(Windows/UniVerse)
I do have an '.xsd'.
I can get either encoding (ISO-8850-1 or UTF-8) to work as long as I don't use
the 'standalone="yes"'.
However it is different than the download I get with the heading that COMES
WITH 'UTF-8'.
That download has a better 'structure' when it comes with UTF-8 than with
ISO-8850-1...
(When I change the ISO.. to the UTF it doesn't help the structure)
(partial snippets only).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<VEHICLEPOSITIONS ticket="aaaaa_xxxxx">
<VEHICLE ID="555">
<LON>-122.65788</LON>
<LAT>45.504333</LAT>
<DATE>2006-01-26 20:58:25.0</DATE>
<SPEED>0</SPEED>
<DIRECTION>1</DIRECTION>
<NAME>333</NAME>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<VEHICLEPOSITIONS ticket="aaaaa_xxxxx"> <VEHICLE ID="222">
<LON>-122.70442</LON> <LAT>45.545563</LAT>
<DATE>2006-01-26 15:34:59.0</DATE> <SPEED>0</SPEED>
<DIRECTION>36</DIRECTION> <NAME>1100</NAME>
And in the 2nd download I have to remove linefeeds before writing to the
file.
(p.s. Is there a convention for changing the heading? I just replace and
append...)
thanks for your help,
Nancy

Subject: RE: [U2] Re: XML Issue - 'ISO-8859-1'
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common these days and have largely been replaced by xml schemas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"?>
