Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
OpenEdge 10.1A
SYMPTOM(s):
Calling WRITE-XML for a temp-table
Temp-table has field with special character in the name (example: "bug#")
WRITE-XML method completes without error
XML generated is not well-formed
Trying to parse XML generated results in errors
CAUSE:
Bug# 20051122-004
CAUSE:
This is a known issue being investigated by Development.
There are a number of characters that are allowed in a 4GL object names, but are invalid in an XML element or argument name. The WRITE-XML method did not take these characters into account and writes them into the XML document, which is not well-formed as a result.
FIX:
Upgrade to OpenEdge 10.1A01 or later
Upgrade to OpenEdge 10.1B or later
The WRITE-XML method will no longer accept special characters in field names and will raise a runtime error instead of producing invalid XML documents
