Special characters in xml returned by abap proxy

[Former Member]

Hi,

I’m using abap proxy to connect with SAP and I have a problem with the xml that is returned. This message has some special characters like ‘<b>&</b>’ and due to this I have an error mapping.

I suppose that it is a problem in the adapter.

Can you help me with this issue?

Hi Stefan,

in response to your questions:

<u><b>What exactly is the mapping error?</b></u>

In transaction SXMB_MONI I have the following error:

-

---

> A semi colon character was expected. Error processing resource 'file:///D:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Local Setti...

If I test my mapping with the xml message returned by SAP (via abap proxy) I have the following <b><u>parsing error</u></b>:

> For instance, in the xml message, in short_text I have a <b>&</b> and not the escape:

<SHORT_TEXT>WHISKY J<b>&</b>B RARE 70CL</SHORT_TEXT>

The same example with escape

<SHORT_TEXT>WHISKY J<b>& amp ;</b>B RARE 70CL</SHORT_TEXT>

<u><b>What version has the application system where the proxy is running?</b></u>

I have no 6.20 system for testing your scenario, but from your description I would say, it is a bug. In XI 3.0 the ABAP proxies do the escaping of & and other characters.

Send an OSS message.
