OK - to answer your question, you need to add the option doc=file. without this the compiler will assume that the variable xmlfile contains the XML. Since it actually contains the file name that is seen as invalid XML.
Do you always get 10 FamilyTreeMemberRole elements? You haven’t added the countprefix option that I suggested and without it any doc with less than 10 FamilyTreeMemberRole elements will cause an error.
I also can’t help but wonder though _why_ the XML is in a file since it appears to be a web service response you are parsing. Why bother writing it to the IFS ? Just process it when you receive it.
allowmissing=no is the default so you can remove that.
allowextra=yes I would remove unless you know you need it. With it in place if the supplier of the XML were to add elements that you do not cater for you would never know. If you leave it out you’ll get an error if the XML is ever incompatible with what you have coded for.
As to not including code - I do understand - but in most cases (not perhaps in the end in this one) it is a lot easier to get an idea of what someone does and does not understand by looking at their code.
I have been meaning to write that utility for a long time - perhaps you have just inspired me to do so!

Thanks Jon, i changed to allowmissing=no.
I didnt include my code since i wasnt even close. After seeing your code, that belief was confirmed. This is my first XML attemp, so mapping whats coming in to DS is a bit tricky. I wish there was a utiltiy our there that would create the DS templates based on the schema.
Another question if i may. I've been testing this process using a string variable. When i try to use a file located in the ifs, i get a "The XML parser detected error code 302".
Here is my code:
xmlfile = '/dandb/00000002_20160302_rsp_OrderProduct.xml';
options = 'path= soapenv:Envelope/+
soap-env:Body/+
fir:OrderProductResponse/+
OrderProductResponseDetail/+
product/+
Organization/+
OrganizationDetail +
case=any +
allowextra=yes +
allowmissing=no +
datasubf=data';
xml-into OrganizationDetail %XML(xmlfile:options);

Try to avoid using allowmissing=yes - it allows the entire XML doc to effectively be a completely different document and yet the XML-INTO will succeed. countprefix - as shown in my example - can be used on all V6 and later systems and allows for both missing repeating elements and also for optional elements and attributes. There really is hardly ever a case that needs “allowmissing" these days. See this article (and the others in the series) for more on its use: http://www.itjungle.com/fhg/fhg022316-story03.html

Thanks jon, i wil give it a try..i have code, but wasnt working.
D testds ds dim(10) qualified
d FamilyTreeMemberRoleText...
D 50
d DNBCodeValue...
D 50
options = 'path= OrganizationDetail/FamilyTreeMemberRole +
case=any allowextra=yes allowmissing=yes';
xml-into testds %XML(xml:options);

Looks pretty straightforward. Something like this.--
dcl-ds OrganizationDetail qualified;
FamilyTreeMemberRole LikeDS(FamilyTreeMemberRole_T) Dim(4); <— See note
StandaloneOrganizationIndicator char(nn);
ControlOwnershipDate char(nn);
ControlOwnershipTypeText LikeDS(ControlOwnershipTypeText_T);
end-ds;
dcl-ds FamilyTreeMemberRole_T qualified;
FamilyTreeMemberRoleText LikeDS FamilyTreeMemberRoleText_T;
end-ds;
dcl-ds FamilyTreeMemberRoleText_T;
DNBCodeValue char(nn);
data char(nn);
end-ds;
dcl-ds ControlOwnershipTypeText_T;
DNBCodeValue char(nn);
data char(nn); <— This is where "Privately owned” goes
end-ds;
XML-INTO will need options datsubf=data if using the names shown in my example.
If there are not always exactly 4 elements of FamilyTreeMemberRole then add count_ FamilyTreeMemberRole with a definition of (say) int(5) to the OrganizationDetail DS and add countprefix=count_ to the options.
Replace nn values with whatever lengths you need.
Note this has NOT been tested but it should be close enough for you to work it out.
P.S. It would have been nice to see you make an effort at coding the DS and _then_ come here for advice on any issues. But then I’ve spent way too much time stuck in traffic jams today so maybe I’m just being crabby.

Any help would be apprecited.
