Issue while reading XML

Hi, I am using XML input stage in a parallel job to read xml. The xml data contains tags like <Name /> instead of <Name> </Name>. Pleas let us know if it is possible to read it in DataStage using XML input stage?

Regards,

Those two are equivalent. Both mean "empty" element. It's fine. The xmlInput Stage can bring this in at runtime as blanks or as nulls --- your choice (there is an option within the Stage).
