Re: XMLSERVICE and Parsing XML Responses

Hi,
Your & needs to be replaced with &amp like an apostrophe needs to bereplaced with &apos.
I use an RPG program to scan all text strings and rebuild with the required XML codes.

The & should be encoded.  Your parser is looking for the representation

I run into this all the time with XML and different trading partners.
There's never one that works like the other, or that doesn't need special
attention and data "massaging" before I can run it through a parser.

Not sure if this is specific to .Net, but when parsing returned XMLSERVICE
XML data that contains an ampersand.

Example:  "A & E Services"  I get a .Net XML parser error.

If I replace the ampersand with something else it works fine.

Has anyone else seen this issue with XMLSERVICE or even parsing data that
contains special characters that aren't encoded ?

Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks
