Re: xml-sax issue
John,
I don't recall off the top of my head. He tried sending it as UTF-16 but
its defaulting to 8 so I'm not sure if that's the problem or not.
I recompiled the srvpgm and stubs and created the sample program, in debug
when I check the xml value immediately following the web service call I'm
getting a weird character Þ<MMMProcess>
and it is starting in position 2. I don't recall seeing this before.
Ideas?
