Stop PDM from stripping <> characters

I have an XML file, an XML data card, all the attributes mapped and a nice SQL function that extracts a data set into a block of XML.

The data is written correctly between the database and the data card, leaving the nicely formed XML in place.

When the file attribute moves the block of XML from and edit field on the data card into the file schema, it wipes out the <> symbols and replaces them with < and > respectively, killing the XML schema.

The correct structureMessed up text

Any help would be most gratefully received.
