CDATA Exceptions

If < or > operators are used in an XML report definition, they must be contained within a 'CDATA' section. This is done to avoid confusing the XML parsing engine, which identifies < and > as markup symbols.

For Example: Let’s look at CDATA used in a conditional-style definition.

Below the condition NetSales > 10000 that would be used as the element value must be enclosed within the CDATA syntax as follows:

<conditional-style>

<condition style="Hi"><![CDATA[NetSales>10000]]></condition>

</conditional-style>
