XML Parsing Error In Package Execution
Jun 8, 2007I have a package that opens an XML file and stores the XML to a variable. Then the package executes a stored procedure passing the variable containing the XML data. This package had been working perfectly until I applied service pack 2 to SQL Server. Now when I execute the package I get an error when the stored procedure attempts to exeucte. The error is: "XML parsing: line 615, character 11, illegal xml character". The strange thing is that I can run profiler and copy out the command that is being executed and paste it into a query window and it exeuctes successfully in the query window. So does anyone know what changed with service pack two that is causing this problem and/or how to resolve it?
The position that the error message is referring to is the last character in the xml variable that the package is passing to the stored procedure. What I find strange is that it throws an error when called from the package but not when executed in the query window. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is a copy of the command from profiler that is throwing the error:
exec sp_executesql N'EXEC dbo.ABF_UpdateBillerList @P1, @P2',N'@P1 nvarchar(max),@P2 datetime',N'<billers>
