Hi all,

I have an XML message like below;

<message>My_Message='Tom's house.'</message>

There are 3 (') characters in the message. So XML parser of cobol thinks that the second (') caharcter ends the string and so I face exception errors. Is there any way to fix this error without changing the message?

Thanks

What does your parse code look like?

you can try using double quotes (") like
<message>My_Message="Tom's house."</message>

amol, most shops do not have the luxury of dictating xml format. Multiple single quotes can be handled. Actually, there is little that is not allowed for a value.

as steve said, the op needs to provide the parse code (and data definitions). the op's code is doing something incorrectly.
