XML PARSE BUG XML-TEXT parsing in chunks rather than a single string
XML-TEXT content is 104069, but its separating the text like 64909 and 39160 chars chunks rather than a single string text. we tried Enterprise COBOL 4.2 & 6.2 no difference same issue.

    After further investigation, we believe that this is something that users should handle rather than the compiler as it is not under the compiler's control.
    As a result this RFE is being rejected.

    If users are using XMLPARSE(XMLSS), then they could open an RFE against the System Services team to see if this is something they can handle.

    "works as designed?"
    This is the expected behavior and described in the XMLSS Parser documentation for COBOL.
    To obtain the restitution in one go it is necessary to use XMLPARSE (COMPAT).

    This RFE is being further investigated and requires a bit more time for our investigation.
