NotesDXLImporter: Unknown datetimelist element error

I am trying to import this document:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <datetime>20030429</datetime>

Using this code:

Dim session As New NotesSession

Dim importer As NotesDXLImporter

Dim db As NotesDatabase

Dim stream As NotesStream

Set db = session.CurrentDatabase

Set stream = session.createStream

Call stream.Open(“c:\test.xml”)

Set importer = session.CreateDXLImporter(stream, db)

importer.DocumentImportOption=DXLIMPORTOPTION_CREATE

Call importer.Process

And I always get this error:

<?xml version='1.0'?>

Unknown datetimelist element child element: #text

Unknown DXL class library error

DXL importer operation failed

I am at a loss. What am I missing here?

I get this also, I figured the import would recognize the same formatting it dishes out… must be a workaround somewhere…

obviously textlist elements work without issues. I wonder if anyone has called this in to Lotus support?

Another post suggests that the problem only occurs when is on a separate line… remains a problem just the same.

Unfortunately, it can create much additional work to attempt to remove all carriage returns and such using XSL, depending on how your source xml is laid out.

I have opened the issue with Lotus.
