QCDRCMDD generates bad XML??

["David Gibbs" <dgibbs@xxxxxxx>]

Folks:

I'm trying to work with V5R1 Websphere Development Studio Client for iSeries
using the command prompter.

Some of the commands I try to invoke from the client don't prompt properly.

The commonality between the commands is that there is a quote mark '"' in
the parameter prompt text.

Turns out that WDSC uses QCDRCMDD to extract the command definition into
XML.  Unfortunately, the XML that is being generated is invalid.

The fragment of XML that is causing problems is this:
<Parm Kwd="QUOTE" PosNbr="1" KeyParm="NO" Type="CHAR" Min="0" Max="1"
Prompt="This parm contains "quotes"" Len="10" Rstd="NO" AlwUnprt="YES"
AlwVar="YES" Expr="NO" Full="NO" DspInput="YES" Choice="Character value">

Obviously the prompt value is invalid, because of the quote marks.

We're working with someone at IBM on the problem, but he isn't experiencing
it.

Our iSeries is running V5R1M0 (obviously) with the latest cume package.

I used Bruce Vining's example for extracting a command definition to XML at
http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l/200206/msg00411.html to collect my
data.

Has anyone experienced anything similar?

Thanks!
