I am using the Package function to copy an XML node into a target string. The function seems to 'escape' the XML tag initiators. For e.g.
'<Message>' comes out as '& lt;Message & gt;'

Does anyone know if there is another function which can be used instead of Package to avoid this? Or any way to control the behaviour of the Package function?

What version of WTX are you using?

I use PACKAGE() to output XML without issue, how are you capturing/viewing the input/output?

I suggest you use the backup option to verify the input card and create an output card with a simple rule like =PACKAGE(nnnnn)

View the data in a simple editor like vi or notepad to ensure the viewing app doesn't change the rendering of the data.

I use WTX 8.2.0.3

I followed this suggestion by user "thorstenhirsch" and it worked for me: -

"I also had this problem when putting XML data into a SOAP envelope. All the characters were transformed to quoted text.

You can specify an "any" element in your xsd with processContents="lax". Then you put the inner XML data into this any element with PACKAGE()."

Many thanks
