Reading in XML data

deleted_user — Wed, 21 May 2008 16:54:22 GMT

I have been reading around in the doc and experimenting, but I'm not getting anywhere useful.

Sample data =
[pre]

[/pre]

The documentation says to use a libname statement followed by a data step.
mine is
[pre]
LIBNAME xml_in xml "&BaseRP/User/Chuck/Projects/Server/app_1021215380_157_20080519.pdml";

data egtask.indata;
xml_in.proto;
run;
quit;
[/pre]
but I keep getting an error
[pre]
ERROR: DATA STEP Component Object failure. Aborted during the COMPILATION phase.
NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.
16 data egtask.indata;
17 xml_in.proto;
____________
557
ERROR 557-185: Variable xml_in is not an object.
[/pre]
So, before I try tech support, anyone out there with experience with this?
I doing this with a Code task in EG 4.1

Did you intentionally leave off the keyword set?

set xml_in.proto;
