      Notice! This page describes the nature of the error using a hypothetical example and not the erroneous data of the input test file. You should however be able to apply this information to your error case.

      General description of the error:

      The format of the error message: The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.

      Error description in schema standard:

      Possible causes for this error:

      • XML declaration is given in the middle of the file as opposed to only at the beginning of the file (XML declaration looks something like this: <?xml version="1.0"?>).
      • Data from two or more XML files is inserted into one file in a way that both declaration and root element is given sequentially multiple times

      An example

      ... 
            </PmtInf>
         </CstmrCdtTrfInitn>
      </Document>
      <!--First file ends here-->
      <!--Second file starts from the next line-->
      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      <Document xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.001.001.03">
        <CstmrCdtTrfInitn>
          <GrpHdr>
      ...

      Error message: The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.

      How to fix: Remove extra content from the XML file so that file contains only one root element and declaration.
