Hi,
I would to like to create one xml file where values will be separated using line wrap. For example, in the following xml file the field <Data> will have '123' and '456' separated by line break, as follows
<Data>
123
456
</Data>
How do I achieve this using esql ?
SET OutputRoot.XML.Data = '123' || <br> || '456' is not working. The <br> tag is being displayed by the browser. Any suggestion? |

Question: Why?
XML is not intended to be directly displayed & if it is there are many way to transform it (XSLT being an obvious choice) into HTML or another display format.
Please give more details of your requirement

Please bear in mind that the XML specification is very clear about line breaks. They are always normalised to a single 0x0A. I hope that's the kind of line break you need |

Thanks for the reply.
I am not sure how to implement line break in XML file using single 0x0A. Everything I write it's treated as character. Any help? |

Use CAST( <HexValue> AS CHAR CCSID value)

| I tried with that also. Always taking char value of the Hex. Please note that this is within the XML message, not any TDS or CWF flat file message. |

I'm still not clear what you're trying to achieve...?
(There may be a different & easier way of achieving the same effect you see)

When I said this:

...I was not instructing you to insert 0x0A into your XML character stream ( although you can if you want to). I was simply pointing out that if you insert any other kind of line break, the next XML processor to parse the document will replace it with 0x0A.
If you still don't understand my point, read this: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-line-ends |

| I would like to insert a line wrap in the xml document. It may not appear as normal line wrap like other editors (XSL or HTML) but from esql i would like to insert CARRIAGE RETURN (#xD) and LINE FEED (#xA) in one of the XML fields. For example, If I have two strings like '123' and '456', I just would like to append these two strings in a xml field with a Carriage Return and Line Feed using the ESQL. How can that be achieved? |

Okay, but I still don't see the purpose of control characters in the body of an XML tag. 
Maybe I'm just being thicker than normal
