Genie xml macro

[susana.henriques]

Hello.

I've been using xml macros for a while, but I'm having a problem with this one. Is there any limitation on the size/length of the link?
Thank you

Error:
Unmatched variable "VNDCSUP". The error occurred at line 39, column 27.

The only limit I'm aware of is the max values that will fit in 32 bit integer (which is around 4 billion.)

Can you tell us what problem you're having, exactly? The more information you can provide, the more likely it is that we'll be able to help.

When the macro is "opened" on the browser, it says that the variable "VNDCSUP" doesn't exist, but it's defined on the xml file.
I've done more testing and figured it out, one of the variables contains a cardinal (#) and for some reason, it causes the error.

Thanks anyway.

The # character has a special meaning in a URL, so must be escaped as %23

Thank you!
