Define.xml validation

Step 1: does your define.xml validate against the XML-Schema v.2.0? See the CDISC publication "XML Schema Validation for Define.xml White Paper" which essentially also applies to define.xml 2.0. See: https://www.cdisc.org/standards/foundational/define-xml/xml-schema-validation-definexml-white-paper

You can test this easily using any XML editor that supports XML-Schema validation.

From the error message, it looks however that there is something wrong with one or more of your "def:Origin" elements. Remark that in v.2.0 this is an XML element whereas it was an attribute in v.1.0.

With best regards,

Variable Origin

Check your origins . Could be a null, missing or empty XML tag for it. Joseph is correct about the element vs attribute.
