Could anyone of you help in this regard?

Thanks in advance.

While parsing the XML document which is declared as a CLOB in the COBOL program getting the XML Error 317(ie the Parser can not determine the document encoding). In the compiler options, the default option CODEPAGE(37) is used. Any specific encoding technique needs to be used in the compiler options? If so, what should be used? But with out using the CLOB, if an XML document is declared as CHAR, then the COBOL program is not throwing any errors & successfully parsing the XML document as well. So looks like this is specific to CLOB. Any help on this is appreciated

I have found that the parser is very sensitive about finding the "<?xml version=

satyenderd,

What version of cobol are you using and what is the size of CLOB data item? The prior versions of cobol had a size limitation of 16M. The newer versions have a limit of 128M.

Show us the definition of the CLOB and version of cobol you are using.

Kolusu,

I too have the same problem with the XML parser. We use COBOL compiler V 3.4.1 and the length of the CLOB is 1024K. And the below is the declarion of the CLOB host variable,

y'all sure that the data in your working-storage area that you think contains the CLOB data is really the xml document?

perhaps display the first 100 bytes or so to insure that you only have the xml portion of the CLOB and not pointer/length data.

When I displayed the variable, it's showing the XML document correctly

Well, what does the first 20 or so bytes look like? Please post...(hex?)...
Is your error a 317 also?
