XML output showing error in Browser

[Sandra_Rossi]

Hi,

I am generating an XML output using call transformation & this is followed by downloading to an .xml file on my PC desktop.

" Get Item Info.
call transformation zfilerunds
   source requestfile = ls_checks
   result xml ls_xml_result .

append ls_xml_result to it_xml_out.

data: fname  type string.

fname = 'C:\Users\ \OneDrive\Desktop\Refunds1.xml'.
call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
  exporting
    filename = fname
    filetype = 'ASC'
    replacement = ''
  changing
    data_tab = it_xml_out "it_xml_bkdata
  exceptions
    others   = 24.

Its the same on Edge, Chrome or Firefox browsers. Please suggest me if i need to do any setting for xml handling.

Means invalid XML.

We can't do the job for you, if you don't provide any information about file contents.

• Right-click "Display XML source" and you will see the content of the file.
• Or just display Refunds1.xml with notepad.

Hi Sandra, The file error as can be seen is

error on line 1 at column 7: XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document

I right clicked and see below snapshot of my XML file..

Any ideas now?

change zfilerunds to ID and try again.

Hi Yu, I didn't get you.Can you please elaborate?

[xiaosanyu]

DATA: lv_xml TYPE string.

CALL TRANSFORMATION id
  SOURCE source = <abap_structure>
  RESULT XML lv_xml.

CALL FUNCTION 'DOWNLOAD'
  EXPORTING
    filename             = 'file.xml'
    filetype             = 'ASC'
  TABLES
    data_tab             = lv_xml.

Using this code demo, check if the generated XML file can be opened

Also, you can show me the content of your XML file so that I can check the problem

Hi Xu, I shared the pic of the XML contents..

zfilerunds is the name of my XMLfile. How can i make it to ID.

Can you send me the syntax?
