I'm attempting to "Run Map" after completing a "build map" with zero errors and I'm getting the error: FAIL function aborted map:Content is not allowed in prolog. The full return messege in the audit log is as follows :

<ExecutionSummary MapStatus="Error" mapreturn="30" ElapsedSec="0.0177" BurstRestartCount="0">
<Message>FAIL function aborted map:Content is not allowed in prolog.</Message>
<CommandLine>'C:\Documents and Settings\s900310\IBM\wtx\workspace\Proof_Of_Concept\testMethod.mmc'</CommandLine>
<ObjectsFound>0</ObjectsFound>
<ObjectsBuilt>27</ObjectsBuilt>

Anyone familar with this error message? My map contains two output cards. The map is trying to send a soap message to our CICS/SOLA box. Basically just a simple proof of concept.

Thank you,

It's a custom error, not a WTX generated one.

Somewhere in the code, someone used FAIL("Content is not allowed in prolog"), most likley with a "VALID" (but not nessecarily).

In a map rule, it hit a circumstance where the programmer said to fail and give this error message.

The real system error message is the "30".
