Hi Shmuel,
Thanks for your reply.
Our next step is to try this with v8.2 and see what the result is. But I was hoping this issue had been noticed before and perhaps resolved. (Surely it must have, if only in later versions?)
What we have is a Natural subprogram exposed as a web service, in production on exx v7.3. It is only recently that a validated field contained &, and with the dropped spaces around it, the data is failing validation.
Regards,
Willie
