RE: QCDRCMDD generates bad XML??

David,

Replace your imbedded quote with: "

And it will work just fine!

I ran into the exact same thing not long ago.

Other values to replace:

                '&' - &
                '<'  - &gt;
                '>' -  &lt;

Subject: QCDRCMDD generates bad XML??

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!

david
