XML generation

Beginning with COBOL for AIX Version 3, XML GENERATE returns exception code 417 if element character content contains characters that are illegal in XML content. XML generation continues with the element tag name prefixed with 'hex.', and the original data value represented in the document in hexadecimal.

The generated XML document is compatible with documents generated using COBOL for AIX Version 2, but exception code 417 is raised.

For a list of the current XML GENERATE exception codes, see the related reference.
