How to insert data with dollar ($) first with sqlxml ?

Hi,
I wish to insert the following data into an sql table using sqlxml. All
columns in the table are varchar. The crafted xml is as follow:
<ROOT xmlns:updg="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-updategram">
<updg:sync><updg:after>
<temp_Outstanding drawdownApp="LOA"
drawdownId="XYZ"
facilityId="$J5EZEFN">
</temp_Outstanding>
</updg:after></updg:sync>
</ROOT>
But this lamely fail with the following error: Invalid XML elements found
inside sync block (HRESULT="0x80004005").
The code to perform the update is as follow:
SqlXmlCommand cmd = new SqlXmlCommand(conn);
cmd.CommandType = SqlXmlCommandType.UpdateGram;
cmd.CommandText = content;
stm = cmd.ExecuteStream();
The trouble seems to come from the $J5EZEFN field. Is there a way to insert
something into a table that begin with a dollar ($) sign ?
It seems that $XXX is used to pass parameters - but, well, I do not want to
pass parameter. I just want to insert a data with a dollar ($) first.
Is there a way to do this without using stored procedure and altering the
data ?
Thanks,

Is there a way to disable parameters in this kind of xml ? I just want to
know how to espace dollar ($) when used as 1st char in a field.

As far as I know the workaround is to use a mapping schema.

BizTalk Server 2004 with an SQL send port (which does use sqlxml behind the
scene).
Since I'm having a bug with an orchestration because of a bad placed dollar
I ly thought this could be solved easily with the understanding of sqlxml
behaviour.
I'll go back to biztalk server newsgroup so...
