Thanks for your reply.
The global.xml file did not have balanced tags - closing tag was missing
the "/" character - I'm sure I checked this a dozen times ;-)
Is there a simple way of checking the well-formness of an XML file?
The only way I can think of is "sabcmd test.xsl file-to-test.xml" where
test.xsl has the minimum amount of XSL directives and file-to-test.xml is
the file to test.
Any ideas?
