XML to DDIC Tables

Question

I need to import an xml file lookgin like this:
<TABLE>
  <TABNAME>COMM_PRODUCT</TABNAME>
  <FIELDNAMES>
     <FIELDNAME>CLIENT</FIELDNAME>
     <FIELDNAME>PRODUCT_ID</FIELDNAME>
  </FIELDNAMES>
</TABLE>
The above XML has been created using the following XSLT:
<?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:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:output method="xml" />
<xsl:variable name="fieldnames" select="//asx:abap/asx:values/FIELDCAT" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0">
<asx:values>
<xsl:apply-templates select="//ZTESTSWB"/>
</asx:values>
</asx:abap>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="//ZTESTSWB">
  <ZTESTSWB>
    <xsl:for-each select="*">
     <!column &amp;gt;&amp;lt;xsl:apply-templates&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/column>
    <xsl:copy>
         <xsl:apply-templates select="text()"/>
          <xsl:for-each select="@FIELDNAMES|*">
           <FIELDNAME><xsl:value-of select="FIELDNAME"/></FIELDNAME>
          </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </ZTESTSWB>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I have also declared an internal table looking like this:
Table: META
Structure:
ZTESTSWB
TABNAME
FIELDNAMES (Reference table type)
                FIELDNAME
When using the command
Call transformation with the parameters:
SOURCE XML (xml string)
RESULT ZTESTSWB = META.
the result is :
Format error at the XML Element of type text, name: "{}"
Thank you for your help.

Hi Raja,
Thank you for the welcome.
I use the SAP internal XSLT program, the stylesheet declaration is just a copy of another program.
here is the XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" xmlns:xa="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis:mddataset" version="1.0">
<asx:values>
<ZTESTSWB>
<TABNAME>COMM_PRODUCT</TABNAME>
  <REFTAB />
  <FIELDNAMES>
  <FIELDNAME>CLIENT</FIELDNAME>
  <FIELDNAME>PRODUCT_GUID</FIELDNAME>
  <FIELDNAME>PRODUCT_ID</FIELDNAME>
  <FIELDNAME>PRODUCT_TYPE</FIELDNAME>
  <FIELDNAME>CONFIG</FIELDNAME>
  <FIELDNAME>XNOSEARCH</FIELDNAME>
  <FIELDNAME>OBJECT_FAMILY</FIELDNAME>
  <FIELDNAME>BATCH_DEDICATED</FIELDNAME>
  <FIELDNAME>COMPETITOR_PROD</FIELDNAME>
  <FIELDNAME>VALID_FROM</FIELDNAME>
  <FIELDNAME>VALID_TO</FIELDNAME>
  <FIELDNAME>UPNAME</FIELDNAME>
  <FIELDNAME>HISTEX</FIELDNAME>
  <FIELDNAME>LOGSYS</FIELDNAME>
  </FIELDNAMES>
  </ZTESTSWB>
<ZTESTSWB>
  <TABNAME>COMM_CATEGORY</TABNAME>
  <REFTAB />
  <FIELDNAMES>
  <FIELDNAME>CLIENT</FIELDNAME>
  <FIELDNAME>CATEGORY_GUID</FIELDNAME>
  <FIELDNAME>CATEGORY_ID</FIELDNAME>
  <FIELDNAME>HIERARCHY_GUID</FIELDNAME>
  <FIELDNAME>PARENT_GUID</FIELDNAME>
  <FIELDNAME>NON_ASSIGNABLE</FIELDNAME>
  <FIELDNAME>VALID_FROM</FIELDNAME>
  <FIELDNAME>VALID_TO</FIELDNAME>
  <FIELDNAME>UPNAME</FIELDNAME>
  <FIELDNAME>HISTEX</FIELDNAME>
  <FIELDNAME>LOGSYS</FIELDNAME>
  </FIELDNAMES>
</ZTESTSWB>
</asx:values>
</asx:abap>
The internal table(s) has been declared exactly like the XML structure.
