http://www.unicode.org/unicode/faq/utf_bom.html#BOM for details. The bytes 0xEFBBBF denote the BOM in UTF-8. I don't know why XmlAdapter recognizes BOM in the file but not in the string. The workaround is easy.
oXml = CREATEOBJECT("XMLAdapter")

>Sergey,
Thank you for the explanation and work around. I did see those 3 bytes but didn't know what it was all about. Now I have two work- arounds, either copy to file and get it from the file or using SUBSTR() as you suggested.
Thank you for your help.
