If you're going to be doing query highlighting in Vortex, then you want to display it in Vortex too; it's much easier (and runs faster) to use the normal column variables returned from <SQL> with <fmtcp> for highlighting, than to <SQL output=xml:ado>, capture it, and parse it multiple times for escapement/unescapement and hit markup. In other words, if you're outputting XML data, its receiver is responsible for its display formatting; if it can't do query highlighting and escapement, then let Vortex display it.

If you really need XML output with hit markup and escapement, then print the XML tags directly yourself, with the normal <SQL> column variables (eg. without OUTPUT=xml:ado) so that the XML data can be marked up and escaped as needed.

Looks like that would be the best way...

The issue was resolved with <send $ret> , the proper escapments were respected.

The term highlighting is essential so I will have to script it with standard output.

Thanks for the help
