I am using TEMP-TABLE files with DATA-RELATIONs and WRITE-XML function to create XML files. However, the NAMESPACE-URI value is printing in both the document header and the first data tag:

xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsdain.001.001.03" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<CstmrCdtTrfInitn xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsdain.001.001.03">

This is what I want:

xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsdain.001.001.03" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" >

Code:

<CstmrCdtTrfInitn>

This is the code that is populating the NAMESPACE-URI

Code:

 DEFINE DATASET Document NAMESPACE-URI "urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.001.001.03" FOR CstmrCdtTrfInitn, GrpHdr, InitgPty, Id, OrgId, Othr, Purp, PmtInf, PmtTpInf, SvcLvl,
                           ReqdExctnDt, LclInstrm, Dbtr, DbtrAcct, Id-DbtrAct, Othr-DbtrAct, DbtrAgt, FinInstnId, ClrSysMmbId, ClrSysId, PstlAdr-DbtrAgt, CdtTrfTxInf, PmtId, 
                           Amt, InstdAmt, CdtrAgt, FinInstnId-CR, ClrSysMmbId-CR, Cdtr, CdtrAcct, Id-CR,  PstlAdr,  PstlAdr-CR, PstlAdr-Cdtr, Othr-CI, Othr-CAgt, Id-Dbtr, 
                           OrgId-Dbtr, Othr-Dbtr, SchmeNm
    DATA-RELATION XML-1 FOR CstmrCdtTrfInitn, GrpHdr
                             RELATION-FIELDS(MsgId, MsgId)
                             NESTED

How can I get rid of the duplicate NAMESPACE-URI attribute?
