Re: Special Characters with CGIDEV2

I am trying to display Spool files in a browser using RPG and CGIDEV2

special characters like & < > (I update the HTML variables using
updHTMLvar() function)

How is it possible to "trick" the XML to not consider these characters
as special ones? I found a function htmlentities(), but it seems like
this function is not available with CGIDEV2.


You don't trick anything. You follow the standard and encode the special characters (&amp; &lt; etc.). Scan and replace.
