XML Input bombing when getting an optional node, but not when getting a string

Hi,

Not sure if anyone has seen this, but we have an XML which has repeating values. So I wanted to get the XML for the whole node then loop on it in the next step.

However; Whilst you can get the String value of a node in XML input, and if it isnt there it'll just return null correctly, if you try to do that for the entire node then PDI Crashes.

(Not got the exception to hand but it's a pretty obscure one!)

Should that work? Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks,
Dan
