X-NODEREF ... SET-ATTRIBUTE got an error: An invalid character was specified. (9082)

[Boomn4x4]

I'm trying to generate an XML file, and I'm using the XML documentation from Progress... but am running into an error I cannot figure out (FYI.. I'm pretty new to both XML and Progress).

My code is as follows

def var hDoc as handle no-undo.
def var hSale as handle no-undo.
def var hTran as handle no-undo.
def var hSaleData as handle no-undo.
def var hLineItem as handle no-undo.
def var hTotal as handle no-undo.

create X-DOCUMENT hDoc.
create X-NODEREF hSale.
create X-NODEREF hTran.
create X-NODEREF hSaleData.
create X-NODEREF hLineItem.
create X-NODEREF hTotal.

hDoc:CREATE-NODE(hSale, "SALE", "ELEMENT").
hDoc:APPEND-CHILD(hSale).

hDoc:CREATE-NODE(hTran, "TRANSACTION", "ELEMENT").
hSale:APPEND-CHILD(hTran).
hTran:SET-ATTRIBUTE("Customer Name", string("Joe Smith")).

hDoc:SAVE("LONGCHAR", longstring).

I get the following error:

X-NODEREF or X-DOCUMENT SET-ATTRIBUTE got an error: An invalid character was specified. (9082)

Any help would be appreciated.

Answered my own question.... The "invalid character" was the SPACE between 'Customer' and 'Name'... XML doesn't permit spaces in attribute names.
