Bypass namespace validation

[Thomas Guignard]

Hi there

I need to run an XSLT stylesheet on XML files generated by another app
that seem to have errors. When I try to run my XSLT processor (MSXML
engine, run through the Cooktop editor), I get the following error message

ERROR: pattern constraint failed.
The element: '{http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim}leader' has an invalid
value according to its data type.

Source: '<marc:record><marc:leader>01441cam a22003614a 45 0</marc:leader>'
Line: 14277, Pos: 53

Since I don't plan to use this field, I'd like to have the processor
bypass this error validation, so that I can get the rest to work.

How can I do this?

Thanks for any help

You get validation errors when you run an XSLT transformation? If you
are using MSXML then you might be able to prevent it from doing
validation by setting
xmlDocument.validateOnParse = false
for the DOMDocuments you are using. Whether that is possible with
Cooktop I don't know.

Thanks for your help. I can set run-time parameters in Cooktop, and now
it works.

Cheers,
