Fetching XML data into SAS from API return

[bkgoodwi]

Have exhausted a day trying to extract data that a FCC API returns as xml.  The data pull works correctly but I find it impossible to get the data into SAS.  I have tried using XML libref as well as trying to read as text.  If I read as text and use formats, it will only return first 8 characters when I use proc print.  Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Here is the code:

FILENAME ex "f:/prf/Example.xml";
proc http url='https://geo.fcc.gov/api/census/block/find?latitude=35&longitude=-100&format=xml' /* The base URL */
method="GET" /* HTTP method used for request */
out=ex;
run;

data fips; infile ex;
length one $ 212;informat one $212.;format one $212.;
input one $;
put _infile_;
run;
proc contents;
proc print; run;

Which returns

Below works for me.

FILENAME response temp;
proc http url='https://geo.fcc.gov/api/census/block/find?latitude=35&longitude=-100&format=xml' /* The base URL */
  method="GET" /* HTTP method used for request */
  out=response;
run;

/* write response xml to SAS log */
data _null_;
  infile response end=last;
  input;
  put _infile_;
run;

/* read response xml into SAS data sets */
/* https://go.documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=engxml&docsetTarget=p03yh3krbywig1n1v6lgkuwb3csa.htm&docsetVersion=9.4&locale=en */

filename respmap temp;
libname response xmlv2 automap=replace xmlmap=respmap; 

proc contents data=response._all_; 
run;

proc print data=response.county;
run;
