MQSeries.net :: View topic - CDATA converts XML attributes to elements

Hi, we are currently experiencing an issue, when we use (XML.CDataSection) it converts XML attributes to XML elements. Here is the code that we use:

DECLARE refData REFERENCE TO OutputRoot.XMLNS.Envelope.Body.csrSession.pwsRequest.items.statement.data.Reports;
DECLARE refCCPS CHARACTER;

SET Environment.Variables.blobCCPS = ASBITSTREAM(refData OPTIONS FolderBitStream);
SET refCCPS = CAST(Environment.Variables.blobCCPS AS CHAR CCSID 1208 );
SET OutputRoot.XMLNS.Envelope.Body.csrSession.pwsRequest.items.statement.data = NULL;
SET OutputRoot.XMLNS.Envelope.Body.csrSession.pwsRequest.items.statement.data.(XML.CDataSection) = refCCPS;

Here is the data that we want to insert to Output tree as a CDATA:

<tableList>
<table title="String" name="launchBonus" headerType="String" seq="4" id="RT1006"/>
<table title="String" name="anniversaryBonus" headerType="String" seq="5" id="RT1007"/>
...
</tableList>

however after we insert it as CData using code above it becomes this:

<tableList>
<table>
<id>RT1006</id>
<seq>4</seq>
<headerType>String</headerType>
<name>launchBonus</name>
<title>String</title>
</table>
<table>
<id>RT1007</id>
<seq>5</seq>
<headerType>String</headerType>
<name>anniversaryBonus</name>
<title>String</title>
</table>
...
</tableList>

Has anyone experienced similar issue?

I would appreciate if someone could point us to the right direction as to where are we going wrong.

Much appreciated, thanks.
