Re: %Subst and %len with UTF-8 data

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe there is a similar issue with an XML-SAX parser error, which 
gives a position where the error occurs - or how much of the XML has 
been processed before the error - one or the other.

It reports the position or offset by byte, not by character. I don't 
know if this is a general standard, I searched for parser error codes 
and looked at a couple, such as for a product called LabView at ni.com 
(not an IBM i product that I could see) - it had a list of 179 codes, 
and not exactly the same as those reported in RNX0351 - thoughts on my 
admittedly-brief search?

Vern
