If you are running a relatively recent release of OS/390 (not MVS) you can use an XML parser written in Java. IBM's java parser is available at alphaworks.ibm.com and supports EBCDIC<->Unicode conversions. You can integrate your COBOL and Java environments thru the file system bridge available with java-OS/390, or via DB/2. There may be other ways of passing data between Java apps and COBOL but someone else will have to speak up. [Also, I have been told that OS/390 should support IBM's C++ XML parser if you install the UNIX-compatibility services.] Good luck!
