CDATA in XML

I am parsing some XML data which contains a !CDATA section. This section is not being parsed correctly. For example, with this XML:

<Product>
<Description>
<![CDATA[EX BK A4+ PLAIN PURPLE 40PG BX50]]>
</Description>
</Product>

If I use this:
adata = XMLGet(xdata,"/Product/Description");

adata returns ]]>

If I use XMLCountChildren on "Product/Description" it returns 0.

So, I don't think Standard ERP is capable of parsing CDATA sections. Is that correct?

Well it seems that even this forum doesn't like it! Let's try this, with curly brackets rather than < and >.

{Product}
{Description}
{![CDATA[SLAZENGER V200 PANTHER BAT S/HANDLE]]}
{/Description}
{/Product}

Hello,

No, Standard ERP does not support CDATA sections.
