XML tags in an "export : XML" Report Template

Question

Hi All,
I'm using the export XML report template to produce XML from a query. One of the column contains XML tags and the template is translating eg: if the column is "Groups" then I get:
<Groups>& lt ;Group& gt ;Sales & lt ;/Group & gt ; & lt ;Group& gt ;IT& lt ;/Group& gt ;</Groups>(ignoring all the spaces - OTN is translating the & gt 's :)
instead of:
<Groups><Group>Sales<Group><Group>IT</Group></Groups>Is there an easy way to stop this ?
Thanks,
Steve

Answer 1

Hi Steve,
Did you ever solve this? I'm having a similar issue while trying to build a Report Query that I want to build with nested elements.
&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?&gt;
- &lt;ROWSET&gt;
- &lt;ROW&gt;
&lt;EE_ID&gt;467&lt;/EE_ID&gt;
&lt;EE_GRIDS&gt;
&lt;EE_GRID INDEX="1"&gt;
&lt;EE_INCENTIVE_CASH_PROGRAM&gt;MIP&lt;/EE_INCENTIVE_CASH_PROGRAM&gt;
&lt;EE_BONUS&gt;20&lt;/EE_BONUS&gt;
&lt;/EE_GRID&gt;
&lt;EE_GRID INDEX="2"&gt;
&lt;EE_INCENTIVE_CASH_PROGRAM&gt;VIP&lt;/EE_INCENTIVE_CASH_PROGRAM&gt;
&lt;EE_BONUS&gt;30&lt;/EE_BONUS&gt;
&lt;/EE_GRID&gt;
&lt;/EE_GRIDS&gt;
&lt;/ROW&gt;
- &lt;ROW&gt;
&lt;EE_ID&gt;468&lt;/EE_ID&gt;
&lt;EE_GRIDS&gt;
&lt;EE_GRID INDEX="1"&gt;
&lt;EE_INCENTIVE_CASH_PROGRAM&gt;MIP&lt;/EE_INCENTIVE_CASH_PROGRAM&gt;
&lt;EE_BONUS&gt;20&lt;/EE_BONUS&gt;
&lt;/EE_GRID&gt;
&lt;EE_GRID INDEX="2"&gt;
&lt;EE_INCENTIVE_CASH_PROGRAM&gt;VIP&lt;/EE_INCENTIVE_CASH_PROGRAM&gt;
&lt;EE_BONUS&gt;30&lt;/EE_BONUS&gt;
&lt;/EE_GRID&gt;
&lt;/EE_GRIDS&gt;
&lt;/ROW&gt;
&lt;/ROWSET&gt;
Thanks
Keith
