Thanks for quick response.
I think the problem is with special characters in the input XML file. If I don't have special characters in XML file then it works fine.
Anyway here is the XSLT code. This is a generic XSLT code which I used from one of the examples
posted on this site.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" xmlns:xa="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis:mddataset" xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="/">

<asx:values>
<!--FIELDCAT>
<xsl:apply-templates select="//YWAS_METADATA" />
</FIELDCAT-->
<OUTTAB>
<xsl:apply-templates select="//item" />
</OUTTAB>
</asx:values>
</asx:abap>
</xsl:template>
