You get x'40' because the UTF-8 is converted into EBCDIC where x'40'
is equalt to ASCII/UTF-8 x'20'

Try to change your test to *BLANKS

I have a XML document on the IFS. CCSID is 1208.
A cut-down version of the file may be...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <PURCHASEORDER> <HEADER>
<HEADERNOTES> </HEADERNOTES> </HEADER> </PURCHASEORDER>

...this structure is defined as follows...

<PURCHASEORDER> <HEADER> <HEADERNOTES> <POHDRNOTE></POHDRNOTE>
</HEADERNOTES> </HEADER> </PURCHASEORDER>

In the RPGLE, this is defined as follows: -
D PO DS Qualified Inz
D Dim( POIdxMax )
D Header...
D LikeDS( Header_t )
D Header_t...
D DS Qualified
D Based( Template )
D HeaderNotes...
D LikeDS( HeaderNotes_t )
D HeaderNotes_t...
D DS Qualified
D Based( Template )
D POHdrNote...
D 50c Inz
D Dim( POHdrNteIdxMax )
read as follows...

options = 'doc=file + path=Update/member/PurchaseOrder
+ case=any + allowextra=yes
+ allowmissing=yes';
xml-into PO %xml( xmlfile : options );

When the POHdrNote data is not present in the XML, I expect the
PO(x).Header.HeaderNotes.POHdrNote(x) data field to contain blanks.
However, when I look at the hex values of the field in debug, the hex
value is all 40s (I would expect hex values of all 20s for unicode ?).
When I test in the program whether the data is *Blank, the test gives me
the wrong result.
Why am I getting hex value of 40s rather than 20s when the data tags are
missing from the XML ?
Thanks.
