Hi,

I’m trying to call a C# web service from webMethods and i’m getting the following error:
<?xml><br><br><soap:Envelope

character. Line 11, position 16.</faultstring><br><br>

Hi Ramesh, did you manage to fix this problem? I’m experiencing same.

mnce,

Are you facing the problem in EDI file?? Please elaborate your issue,someone can assist you on this.

HTH,

I have the same type of error. An IDoc comes into webMethods. I convert it to xml and forward it to a vendor.

The xml contains this hexadecimal character. Because of this character, the vendor is unable to read the xml file.

I did a replace transformation to the xml string before sending the file, but it appears that there are many of these characters. (They show up as a square on the xml in Developer.)

These characters show up because the users cut and paste Word documents into SAP.

Any ideas how to filter out these illegal characters?
