Can you please assist.

 

Below is a sample from an xml we are trying to read. We don’t have the mapper for it and any other for that matter.

Currently we run a library pointing to the http file as below. We then run a proc dataset which gives us the datasets that are in the library. Each <item#> tags are basically rows which SAS interprets as a dataset. So if there are 1000 rows (<item0> to <item999>), it means there would be 1000 datasets to read, and hence means hitting the database a 1000 times. 

 

Could you please help us with a better way of reading this, hopefully a way that will allow us to read all rows once.

 

Libname wsdl xml92 "http://ncss/Webservice/capacity/method/xml/day/&DATE";

Once you got these tables, you can combine them all together into a table.

filename x temp;
libname xx xmlv2 '/folders/myfolders/temp.xml' xmlmap=x automap=replace;

data want;
 set xx.item: ;
run;
