Importing an idoc with namespace extension gives strange XML tagnames in PI

Question

Hello All,
We have created an extension to the ORDERS05 idoc in a namespace. The extension is called "/cclcl/zorders05", "/cclcl/" is the ABAP namespace. We want to use this Idoc in SAP PI and send the Idoc in XML format to a external party. The XML format of the Idoc is generated in SAP PI, when we import the idoc in the Enterprise Service Repository. The root element of the XML is being generated as  <_-CCLCL_-ZORDERS05> (see idoc xml example below). The "/" characters are converted to "_-" and therefore the XML rootelement looks very strange. How can we use idoc extensions under a ABAP namespace and have normal rootelements in the idoc xml of SAP PI (without the "_-" characters)?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<_-CCLCL_-ZORDERS05>
<IDOC BEGIN="">
<EDI_DC40 SEGMENT="">
<TABNAM/>
<MANDT/>
<DOCNUM/>
<DOCREL/>
<STATUS/>
<DIRECT/>
<OUTMOD/>
<SUNIT/>
<WAERQ/>
</E1EDS01>
</IDOC>
</_-CCLCL_-ZORDERS05>
Kind regards,
Mark

Hi, Mark van Dooren
I think i could not put the statement in  proper manner in previous post ,i feel,
when u import a Idoc from an R/3 system,u will get the XML structure in which u will be haveing the '/' character
replaced by '_-'.
And when u use this XML structure(of Idoc)  and export it to the external system,then the structure will be automatically converted into the normal XML structure in destination system.
This part u need not to take care externally.....
I hope i made my statement clear..
