RE: XML-INTO allowmissing=yes unicode

This morning I can confirm that all seems good in the world.

Many thanks to everyone for their help and patience.

As noted previously, I was using an incorrect version of the /copy XML DS member. This didn't have an INZ keyword to initialise the fields.

I can confirm now that when using the INZ keyword on the DS, the before XML-INTO and after XML-INTO values are now as expected.

I think the whole problem has been that the data structure started out with the standard RPG value for an uninitialized data structure, and never got changed from that. It is standard RPG behaviour to initialize a data structure with no INZ to x'40's, no matter what type of subfields there are.

Sean has already said that there are two versions of the data structure in the /copy file, and that the one without INZ was being used.

Sean had intended to have the data structure initialized, and was operating on the assumption that it was initialized. If it had actually been initialized as intendend, I'm sure that there wouldn't have been this apparent problem with XML-INTO.

But maybe it's good that it didn't, because on the systeminetwork version of this thread, I was able to tell Sean about how using the countprefix option is a much better way of handling missing XML data than the allowmissing option.
