VAT declaration in XML - Problem with report RFASLDPC

Question

Hello all,
I have a problem with the report RFASLDPC. We use it to download an XML file that we generated which contains the VAT declaration.
In the report RFASDLPC, there is a FORM named QUELLFILE_PRUEFEN which stop the report and display a message : "Data file FILE_NAME is not correct".
The reason is that QUELLFILE_PRUEFEN checks (for Belgium) that the beginning of my document starts with '000000' (six times zero). But this is impossible for an XML file to begin with '000000'. An XML file must begin with "<?xml version="1.0" ?>" or a least "<".
Here is the code :
FORM QUELLFILE_PRUEFEN.
  OPEN DATASET PAR_PATH FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
  IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
    MESSAGE E306 WITH PAR_PATH.        ''Quellfile nicht vorhanden
  ENDIF.
  READ DATASET PAR_PATH INTO HLP_RECORD.
  CASE PAR_FTYP.
    WHEN 'AT'.                         ''ASL Österreich
      IF HLP_RECORD(1) NE 'I' OR HLP_RECORD+46(2) NE 'ZM'.
        MESSAGE A185(FR) WITH PAR_PATH.
      ENDIF.
    WHEN 'BE'.                         ''ASL Belgien
      IF HLP_RECORD(6) NE '000000'.
        MESSAGE A185(FR) WITH PAR_PATH.
      ENDIF.
    WHEN 'ES'.                         ''ASL Spanien
*     IF HLP_RECORD(1) NE '1' OR HLP_RECORD+104(3) NE '349'.
      IF HLP_RECORD(1) NE '1' OR HLP_RECORD+1(3) NE '349'.
        MESSAGE A185(FR) WITH PAR_PATH.
      ENDIF.
    when 'FI'.
      if hlp_record(3) ne '000'.
        MESSAGE A185(FR) WITH PAR_PATH.
      ENDIF.
  ENDCASE.
  CLOSE DATASET PAR_PATH.
The line :
READ DATASET PAR_PATH INTO HLP_RECORD.
Put the 128 first character of the XML file in HLP_RECORD because HLP_RECORD is defined as :
HLP_RECORD(128) TYPE C
So as I work in Belgium, it is the condition :
WHEN 'BE'.                         ''ASL Belgien
      IF HLP_RECORD(6) NE '000000'.
        MESSAGE A185(FR) WITH PAR_PATH.
      ENDIF.
which is checked. But this condition cleary check if the beginning of the XML is '000000' and if it is not, it stop the program.
I searched for all the SAP notes about RFASLDPC but I found none about this problem.
Did someone else have also this problem ? Did you find a way to solve this ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best Regards.
Gregory Pierre.
