<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:

can be solved by appending the $SERVICEPERFDATA$ macro with a

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:
