Problem converting XML back to structure using XSLT

hi experts,

I am currently trying to convert this xml file back to my structure but i have been unsuccessful so far. Initially i keep getting illegal operation but now i manage to retrieve only part of my xml data(2nd record). Please enlighten, thank you~!

my structure:

types: begin of data_t,

key1(10),

key2(10),

CONTENT1(20),

CONTENT2(20),

end of data_t.

types: data_det type data_t occurs 0.

types: begin of i_det,

data_detail type data_det,

end of i_det.

data: I_DATA type table of i_det.

my xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

<asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml">

<asx:values>

<I_DATA>

<KEY2>Smith</KEY2>

<CONT>

<CONTENT2>Japan</CONTENT2>

</CONT>

</DETAIL>

<KEY1>Micheal</KEY1>

<CONT>

<CONTENT2>England</CONTENT2>

</CONT>

</DETAIL>

</I_DATA>

</asx:values>

</asx:abap> my xslt:

<xsl:transform version="1.0"

xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

xmlns:sap="http://www.sap.com/abapxml"

<xsl:template match="/">

<asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml">

<asx:values>

<I_DATA>

<xsl:for-each select="//DETAIL">

</xsl:for-each>

</I_DATA>

</asx:values>

</asx:abap>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:transform>

Point will be awarded, thank you again~!

if i had understood your question correctly, you are having problem transfomring XML into nested ITAB. here is a complete code sample for such a case.

XSLT Program

Named as "YCOMPLEX_XML_TO_ABAP"

<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:sap="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0">
  <xsl:template match="//I_DATA">
    <asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml">
      <asx:values>
        <I_DATA>

          <xsl:for-each select="DETAIL">
            <I_DATA1>
              <KEY1>
                <xsl:value-of select="KEY1"/>
              </KEY1>
              <KEY2>
                <xsl:value-of select="KEY2"/>
              </KEY2>
              <CONT>

                <xsl:for-each select="CONT">
                  <CONT1>
                    <CONTENT1>
                      <xsl:value-of select="CONTENT1"/>
                    </CONTENT1>
                    <CONTENT2>
                      <xsl:value-of select="CONTENT2"/>
                    </CONTENT2>
                  </CONT1>
                </xsl:for-each>

              </CONT>
            </I_DATA1>
          </xsl:for-each>

        </I_DATA>
      </asx:values>
    </asx:abap>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>

ABAP Program to test the transformation

REPORT  y_test_xml_tran.
TYPES: BEGIN OF con ,
       content1(20),
content2(20),
END OF con .
TYPES: contype TYPE con OCCURS 0.

TYPES: BEGIN OF i_det,
key1(10),
key2(10),
cont TYPE contype ,
END OF i_det.
DATA: i_data TYPE TABLE OF i_det.

DATA: xml_string TYPE string .
DATA: xslt_error	TYPE REF TO	cx_xslt_exception,
xslt_message	TYPE	string .

CLEAR xml_string .
CONCATENATE

`<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>`
`<asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml">`
`<asx:values>`
`<I_DATA>`
`<DETAIL>`
`<KEY1>John</KEY1>`
`<KEY2>Smith</KEY2>`
`<CONT>`
`<CONTENT1>RICK ROAD</CONTENT1>`
`<CONTENT2>Japan</CONTENT2>`
`</CONT>`
`<CONT>`

`<CONTENT2>England1</CONTENT2>`
`</CONT>`
`</DETAIL>`
`</I_DATA>`
`</asx:values>`
`</asx:abap>`
INTO xml_string .


TRY .
    CALL TRANSFORMATION (`YCOMPLEX_XML_TO_ABAP`)
    SOURCE XML  xml_string
    RESULT     i_data = i_data.
  CATCH cx_xslt_exception INTO xslt_error.
    xslt_message = xslt_error->get_text( ).
ENDTRY.

Hope this helps.
