I have a xml open and close tag <abc> </abc>. I assign a string variable to
this tag. <abc> & NAT & </abc> . The value of the variable NAT = Cal&FLo. But
due to the presence of the ampersand. There is an exception. What do I need
to do to display & nd other special chracters correctly in xml tags.

See: Section C.12 - Using Ampersands in Attribute Values (and Elsewhere)

....or, for the impatient, try using &amp; instead of the ampersand
character.
