Re: [xml] VMS and Including Schemas

[marc tomlinson uk bnpparibas com]

Thanks for the advice.

I found that using 3 (three) '/' worked.

ie
  <xs:include schemaLocation="file:///xml%24d_com/bnd2ML.xsd"/>

Marc:

Assuming you're using a recent version of OpenVMS (7.2 or higher) with
recent C RTL, you should try using Unix file specifications.
Something along the lines of:

  <xs:include schemaLocation="file://xml$d_com/bnd2ML.xsd"/>

However, if I read the specs correctly, $ is a reserved character so
you may have to escape it (or use a different logical):

  <xs:include schemaLocation="file://xml%24d_com/bnd2ML.xsd"/>

The C RTL will transparently convert the unix specifications into VMS,
including translating the logical name.  I haven't tried this
specifically with LIBXML, but I rarely find C programs where this
doesn't work.

See the C RTL Reference for information about how the RTL translates
unix file specations.
