APAR status

  • Closed as new function.

Error description

  • Currently if unrepresentable characters are presented in the
    XML DOC, and in some cases where it is only available in the
    next segment of XML DOC, the user may get a X'0720' XML-INFO
    code that indicate an error (A character reference for an
    unrepresentable character was not resolved.) with the parse,
    and the parse is terminated.
    

Local fix

  • Passing the completed XML document to the parser could
    workaround the problem.
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Enterprise COBOL V5+ user with programs that *
    *                 contain XML PARSE statements compiled with   *
    *                 XMLPARSE(XMLSS) option, and wants use the    *
    *                 XML segmented parsing (where the XML         *
    *                 document is given to the parser in multiple  *
    *                 segments) to process input NATIONAL XML      *
    *                 documents containing unrepresentable         *

    ****************************************************************
    When segmented parsing is used, the COBOL Runtime routine that
    handles the information returned by the XMLSS parser during
    segmented parsing does not handle unrepresentable character.
