RFC to XI File - can NEVER EVER get more than one record in Output file.

Question

Hi guys
This might be related to my other post on  File conversion but whatever I do I just can't seem to get more than one record in the output file
the payload from R3==> XI seems fine
for example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <rfc:Z_XI_005_RFC xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
- <IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER>
- <item>
  <CUSTOMERID>1000001</CUSTOMERID>
  <COMPANY>One-time ship-to</COMPANY>
  <SHORT_NAME>ONE-TIME</SHORT_NAME>
  <STREET />
  <STREET2 />
  <STREET3 />
  <STREET4 />
...... more data
</item>
then next customer  master data and so on
- <item>
  <CUSTOMERID>1000005</CUSTOMERID>
  <COMPANY>ddfask</COMPANY>
  <SHORT_NAME>;LK;L</SHORT_NAME>
  <STREET />
  <STREET2 />
  <STREET3 />
  <STREET4/>
etc etc until
<HKUNNR>60000</HKUNNR>
  <SALES_REGION />
  </item>
  </IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER>
  </rfc:Z_XI_005_RFC>  
All I get on the Output target file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns1:MT_customer_header xmlns:ns1="http://avenue.com/xi/test">
  <CustomerId>1000001</CustomerId>
  <company>One-time ship-to</company>
  <shortname>ONE-TIME</shortname>
.... more data
  </ns1:MT_customer_header>
the <item> and subsequent records all seem to have vanished.
I must be doing something PARTICULARLY stupid as nobody else ever seems to have this problem --  I've tried almost every possible combination but still to no avail
The function module is passing a table to XI in the correct structure and the payload seems to be fine so what on earth is broken here !!!,.

Answer 1

Thanks everybody -- it's working now
RFC call was passing data correctly
function z_xi_005_rfc.
""Local interface:
*"  TABLES
*"      IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER STRUCTURE  ZAP_CUSTOMER_INFO_2
endfunction.
in debug mode table data was fine -- in this instance 3 records were being passed.
3 errors  in mapping etc fixed (with help from SDN - thanks)
1)  missing the ITEM level in the Data type (hence mapping)
2)  needed 0:unbounded in the occurrence
3)  also mapping Item====>Item was missing (sub fields were ok)
Points awarded
final file output ok output now  ok (with 3 fields only for testing)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns1:MT_customer_header xmlns:ns1="http://avenue.com/xi/test">
- <item>
  <Customerid>1000001</Customerid>
  <company>One-time ship-to</company>
  <shortname>ONE-TIME</shortname>
  </item>
- <item>
  <Customerid>1000005</Customerid>
  <company>ddfask</company>
  <shortname>;LK;L</shortname>
  </item>
- <item>
  <Customerid>1000010</Customerid>
  <company>One Time Customer Test</company>
  <shortname>SADFIWQEFG</shortname>
  </item>
  </ns1:MT_customer_header>
Now only the final problem to make file content conversion work.
Once again thanks --sometimes what seem trivial or simple problems take AGES to fix until someone else gives you a clue --that's why boards like SDN are great value.
