Re: Good way to identify malformed XML?

I'm not sure when it was introduced, but at least on 7.4 there's a keyword on the D-spec, e.g.

DCL-S MYBLOB SQLTYPE(BLOB:500);

or

D MYBLOB S SQLTYPE(BLOB:500)

You can move big amounts of data (up to 2 GB) it into SQL Global Variables.
When trying to move the data into a SQL Global Variable with Data Type XML,
you can directly use the XMLPARSE.
Alternatively you can try to insert the XML document into a (temporary)
table with an XML column. When inserting it is not even necessary to
execute
the XMLPARSE. The insert will fail for an non-wellformed XML document.
