Hello!

I guess you used the wiki here https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/iXML+-+Create+XML+file correct?
Did you check your filename? The example points to an "I:" drive, maybe you do not have it?
Did you check in debug which passage got no result?

I changed the path to local drive C: and still no output.
