SYMPTOM(s):
& symbol is encoded as & when saving XML document via 4GL
Sets node value as € to produce Euro symbol, but is encoded as € so € is displayed not Euro symbol
Unable to change document encoding from default UTF-8
CAUSE:
This is a limitation of the DOM. Xerces does not, nor will it, support doing this. It is not possible to create a character reference with the DOM. It is only possible to directly insert text with characters as needed.
FIX:
Use the SAX-WRITER available in OpenEdge 10.1A or later. The SAX-WRITER includes the method WRITE-ENTITY-REF which will correctly write out character references.
