XML test data for large text element?

We need to build test data for complex nested XML schema (xsd). We tried with XMLspy, where we have the following situation.

Here is our .xsd piece.--------------------------

<xsd:sequence>
            <xsd:element name="Explanation" type="ExplanationType" minOccurs="0"/>
        </xsd:sequence>

XSD Type definition ------------------

<xsd:simpleType name="ExplanationType">
        <xsd:annotation>
            <xsd:documentation>A note field that allows up to 9000 characters</xsd:documentation>
        </xsd:annotation>
        <xsd:restriction base="TextType">
            <xsd:maxLength value="9000"/>
        </xsd:restriction>
    </xsd:simpleType>

Generated test XML via xmlspy

<Explanation>!</Explanation>

Even though element defined as 9000 length, we have only one character (!). How do I get 9000 length string such as 

**<Explanation>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ……………………………(9000 length)</Explanation>**

In my test data (generated xml message) ?

Is there an option to get such thing via xmlspy?

Is there any other tool provide such data?

Split your type definition into two files with the first ending with: (caret)xsd:documentation(caret) and the second beginning with: (caret)/xsd:documentation(caret)

Windows:

type preamblefile 9000charfile postfile > testfile

Linux:

cat preamblefile 9000charfile postfile > testfile
