Because you were not willing to invest a bit of time . . .

I simply searched for cxml and got 15million+ hits in a second or so. . .

Here is a description from one of them:
Commerce XML (cXML) is a standard for the online exchange of business transaction information in common formats. It defines the structure of purchase orders, order acknowledgements, and other core e-business documents. cXML is a document type definition (DTD) based on XML tags that defines fields for a specific type of document, like a purchase order. The XML structure enables an application program to easily extract data and deliver it to another application program.

Thanks...

May be my question was not very clear. What I need is ways to use CXML in a Cobol program: syntaxes, examples and descriptions. I have to prepare a doucumnet on how to use CXML in cobol batch and online programs...

Nope, the requirement has changed from the first post to this one. . .
I found below code in a program which I have to edit.
If this is in a currently running program, whoever maintains this program should know how it works. . .

To better learn how this program works, suggest you make a copy of the probgram you found and run some experiments.
Have a good one
