  The value returned from executing the system stored procedure "sp_xml_removedocument" is 1 indicating an error has occured. The code closely follows examples in BOL and elsewhere. "sp_xml_removedocument" should return 0 just as "sp_xml_preparedocument" does.

  If an error has occured then the XML document could still be residing in memory!

  The following T-SQL code example illustrates the problem I'm having. I run this code in the query analyzer. I've also compiled it into a stored procedure and received the same result output (i.e. 1). I'm using SQL Server 2000(sp2) on Win2K(sp2).

  DECLARE @hdoc int, @return int, @doc varchar(1000), @xmlPath varchar(15)

  SET @doc = '

  <?xml version="1.0"?>

  <root>

  <city>lansing</city>

  <cntyCode>033</cntyCode>

  <output>xml</output>

  <rowsToReturn>100</rowsToReturn>

  <siteCode>PARMA</siteCode>

  </root>'

  SET @xmlPath = '/root'

  -- load to memory

  EXEC @return = sp_xml_preparedocument @hdoc OUTPUT, @doc

  PRINT 'Prepare = ' + CAST(@return AS varchar)

  -- select all

  SELECT *

  FROM OPENXML(@hdoc, @xmlPath, 1)

  -- remove from memory

  EXEC @return = sp_xml_removedocument @hdoc

  PRINT 'Remove = ' + CAST(@return AS varchar)

  Just tried it and I get a 1 also as the result code from the removal.

  I suspect this is a bug, but I will have to check.

  BTW, I assume you mean SQL, SP1
