| Code: |
DECLARE my_xml CHARACTER '<tag>&</tag>';
CREATE LASTCHILD OF OutputRoot DOMAIN('XMLNSC')
PARSE(my_xml,546,1208); |
Throwing 'An xml parsing error has occurred' but instead if I parse <tag>hello</tag> it is getting parsed. As far as I know the XLMNSC parser escape the special characters(here &) to &

What happens if you try:
| Code: |
| CREATE LASTCHILD OF OutputRoot DOMAIN('XMLNSC') NAME 'tag' VALUE '&'; |

Output is having no value 
My question is does XMLNSC parser automatically escape special characters or we need to specify certain encodings
In my case Im having a large string with some special characters.
Help needed |

If you do it right the XMLNSC parser will escape the special characters for you.
Have fun

every time I execute the code I am getting this:'The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference'
I guess the parser is looking for & |

Let me get this straight. You are executing this code:
| Code: |
DECLARE my_xml CHARACTER '<tag>&</tag>';
CREATE LASTCHILD OF OutputRoot DOMAIN('XMLNSC')
PARSE(my_xml,546,1208); |
and you are surprised that you are getting an error?!
Please do this.
1. Put that XML into a file with extension '.xml'
2. Open that XML file in your favourite web browser
What does the web browser's XML parser say?
If you want additional proof, try the XML parser from any other product.
IIB escapes special characters when writing XML. It does not auto-magically fix broken XML documents when parsing. Instead, it correctly points out that your XML is badly-formed. |
