I understand the BOM, what I do not understand is why the source document
runs successfully through the orchestration and map in the assembly, but when
I try to use the 'Test Map' feature in Visual Studio with the same source
document I get the error. Each time I 'Test Map', it creates 3 files in
c:\documents and settings\...\local settings\Temp
xsd2edi807.tmp - a message indicating the instance is valid
xsd2edi806.tmp - an intermediate XML representation of the x12 document
(containing all segements, elements, and values) in a unicode format (I know
because it is twice as large as inputfile.xml
inputfile.xml - Contents are the same as xsd2edi806.tmp, but the file is a
regular ascii file.
The XML declaration in both inputfile.xml and xsd2edi806.tmp is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
