Error XML import into SAS

Hi all,

I am currently having a problem with importing a XML file into SAS. I created a mapping file using the SAS XML Mapper. However, I always get the following error message:

NOTE: Processing XMLMap version 2.1.
ERROR: Xpath construct
/{http://www.xbrl.org/2003/instance}xbrl/{http://www.xbrl.org/2003/instance}ROCRA/{http://www.xbrl
.org/2003/instance}RAN for column RAN is an invalid, unrecognized, or unsupported form.

ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.

This the code I used for importing:

I attached the XML file and the map (the code of the map is attached as a docs, because I couldn't upload .map files here). Do you have an idea why I keep receiving this error message and how I can solve it?

Thank you in advance and kind regards,

Marius

Not quite sure what went wrong but I reran the XML Mapper on your XML and got a working map with the auto-map function. I used the latest, 9.46. The new map file is different from yours in many places but differences are small. Mostly "-1" versus "1". Maybe your xmlmapper version is different?

I have attached my version for your convenience.

Hope this helps,

By the way I did recreate your error message using your map file before creating my own.

Note that XML files in general and the MAP files that the XMLV2 engine uses in particular are just TEXT files. So just post them using .TXT extension.

I re-created a map file using AUTOMAP option. Looks basically the same. Some names were changed.

Main differences seem to be that a lot of -1 have been converted into 1.

Thank you very much! Actually, I really had an older version. Thanks for your help!
