Hi Jim,

In my EXPAT_H copy book, I named the constant XML_ENC_UTF8, because you
can't put a dash in an RPG variable name. It's not possible to make a
constant or variable named XML_ENC_UTF-8 in RPG.

But, yes, it means UTF-8 (Which is the official name).

Not sure where in the Information Center it says that "UTF8" and "UTF-8"
mean something different. Can you provide me with a link?

I am still confused by sometimes seeing "UTF-8" and in your code "UTF8"..

XML_ParserCreate(XML_ENC_UTF8);

In the infocenter (under encoding) it seemed to treat these as different
definitions. Any differences?
