Hi Nathan
One problem - we are at 7.1 - I don't think I have an easy way to get
long enough variable in UTF-8 in RPG - but I could do what I do now -
read the IFS into a variable without text conversion. Then find any
problematic characters.
I just don't think that is practical - there are almost 8,000 valid
UTF-8 byte strings in a table I'm using now, I don't think I want to go
looking through the XML for byte strings I want to eliminate - some of
these are possible valid.
My main question was, do I understand what is happening, and is there
some way to know the byte= position where the problem occurred.
Cheers
Vern

Vern,
If the XML parser is having trouble with certain characters, my inclination
would be to read the XML data (i.e. file) and filter out unwanted
characters before feeding the stream to the parser. By filter, I mean only
allowing characters within a certain Hex or Decimal range into the output
stream.
