Re: SAX XML Parsing Error code 6

There has to be something else adrift with your XML document. I just tried to process this:

<Chars>
<apos>&apos;</apos>
<amp>&amp;</amp>
<lt>&lt;</lt>
<gt>&gt;</gt>
<quot>&quot;</quot>
</Chars>

And it works perfectly.

Here's the code if you want to play with it yourself. If you run this and still have an error then perhaps you are missing a PTF or something.

dcl-ds Chars;
apos char(1);
amp char(1);
lt char(1);
gt char(1);
quot char(1);
end-ds;

dcl-s wait char(11) Inz('Press Enter');

dcl-s XMLSource varchar(256)
Inz('/Home/Paris/xmltest.xml');

xml-into Chars %xml(XMLSource:
'case=any doc=file');

Dsply ('Chars = [' + Chars + ']') ' ' wait;

*inlr = *on;

Thanks for the quick response Vernon!

But i have the character entities (&amp;) in below tag not just &) then why
it is giving me error i don't know. If it is giving error for characters
entities also why it is not giving error for *&lt;*

Also if you see my tag below (at end) i have not used character entities (
*&apos;* , *&quot;*) for single quote and double quote but it is working.
The only problem in below tag is &amp if i remove all working fine.

In addition, when you get the error, I believe you might have the
position where the error occurred somewhere in the message text or
second-level text.

You can google for "XML entities" - there are 5 - quot, amp, apos, lt,
and gt - they are rendered in a document in the format &name;

These characters all have special meaning in XML, so they cannot be on
their own in a string, then need either to be rendered using the
entity or in Unicode code point - for example, quot is U+0022, so you
put &# before 0022 and ; after it - see one of the articles in that
google search for more information.

Hi All,

Could you please help me on this ?

I am getting parsing error ' The parser found an invalid character in
element content. ' when i am trying to parse below Tag and when i
manually
remove *&amp; *it is working fine. *&amp; *and* &lt; *are valid right
? i
believe having only & is the problem.

<packslipMessage>*Character@ .°¢⠢&amp;èé⠬-á&lt; "'Test*
</packslipMessage>

it is <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

it would be great if someone tell me that what are special characters
are
illegal so that i can tell my host system not to send those characters.
