This is a limitation of XML. You can't use a < except to start a new xml tag. You have two options:

Option 1: use an "entity" to define the <

<SqlDef Name="BookstoreReportTutorial" GroupName="BookstoreReportTutorial">
 ...
 and ${filterIfNotNull:argQtySoldHigh, QUANTITY_SOLD &lt;= $argQtySoldHigh$}
 ...
</SqlDef>

Option 2: put the entire sql text in a <![CDATA]> enclosure

<SqlDef Name="BookstoreReportTutorial" GroupName="BookstoreReportTutorial"><![CDATA]></SqlDef>

(Retrieval Field) <= (Custom Filter Field)

361

What is a work around for this?
