What exactly do you get in DEBUG in eval pohdrnote:x is it 40404040
40404040 or
00400040 00400040 ?

Thanks. This does work and provides a workaround for now.
However, I still don't understand why comparing to *Blank, *Blanks, '
', or %ucs2(' ') doesn't work as I thought that the comparison of
different string data types in now acceptable.

The default for trim-constant depends on the data type of
string-expression:
- A DBCS blank if string-expression is a DBCS graphic string. For
the CCSID determines the hex value that represents a DBCS blank. Forx'40'
example, for Japanese (CCSID 301), X'8140' represents a DBCS blank,
while for Simplified Chinese, X'A1A1'represents a DBCS blank. For
EBCDIC, X'4040' represents a DBCS blank.
- A UTF-16 or UCS-2 blank (X'0020') if string-expression is a Unicode
graphic string.
- A value of X'00' if string-expression is a binary string.
- Otherwise, a single byte blank. For EBCDIC, X'40' represents a blank.
When not EBCDIC, X'20' represents a blank.
So IBM leaves it as graphic 'blanks'
Work around:
if string = u'4040' or string = u'0020';

I'd already tried that - no joy.will remain unchanged.
I guess that %ucs2(' ') will convert to hex 20, whereas my data
field contains hex 40 following the XML-INTO. Plus, as far as I can
tell, it shouldn't be required to convert ' ' to ucs2. Implicit
conversions take place when comparing different string data types.
My problem seems to be that prior to the XML-INTO, my data field
contains all hex 20 (which is what I would expect). After XML-INTO,
even though the XML tag doesn't exist, my data field contains all
hex 40. It has been changed, whereas the IBM documentation states
that it

Seems like an IBM bug ?

The unicode hex value for blank are u'0020'
This should work
if string = %ucs2(' ');

Sean,
if they are defined as Unicode (UCS2 that nearly equals UTF-16) so
all fields are DBCS since UTF-8 isn't supported in RPGLE or DB2.
UTF-8 is a little special because it shares x'00'-x'7F' with ASCII
- all other characters are encoded in a 2 to 4 byte "UNIT" where
UTF-16 has all characters in a fixed 2 byte representation and
UTF-32 has a fixed 4 byte representation.
So when dealing with UTF-8 it has to be converted into EBCDIC or
UCS2 in order to be read in the ROGLE program and/or stored in a
DB2
20s.

Henrik,
Yes, I realise hex 40 is blank in EBCDIC, but none of my fields
are defined as character. My fields are defined as Unicode. When
I view the hex value prior to the XML-INTO operation, the value
is all
After the XML-INTO, the hex value is all 40s. But the XML-INTO
is reading into a Unicode field. Plus, the IBM documentation
states that if the XML tag is missing, and allowmissing=yes is
used, the data will be the same value as prior to the XML-INTO.
Testing for *BLANK or *BLANKS will make no difference.

You get x'40' because the UTF-8 is converted into EBCDIC where
blanks.is equalt to ASCII/UTF-8 x'20'
Try to change your test to *BLANKS

I have a XML document on the IFS. CCSID is 1208.
A cut-down version of the file may be...

In the RPGLE, this is defined as follows: -

When the POHdrNote data is not present in the XML, I expect
the

the hex value is all 40s (I would expect hex values of all 20s
for unicode
http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l.When I test in the program whether the data is *Blank, the
test gives me the wrong result.
Why am I getting hex value of 40s rather than 20s when the
data tags are missing from the XML ?
Thanks.
