Include Special Characters in Fields
When you use Calyx RIM Data Exchange to add an entity that includes special characters in the name or code fields, use a CDATA block to add the special characters.
In the following example, an asterisk is added in a CDATA block in order to include the asterisk symbol (*) in a Product Family name or code.
<value><![CDATA[VKP *]]></value>The following special characters can be used in entity name or code fields only if they are included within a CDATA block:
! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + | \ / < >
This example shows how all of the special characters can be included for use in the entity names or codes.
<value><![CDATA[VKPF !@#$%^&*()_+|\/<>}?{]]></value>Note: Although
Calyx RIM Data Exchange can accept special characters when performing import functionality the
Calyx RIM User Interface might not display data containing special characters as expected. It is strongly recommended that special characters be removed from data before it is imported into
Calyx RIM.

Special Characters in your
Calyx RIM online help or user guide.)
