Re: XML Parser Error 12

[Scott Klement <rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dutch,

This isn't a valid XML document.  This looks like the result you'd get 
if you opened an XML document in a web browser, then copy/pasted from 
the display into a file and saved it to disk.

The problem that causes is that the web browser adds expand/collapse 
icons to the left-hand side of the display.  They look like little + or 
- signs -- and when you copy/paste that into a file, you add the little 
symbols to your XML

In your example (which is quoted below) you'll see that there's a - 
(minus) symbol in between the <?xml?> processing information and the 
<TransactionSet> tag -- this is not allowed by XML standards.

If you remove those, it should parse, unless you also have a CCSID problem.

It's important to understand that XML-INTO/XML-SAX ignore the 
'encoding="UTF-8"' that's at the top of the XML document.  Instead, they 
use the CCSID that's configured in the file description on disk.  So you 
should make sure that the CCSID on the actual disk file is set to the 
proper encoding for your data.  (And, make sure you know what that 
encoding is!)
