      LessthanInAttValue

      Notice! This page describes the nature of the error using a hypothetical example and not the erroneous data of the input test file. You should however be able to apply this information to your error case.

      General description of the error:

      The format of the error message: The value of attribute \"{1}\" associated with an element type \"{0}\" must not contain the ''<'' character.

      Error description in schema standard: http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20...4/#NT-AttValue

      Possible causes for this error:

      • Character '<' is used in attribute value
      • Attribute is missing closing quotation mark "
      • Attribute value is between characters ' and ", for example <InstdAmt Ccy='JPY">10000000</InstdAmt>  Attribute value has to be closed with the same character starting it

      Example 1

      <InstdAmt Ccy="<EUR">123.45</InstdAmt>   

      Error message: Fatal Error LessthanInAttValue : The value of attribute "Ccy" associated with an element type "InstdAmt" must not contain the '<' character.

      How to fix: Remove character '<' from attribute

      <InstdAmt Ccy="EUR">123.45</InstdAmt> 

       

      Example 2

      <InstdAmt Ccy="EUR>123.45</InstdAmt> 

      Error message: Fatal Error LessthanInAttValue : The value of attribute "Ccy" associated with an element type "InstdAmt" must not contain the '<' character.

      Error meaning: From service's point of view characters < and > are found within attribute, because attribute is started but not closed

      How to fix: Add character " to mark the end location of attribute

      <InstdAmt Ccy="EUR">123.45</InstdAmt>
