0  = "current job's default CCSID".

37 = EBCDIC used by US, Canada, Netherlands, Portugal, Brazil, New 
Zealand and Australia

So it's not as simple as saying "set the CCSID parm to 0".  It might be 
0, if your XML data happens to be in the same CCSID as your job's 
default.  But it's not always.

Where I live (Wisconsin, USA) it doesn't matter if I specify 0 or 37, 
they do exactly the same thing, since I have an EBCDIC machine 
configured for English in the USA.  However, what if my XML data came 
from someone in Germany?

So I certainly don't want to tell you that "The CCSID parameter should 
be 0".  Instead, the CCSID parameter should be whatever CCSID your XML 
data happens to be.
