how to show empty element in tag

[cli168]

Hi,
I use getXML with a stylesheet, in plsql. I notice for the follow defined in the xsl:

<Payload Operation="Insert" xmlns="">

the xmlns="", did not show up in the xml

but if xmlns has value, ie: <Payload Operation="Insert" xmlns="9999">

then the xmlns show up.

I need the xmlns to have no value.

How can I get the xmlns to show up in the xml file?

Thanks.

What problem do you think this is causing?

We send this file to another site for validation. The validation gives an error when it can not see the empty tag.

Well, I had once this kind of problem, we had to send an XML but any tag could have the value of '0', so instead of that it must show the tag with no value.
Actually we made this using VFP 9 (not the best but works) I know that there are also other programs with the same difficulties as yours to put empty tags and we just ereases all not needed tags values after in code (I know, not very smart, but again ... it works).
Viel gluck!
