Hi, I have a variable in report heading and that variable contains HTML tags (like
<HTML><B>
)in it. Its currently erroring out becoz of the '<' sign. is there any way to somehow mask the '<' sign and still retain the HTML tags. I already tried doing a computed field for the "," sign but it adds a space after the sign and becoz of that the tag is not valid anymore. and also i cannot create a computed field with that variable and use the field in the heading as my result set has more than million records. Here is the Sample code.
-SET &HEAD = '<html><body><div> This is test sample </div>
need to retain the html tags </p> </body> </html>';
-SET &HEAD1 = '<LT|html><LT|body><LT|div> This is test sample <LT|/div> <LT|p> need to retain the html tags <LT|/p> <LT|/body> <LT|/html>';
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
CAR
COMPUTE LT/A1='<';
HEADING
-*"&HEAD.EVAL"
-*"&HEAD1.EVAL"
" "
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF
ON TABLE SET PAGE NOLEAD
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
UNITS=IN,
TYPE=REPORT,GRID=OFF,FONT='ARIAL',SIZE=8,STYLE=NORMAL, $
TYPE=HEADING,ITEM=1,SIZE=10,STYLE=BOLD,COLSPAN =3,$
ENDSTYLE
END

try using &|lt; and &|rt; for the left pointy bracket and right pointy bracket.
when you want to post code to this forum, surround your code with the code tags (see the little red icon right on the top of your edit message window)

Hi Susannah, I tried &|lt; and &|gt; but they are not getting replaced as '<' and '>' in the Excel report heading output.

I tried storing &HEAD into a define and then used the define field in the header and it shows the text.
-SET &HEAD = '<|html><|body><|div> This is test sample <|/div> need to retain the html tags <|/p> <|/body> <|/html>';
-SET &HEAD1 = ' This is test sample need to retain the html tags ';
DEFINE FILE CAR
HEAD_DESC/A&HEAD.LENGTH='&HEAD.EVAL';
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
CAR
COMPUTE LT/A1='<';
HEADING
"<HEAD_DESC"
"&HEAD1.EVAL"

Hi Crymsyn, I cannot use Define or Compute as my report result set is very big (more than million)

What happens when you use a define ?
It should work.

More then a million?
I hope nobody needs to read or print this report. I would kost many trees.
Can you explain why you want to do this ? I get the feeling there is more behind this question.

wf_developer,
How is this output going to be used ?
You are talking about more than a million rows.
I did not think any excel would read all of it.

Basically its a scheduled report which gets bursted to many users and most of the times the result set before bursting is more than million records.
-SET &LETH = '<';
-SET &LESS = '!IBI.AMP.LETH;';
-SET &HEAD = &LESS |'html>' | &LESS | 'body>' | &LESS | 'div> This is test sample' |

- &LESS | '/p> ' | &LESS | '/body>' | &LESS | '/html>';
-SET &HEAD1 = ' This is test sample need to retain the html tags ';
