Error converting XML to String

Question

I'm trying to use getXMLString() to put my XML document in a String variable. I get the following when I try to output the String:
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<ERROR>oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: This object has been closed. If the close() was implicit, and you would like the object not to be closed between calls, see the keepCursorAlive() method</ERROR>
If I just output the XML doc without putting it into a String variable it works fine.
System.out.println(q.getXMLString()); //OK
// get the XML document in string format
String xmlString = q.getXMLString(); //NOT OK
System.out.println(xmlString);
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Melani

Hi,
SMUM_XML_PARSE is a simplified, unreleased and undocumented version of the powerful, released and documented iXML
If you look at the GET_ELEMENT subroutine in that function module, you'll see that the nodes of type CO_NODE_CDATA_SECTION are simply ignored.
The simpliest thing for you, maybe, is to duplicate the code of SMUM_XML_PARSE (as it is rather easy to handle), and add a section to GET_ELEMENT. You'll have also to use IF_IXML_CDATA_SECTION interface and ixml_iid_cdata_section constant.
Documentation is here: [SAP Library: Interface if_ixml_cdata_section|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/bb/576658dca511d4990b00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm ]
