Hi Chevell,

The post is good, thanks for that.
But SAS is less helpfull: everytime I try to read a validates XML-file into SAS with the above standing code, I receive non-informational feedback instead of the red messages above:
ERROR: 3
ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.
Only the '3' is variable (sometimes it's just '?' or any other character.
What I would like to know: what could be wrong in the XML, that causes this problem?

Thanks in advance,
Arnold
