Displaying # (hash) character in NAV

Hi,
I need to export some texts in XML format. As we all know special characters must be formatted accordingly before I can be displayed properly in XML. For example...
<XMLTag>This isn't correct</XMLTag>
must be in the form below for be displayed correctly in XML
<XMLTag>This isn't correct</XMLTag>
The problem with NAV is that, whenever it sees a # sign, it assumes that it is a dialog tag for progress bars (I think this is what NAV is doing...), and in when exported in text file, it became:
<XMLTag>This isn& 39;t correct</XMLTag>
How do you print or display the # character in NAV? I have tried creating a char variable and assigning it to 35 (which is the ASCII code for Hash) but this does not work. Anyone have any ideas?

Are you using the xml dom to create your xml file or are you doing it manually?

Just tried that. It does not work too.
str2 := '#';
MESSAGE('&' + str2 + '39;');

OK
Brilliant solution. It works. I did not know special chars can be represented in 2 forms. the numeric form and code form. numeric form being ' and code form being '
Anyway, problem solved for this. But really... in the case that you really did need to print the character #, how do you do it in NAV? I wonder... :-k
