Output message with escaped characters

[sapenthusiast_sapenthusia]

Hi Gurus, I have a requirement wherein we need to send  escaped characters to the target system. For example we have the following as an output: test We need to have the output below for the sample message above: &ltroot&gt &lttext&gttest&lt/text&gt &lt/root&gt I understand that CDATA can be used to perform the reverse process wherein the escaped characters can be 'unescaped'. Can we do this via XSL?

Hello,

Yes you can do this via XSL.

To convert into XSL, you need to use the namespace standard of w3c.org.

Thanks Souvik, there's no need for CDATA? would you know how I can have the escaped output?

Hello,

There is no need for CDATA.

For escaped output, you need to convert into corresponding XSL, and for doing that, please use the following tag.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

For addtional info on converting in XSL, please refer below link:

Just for further info : "<" gets converted to "&lt", ">" gets converted into "&gt", etc. in XSL.

Regards,

Souvik
