Hi,

I have a valid XML-File. During parsing this file I get NAT8311 Error. ☹

At least I found the errors, but I can’t explain the errors. Maybe someone else here can.

XML-File

```auto
    
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>    
...    
   <rb:numerischesBasisdatum ao:Name="STENDEM">34</rb:numerischesBasisdatum>    
   <rb:numerischesBasisdatum ao:Name="STENDEW">34</rb:numerischesBasisdatum>    
...    
    
 <rb:TabellenEintrag>    
     <rb:Tabelle xsi:type="ao:Sterbetafel" ao:Kommutationswert="alpha" ao:Geschlecht="m" ao:Startalter="0" ao:Name="PK001426" />    
   </rb:TabellenEintrag>    
   <rb:TabellenEintrag>    
     <rb:Tabelle xsi:type="ao:Sterbetafel" ao:Kommutationswert="alpha" ao:Geschlecht="w" ao:Startalter="0" ao:Name="PK001771" />    
   </rb:TabellenEintrag>    
...    
```

1. First Error occurs while Parsing

```auto
   
   <rb:numerischesBasisdatum ao:Name="STENDEM">34</rb:numerischesBasisdatum>    
```

After Changing this to

```auto
   
   <rb:numerischesBasisdatum ao:Name="STENDEM" >34</rb:numerischesBasisdatum>    
```

everything works find (Hint: I put a space after “STENDEM”).

1. Second Error is the other way around:  
After changing XML-File from

> [@](#):
>
> rb:TabellenEintrag  
> \<rb:Tabelle xsi:type=“ao:Sterbetafel” ao:Kommutationswert=“alpha” ao:Geschlecht=“m” ao:Startalter=“0” ao:Name=“PK001426” /\>  
> \</rb:TabellenEintrag\>

to

> [@](#):
>
> rb:TabellenEintrag  
> \<rb:Tabelle xsi:type=“ao:Sterbetafel” ao:Kommutationswert=“alpha” ao:Geschlecht=“m” ao:Startalter=“0” ao:Name=“PK001426”/\>  
> \</rb:TabellenEintrag\>

everything works find (Hint: I deleted the space after “PK001426”).

This is really strange, but maybe someone can explain it.

Hi,

at least I found the Bug.  
I read the XML-File piece by piece and compress the strings to a big one.

I used the “leaving no space”-option, because otherwise the compress-Statement inserts an extra space. Very bad in XML-Tags :-(.

The problem begins when the secound string starts with an space. This space from the file is leaving out by the compress statement. So i got  
xsi:type="ao:Sterbetafel"ao:Kommutationswert=“alpha”  
instead of  
xsi:type=“ao:Sterbetafel” ao:Kommutationswert=“alpha”  
.  
Conclusion: Read the whole XML-File into one dynamic variable.

Regrards,

Markus Wessjohann
