I have heard of no problems - if by that you mean "bugs in what is documented".
However, the feature is limited - to some extent. There are issues with
"attributes" , underscores vs hyphens, and some other XML features not supported
by this syntax. Some of this ("work-arounds") is dealt with at:
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/igy3pg32/5.2.2
There may also be "encoding" (codepage) issues - which you will also need to
understand. (As I recall, there may be problems if your site doesn't have the
correct conversion services defined).
NOTE:
I have not personally used this facility, so this is just a report on what I
have "heard".
NOTE 2:
Other compilers on other platforms use very DIFFERENT approaches to COBOL and
XML, so this solution is NOT necessarily portable - if this may matter to your
site in the future.

Just testing the waters on creating XML output from some flat files.
Choice is to use XML GENERATE command or hand-code.
Are there any known problems with XML GENERATE? Frequently with a lot
of IBM's newer releases there are teething problems.
Would like some input from people who are using this in a production
environment.
