XML to Internal table using XSLT by CALL TRANSFORMATION error

Question

Dear experts,
I have to fetch the data from an XML file using XSLT into internal tables. The XML file is very big as following:-
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>

This is not the complete XML file as it exceeds the 15000 characters and then I cann't post here. So I have deleted much part of it.
The hierarchy is as following: Shipment->Delivery->Order->Carton->Item.
I have created a XSLT for it which is working fine.
But when I execute my report program it gives CX_SY_XSLT_FORMAT_ERROR saying that
Transformation error:  Non-canonical structure of element name XML_OUTPUT.
