I have a data flow with xml source flat file
the source file name is a variable
I got the following error
was unable to process the XML data. Invalid character in the given encoding.
i am using unicode dt_wstr for the input and output
any suggestion
my schema has the following
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="SP2AnnouncementInfo">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="AnnouncementInfo">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="SectionNumber" type="xs:unsignedInt" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="SP2SectionID" type="xs:unsignedInt" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="AcademicPeriod" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Subject" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Body" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="SendEmail" type="xs:unsignedByte" />
</xs:sequence>
