PROBLEM

 

When writing an XML script, for example to email a customer, there is often a need to include non-UK characters. These can cause a load error when trying to run the script.

SOLUTION

Please paste the following line into the script above the <Job> statement.  In most cases it will allow these characters to be used.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

If an ?xml line already exists, try changing the encoding.

Sometimes the solution is to use a suitable encoding along with the <![CDATA[....]]> statements
