The standalone attribute is unrelated to the encoding attribute and tells the parser that a DTD is required or not. The attribute is optional and if you aren't using a DTD, leave it out. If you don't know what a DTD is then you probably aren't using one - they're a way to validate the structure of an XML document but they're becoming less common these days and have largely been replaced by xml schemas (.xsd).
Also, be aware that UniVerse without NLS uses an ISO-8859-1 based character set. For example, XML documents generated by UniVerse which included a character greater than char(128) (eg "Cafi blend coffee") will be misinterpreted by most XML parsers if the encoding attribute is set to UTF-8. Try using the following header: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> ______________________________________________________________________ From: "Nancy Fisher" I tried to look up what standalone means - but didn't really get it. I wondered if it meant it wasn't using mapping? ************************************************************* ********* This email message and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of addressed recipient(s).
