Ive created a table with a few fields, created a stored proc that uses and xml file to to a bulk insert into the database. When i run the stored proc and pass the parameters below it does not insert the values into the database. Can someone please help for when i try to debug the stored proc it does not display anything so i am really stuck here.

I created the following table

CREATE TABLE [absorbentorder] (
[dpc] [char] (15) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[absorbentcode] [char] (15) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[quantity] [char] (15) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

Here is the code for the stored proc:

CREATE PROC AbsorbentOrderBulkInsertXML @items nText

AS
DECLARE @hDoc int
exec sp_xml_preparedocument @hDoc OUTPUT, @items

Insert Into absorbentorder
SELECT dpc, absorbentcode, quantity
FROM OPENXML (@hDoc, '/absorbentitems',1)
WITH (dpc char(15), absorbentcode char(15), quantity char(15)) XMLItems

EXEC sp_xml_removedocument @hDoc

GO

Here is the parameter for the stored proc

<absorbentitems><item dpc="501"></item><item absorbentcode="CL1022"></item><item quantity="6"></item><item dpc="501"></item><item absorbentcode="CL1088"></item><item quantity="8"></item><item dpc="501"></item><item absorbentcode="CL1193"></item><item quantity="8"></item></absorbentitems>

thanks!
