Known Issue (Case 5336): UTF-16 Encoding causes XML Parser Error

[Omar Mussa 5]

Versions Affected: 1.0

Fixed in: Pending

 

The 'Encoding' input for 'Easy Write XML File.vi' is currently only used for writing the input value to the XML header string. If 'UTF-16' is specified then XML parses such as MSXML will fail because they expect a UTF-16 string but the string is encoded as ASCII.

 

The following error message is displayed when opening the output XML file in Internet Explorer:

Switch from current encoding to specified encoding not supported.
