>My code converts a string (field of a cursro) to an XML string and to a cursor. And if the string contains an ampersand sign (&), the process fails.

>This is the segment of the code:

>cAuditDescr = '<?xml version = "1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" standalone="yes"?><Changes>' +
>ALLTRIM(C_POAUDIT.AUDIT_DESC) + '</Changes>'
>XMLTOCURSOR( cAuditDescr, 'CUR_TEMP', 8192 )
>
>The error happens on the line XMLTOCURSOR() when the string AUDIT_DESC has an ampersand. I can pre-process the entry and either strip all occurrences of ampersand or replace it? Getting rid is pretty straight forward. But if I want to replace it, what character should be used?
