Your HelloXML program seems to work with me. I have the following in the
joblog:





XML Event XML Text

START-OF-DOCUMENT             <?xml version="1.0" encoding

="ibm-37"?> <msg type="succinct">Hello, World!</msg>

VERSION-INFORMATION           1.0

ENCODING-DECLARATION          ibm-37

START-OF-ELEMENT              msg

ATTRIBUTE-NAME                type

ATTRIBUTE-CHARACTERS          succinct

CONTENT-CHARACTERS            Hello, World!

END-OF-ELEMENT                msg

END-OF-DOCUMENT
