Hi,

After converting a SAP file to XML with function SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT, I get the following error or message when trying to open the generetaed XML file:

The XML page cannot be displayed.

A name was started with an invalid character. Error processing resource 'file://sapdev/sapmnt/Daily/SAQ/Output/OUTBOUND2009...

<?xml version="1.0"?><OUTBOUND><%_T00004S00000000O0000002096/><%_T00004S00000000O0000002096><NAME...

Here is the code:

  concatenate sy-datum '_' sy-uzeit '.xml' into filename.
  concatenate '\\sapdev\sapmnt\Daily\SAQ\Output\OUTBOUND' filename into infile.

  filename = infile.

  data doc_name(30) value 'OUTBOUND'.

  clear: xml_table[], totalSize.

  CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT'
    EXPORTING
      I_FILENAME           = infile
      I_XML_DOC_NAME       = doc_name
    IMPORTING
      PE_BIN_FILESIZE      = totalSize
    TABLES
      I_TAB_SAP_DATA       = xml_file_list
    CHANGING
      I_TAB_CONVERTED_DATA = xml_table
    EXCEPTIONS
      CONVERSION_FAILED    = 1
      OTHERS               = 2.

  check not xml_table[] is initial.


  CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      FILENAME   = filename
      FILETYPE   = 'BIN'
    IMPORTING
      FILELENGTH = totalSize
    TABLES
      DATA_TAB   = xml_table
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS     = 22.

  IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
            WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
  ENDIF.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have change the path to my presentation server and added the XML tag as follows:

"C:\Documents and Settings\APolo\My Documents\outbound.xml" , but still the same result.

How does it suppose to be formatted the internal table I_TAB_SAP_DATA ?

Thanks.
