RE: UTF-8 vs UTF-16

[Robert Frohne <RFrohne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes.  That helps a great deal.  Thank you.  In fact, it appears the XML sent back to me was in utf-8 format.  And the header read: "utf-16."  I have changed the HTTP_XML_CALC parm to be hard-coded to 1208 (for utf-8).  And now it works.  I guess the web service on their end is not correct.
Thank you very much.  You are the man!

Robert,

HTTP_XML_CALC means that Expat will try to calculate the proper encoding
to use based on the contents of the file.  If your file is in UTF-16
format, and has a header of <?xml encoding="utf-16"?> at the top, then
it should automatically work.

If you want to force it to always use UTF-16 rather than detecting it,
you can change 'HTTP_XML_CALC' to just use the number 1200 (which is the
CCSID of UTF-16).

Hope that helps!
