We were using a third party application to process them, but when we switched over to MX, it no longer works. I found out how to use the xmlparse function to work with my xml file. But after I do some processing to the data in the structure, I want to write it out to a file. When I do this, I am not getting the xml back. How do I convert the XML back to a string before I write it to the drive? Thanks!
