Hi

I'm having a problem with some ESQL code which is leading to an exception further down the line, can anyone help me?

Broker & Toolkit v6.0.0.2 on Windows.

I'm passing some XML into a flow and setting the domain to XMLNSC in the MQInput node. I'm not using Message Sets right now (although I will be soon) but I'd still like to know why it's happening. The following is from a trace node immediately before my ESQL Compute node:

Quote:
UserTrace BIP2539I: Node 'FLOW_A.Trace': Evaluating expression ''Root.XMLNSC'' at ('', '1.3'). This resolved to ''Root.XMLNSC''. The result was ''ROW... Root Element Type=16777216 NameSpace='' Name='XMLNSC' Value=NULL''.
UserTrace BIP4060I: Data ''(
(0x01000000):Request = (
(0x03000000):surname = 'Smith'
(0x03000000):forenames = 'Jeremy John'
(0x01000000):dateOfBirth =
)
)


Here's my esql:

Code:
set OutputRoot.Properties = InputRoot.Properties;
set OutputRoot.MQMD = InputRoot.MQMD;
set OutputRoot.MQRFH2 = InputRoot.MQRFH2;
      
declare in_xml reference to InputRoot.XMLNSC.Request;
declare surname , forenames , date_of_birth char;

set surname = in_xml.surname;
set forenames = in_xml.forenames;
set date_of_birth = in_xml.dateOfBirth;


The results of this ESQL are (from trace and also verified by toolkit debug):

surname = Smith
forenames = Jeremy John
date_of_birth = Jeremy John



Why does in_xml.dateOfBirth resolve to the value of in_xml.forenames? I expected this statement to either give date_of_birth a null value or delete the field entirely. If I specify a dateOfBirth on input this works fine, it's just the null value causing this.

Thanks in advance

You are almost certainly encountering a known defect with XMLNSC. My advice would be to raise a PMR. If you do, then please reference this thread on MQSeries.net ( otherwise IBM service might waste a lot of time looking for a known defect ).
The workaround is to use XMLNS instead of XMLNSC.

If you raise a PMR you can get an IFix for this. You should ask for a test fix for PMR 12211,999,866.
