Hi Raja,

Earlier problem was Invalid at the top level of the document

it is due to XML header #<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

now i have added OPTIONS addition to the CALL TRANSFORMATION statement to avoid header

Now The syntax is

CALL TRANSFORMATION (`ID`) OPTIONS XML_HEADER = 'no'

SOURCE flights = flights[]

RESULT XML output.

but now the header coming like #<asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0">

because of # key it is not able to open the file.still message Invalid at the top level of the document is coming

after CALL TRANSFORMATION statement in output parameter There is no # at the begining .

Please suggest how to delete # .

Regards,

Rajkumar

[athavanraja]

the first # is what causing problem, it may be a Carriage return, or a line feed analyze it using CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF or newline and remove the same.

Raj,

Create the FM with SO_XML with out any code in the FM and add the entry in the table TSOTD.
