Call Transformation-- Run Time Error --XML XSLT -- Simple Tranformation

[Former Member]

I have a requiremnt where I have to upload XML into an internal table with field names...

I am using the Call Transformation statement for this.. I keep getting the same error when ever I run it..

Run Time Error---Error analysis

An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.

The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_ST_MATCH_ELEMENT', was not caught

and

therefore caused a runtime error.

The reason for the exception is:

XML matching error

Expected was element-start: "xyz" [ ] Read was invalid: " " [ ].

XML File

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

- <xyz>

<book>gvbhfghgfhf</book>

SAP Simple Transformation source code from T.code XSLT_TOOL

<?sap.transform simple?>

<tt:transform template="temp1"

xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates" xmlns:def="http://www.sap.com/abapxml/types/defined">

<tt:root name="T_BOOK"/>

<tt:root name="T_AUTH"/>

<tt:root name="T_TIT"/>

<tt:root name="T_GEN"/>

<tt:template name="temp1">

<xyz>

<book>

<tt:value ref="T_BOOK"/>

</book>

<author>

<tt:value ref="T_AUTH"/>

</author>

<title>

<tt:value ref="T_TIT"/>

</title>

<genre>

<tt:value ref="T_GEN"/>

</genre>

</xyz>

</tt:template>

</tt:transform>

Is the minus sign really in the XML ? if yes, that's the problem, remove it (it's invalid to have something at this place)

Its not in the notepad file but when I open it in internet explorer etc it appears... But cant see the '-' in the internal table though.

I have also found one interesting this, when i pass the XML directly i.e hard code it there is no exception caused...

I ve found the problem .. i was passing the whole internal table with header line of type string into the Call Transformation statement whereas i should be passing only the work area..

Thanks Sandra

[Sandra_Rossi]

header lines are obsolete, don't use them, you'll avoid problems

[Former Member]

Thanks for the tip but SAP still has some F.Ms etc which need them .. So I guess I am just waiting for SAP to really do something about it

[Sandra_Rossi]

I'd like to know at least one FM which really reads or returns the header line of a TABLES parameter. Note: FMs may change the header line of course but it is the same value as one row in the internal table body, we should use this last.

Okay, maybe there are a few ones, but it's very rare.

Internal tables without header line may be transmitted to TABLES parameters without any problem.
