  Scenario 1 works just fine

  DECLARE @XMLT XML = '<Header>

  <ReportDate>10032017</ReportDate>

  <ReportTime>140607</ReportTime>

  <Preamble>TWA1</Preamble>

  <ARFVersion>07</ARFVersion>

  </Header>'

  SELECT @XMLT AS TheXML;

  select

  Header.DT.value('ReportDate[1]' ,'VARCHAR(10)') AS ReportDate

  ,Header.DT.value('ReportTime[1]' ,'VARCHAR(10)') AS ReportTime

  ,Header.DT.value('Preamble[1]' ,'VARCHAR(10)') AS Preamble

  ,Header.DT.value('ARFVersion[1]' ,'VARCHAR(10)') AS ARFVersion

  FROM @XMLT.nodes('Header') AS Header(DT);

   

  but i have xml that has data like (highlighted in bold) and i get xml parsing error

  (XML parsing: line 6, character 21, A string literal was expected)

   

  DECLARE @XMLT XML = '<Header>

  <ReportDate>10032017</ReportDate>

  <ReportTime>140607</ReportTime>

  <Preamble>TWA1</Preamble>

  <ARFVersion>07</ARFVersion>

  <Evaluation code=\"P\"/>

  </Header>'
