Re: CPE3460 with XML-INTO over empty file

Good idea - I'll keep that in mind. At this time, I've added ON-ERROR sections and am sending an email with information from the PSDS. There are 4 status codes that XML-INTO reports, so I have something for those, plus a general one for unknown errors = that's where this one lands.

I'm still curious about why this error occurs - I think it's a bug for XML-INTO to raise this error and not handle it nicely with a status code.

I could find no documentation that would tell me to expect this error.

Vernon,

you can use the stat64 procedure to determind the number of bytes in the
file

It is put into the IFS by a process on a Windows box, related to an
accounts receivable application - the Windows box is internal to our
network. It might be a scheduled job on that box or it might be
scheduled using UC4.

It was decided that this XML file would be sent, even if there is no
information to send. But I had thought there would at least be XML
header - never tested it with absolutely 0 bytes in the file!

I have to say that I think that AR app is rather stupid - for many
reasons - and getting that to change is something the project leaders
decided not to pursue, as it just wouldn't happen. Since when does a
company let a software package decide what information you can pass back
and forth? What your business requirements can be? Should not your
data/business needs have precedence? Sigh!

We are using XML-INTO to process a file from an external source.

This morning, the XML file was completely empty - no XML header, no
DOCTYPE, nada, zip, nullo, etc.

We got a CPE3460 "Storage allocation request failed." message.

Is it trying to allocate 0 bytes? :) Is this expected behavior?

I did see a couple hits in Google about this message and XML-INTO for
v5r4 and 6.1 - we are on 7.1 and pretty current.

I can live with it, am using a monitor around the XML-INTO section.
There are ON-ERROR sections for status 351, 352, 353, and 354 - this one
had status of 9999.
