FOP on Mainframe

[Ry...@stpaul.com]

Hello,

I'm trying to run FOP 0.20.4 on an IBM OS/390 mainframe, running under Unix
System Services.  I also use Saxon as the XML parser and XSL transformer.
I get this error:

Error at byte 3 of
file:/u/tsryana/LMR/StandardRpts/xsl/StandardReportsPDF.xsl:
  Error reported by XML parser: invalid UTF-8 byte (check the XML
declaration) (
code: 0xa7)


I also tried Xerces and Xalan, and got this message fragment (the whole
message is too long to cut and paste):


ÝFatal Error¨ StandardReportsPDF.xsl:1:39: Content is not allowed in

Here's the start of the XML declaration of the style sheet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>


So both XML/XSL parsers are complaining about style sheet.  The run the
same exact process on a Windows 2000 machine and it works flawlessly.

I remember that when 0.20.4 came out, one of the changes was that it now
works on EBCIDC machines.  But, I still get this error.

Does anybody know if this is an FOP problem or some sort of problem with
the XML/XSL processors, or with the encoding of the style sheet on the
mainframe?  Ideas for fixes?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!!

Those changes concerned only the PDF creation.

As someone already mentioned this sounds like a problem with the
encoding. How do you load the stylesheet?
