Error using CALL TRANSFORMATION to transfer XML to ABAP structure

[Former Member]

Hi,

I use CALL TRANSFORMATION to transfer XML to ABAP structure. But error occurred. But an exception from the class CX_SY_MOVE_CAST_ERROR was caught. Error content is 'No valid source context supplied'. What is the possible reason for such error?

Thanks a lot.

Best regards,

Hi abby,

1. just check out if syntax is like the on in the program.

itab --- > xml

xml ---> itab.

2. This program will do both.

(just copy paste in new program)

3.

REPORT abc.

DATA

DATA : t001 LIKE TABLE OF t001 WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA : BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,

a(100) TYPE c,

END OF itab.

DATA: xml_out TYPE string .

DATA : BEGIN OF upl OCCURS 0,

f(255) TYPE c,

END OF upl.

DATA: xmlupl TYPE string .

Mostly the XML data file may not contain any data or else if it contains data, it is not in the sepecified format.

To load data into SAP internal table from XML the data needs to be specified correctly in the format SAP understands.

Hi,

Thank you for your answers.

The XML is sent out from XI and it contains content.

Must the data type and data length of XML definition be the same with the ABAP structure definition?

Thank you.

Welcome to SDN

'No valid source context supplied' generally happen when the source xml is blank or not in the right format.

anyhow , if you post a sample of the xml file and the definition of your target ABAP internal table and the XLST program, we can see whether anything is wrong.

(note that in the XSLT program the ELEMENT (which represents a itab column) name has to be in upper case

Hi

Change trying the declaration part of Result table

instead  of  DATA :result_table TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF char2048.

change it to

DATA :result_table TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF x255.

i hope it will work
