UTF Data Format Exception while handling XML i/p

[basav_ds]

UTF Data Format Exception, while trying to move xml data from XML i/p stage to sequential file stage. The xml tags are appearing as strange encoded symbols in sequential output file.

The exact error msg is :
Xalan fatal error (publicId: , systemId: , line: 1, column: 1): An exception occurred! Type:UTFDataFormatException, Message:Exceede bytes limits
, 6-byte sequence.

I am reading XML message from DS MQ stage to XML I/p stage. The xml file looks like this.
<xml>
<BO BOType="SO">
<Order OrderNo="92345">
<OrderLine LineNo="2">
</OrderLine>
</Order>
</BO>
</xml>
There i am seperating out first element of xml i.e BOType by writing /xml/BO/@BOType in Description Seq Stage.

field.
I also want the rest of XML file to be my second column to be passed to the Sequential file stage. For that i am specifying /xml/BO in description.
After execution, i am getting only "SO" in BOType column and Second column containing xml is having "92345" , "2" with some encoded square symbols.


Please can any one help me in this regard

It's highly likely that you need the fix for XML...asuming you are doing this in v8. Ttwo key issues for this patch are a namespace error (which you aren't getting here) and the fact that chunks of xml have all of their tags removed and are mis-interpretted. There may be more to this, but at the very least, I would bet that you need to get in touch with support and obtain fix 117664 at a minimum.

...and fyi.... if you have /xml/BO/ you'll get the whole of BO....if you just want "the rest" of the document without BO, choose /xml/BO/Order/ for the other column.
