that would allow a user to map selected fields from an XML schema to a PDA. We both agreed that providing users the ability to select individual fields from an XML schema would offer much more flexibility that the map everything in the schema to a PDA functionality at that time (i.e. EXX721). I believe you stated you were going to enter this idea as a change enhancement to R&D. What ever became of that suggestion? Thanks for the update.

Hi Dave,

yes, we have the requirement XML Schema Extractor and Mapping an IDL File to an existing Natural subprogram with the internal id EXX-410 in our requirements list. Until now it didn’t make it into the product but it has a pretty high priority in the current backlog. However, for the next version I can’t promise anything at the moment.
