Error in ABAP XSLT transformation

Question

Hi,
Im trying to upload some data from XML to abap. But Im getting an error while transforming xml data to internal table.
Here are the details.
XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
  <!--  Edited by XMLSpy® -->
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="ABAP1.xsl"?>
<conceptRevDecisionXml>
<projectInfo>
<projectId>P000755</projectId>
<stage>CON</stage>
<country>Ethiopia</country>
<region>AFRICA</region>
<teamleader>Priya Agarwal</teamleader>
<teamleaderfirstname>Priya</teamleaderfirstname>
<teamleaderlastname>Agarwal</teamleaderlastname>
<actionType>X</actionType>
</projectInfo>
</conceptRevDecisionXml>
XSLT: Transformation
<xsl:transform version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  xmlns:sapxsl="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl"
>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"></xsl:strip-space>
<xsl:template match="/">
    <asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0">
      <asx:values>
        <PROJID>
          <xsl:apply-templates select="//conceptRevDecisionXml"></xsl:apply-templates>
        </PROJID>
      </asx:values>
    </asx:abap>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="conceptRevDecisionXml">
      <xsl:for-each select="projectInfo">
       <xsl:value-of select="projectId"></xsl:value-of>
       <xsl:value-of select="stage"></xsl:value-of>
       <xsl:value-of select="country "></xsl:value-of>
       <xsl:value-of select="region"></xsl:value-of>
       <xsl:value-of select="teamleader"></xsl:value-of>
       <xsl:value-of select="teamleaderfirstname"></xsl:value-of>
       <xsl:value-of select="teamleaderlastname"></xsl:value-of>
        <xsl:value-of select="actionType"></xsl:value-of>
        </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
Once I run the program...Im getting an error saying...ABAP XML Formatting error in XML node..
Im new to ABAP-XML parsing..Pls help me where Im going wrong..
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Hi Priya,
you can try with the below,
1) Create a local ITAB with the structure of the XML,
TYPES: BEGIN OF t_data,
        projectid           TYPE char30,
        stage               TYPE char30,
        country             TYPE char30,
        region              TYPE char30,
        teamleader          TYPE char30,
        teamleaderfirstname TYPE char30,
        teamleaderlastname  TYPE char30,
        actiontype          TYPE char30,
       END OF t_data.
2) Create an XSLT prog in "STRANS" with the below code,
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:sap="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl" version="1.0">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0">
<asx:values>
<L_DATA>
<xsl:apply-templates select="//projectInfo"/>
</L_DATA>
</asx:values>
</asx:abap>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="projectInfo">
<conceptRevDecisionXml>
<PROJECTID>
<xsl:value-of select="projectId"/>
</PROJECTID>
<STAGE>
<xsl:value-of select="stage"/>
</STAGE>
<COUNTRY>
<xsl:value-of select="country"/>
</COUNTRY>
<REGION>
<xsl:value-of select="region"/>
</REGION>
<TEAMLEADER>
<xsl:value-of select="teamleader"/>
</TEAMLEADER>
<TEAMLEADERFIRSTNAME>
<xsl:value-of select="teamleaderfirstname"/>
</TEAMLEADERFIRSTNAME>
<TEAMLEADERLASTNAME>
<xsl:value-of select="teamleaderlastname"/>
</TEAMLEADERLASTNAME>
<ACTIONTYPE>
<xsl:value-of select="actionType"/>
</ACTIONTYPE>
</conceptRevDecisionXml>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
3) Call the transformation as shown below,
CALL TRANSFORMATION zxslt_project ---> "Name of the XSLT prog created above
SOURCE XML l_xml_str                           ---> Source XML string
RESULT l_data = l_data.                          ---> ITAB as in step 1 above
