Hi,
I coded a program that uses XML PARSE to convert xml format to flat file.

This program works fine if the whole xml file is in one record. Now that the data in input file is more and it can't fit in one record. It will be in multi-records. To accomodate this I need to change the program.

For example:
there is a header record and 10 detail records. The program is working fine if all the records are given in one record (xml format).
New format will have header as 1st rec, 1st det rec as 2nd rec, 2nd det rec as 2nd rec, and so on 10th det rec as 10th rec.

While running the program some errors occured.

115 - The parser reached the end of the document while scanning character data in element content.

317 - The parser cannot determine the document encoding. The document might be damaged.

The data is proper in input file. I tried giving only one record with proper data.

Any idea how to resolve these errors?

Please help.

Thanks...

The 115 is because the parse ended while some tags did not close....

The 317 is because the parse needs to start with that initial tag, "<?xml"{, I think.....

XML is not a process that lends itself to being broken down, it is an all or nothing sort of thing....About the only thing you can do is to reblock the entire message into a single area before parsing it.
What environment are you running in that you can not keep the message whole?
