Yes. I need to produce an XML document that conforms to a supplied XSD
in terms of formatting etc. Is there a way to do this in SAS at all?
The output has lots of fields and I dont want to do this manually. If
I cant do it in SAS, is there a free, idiot proof way of doing it?

Cheers for your help,
