SAP 4.7 XML data exchange using XSLT

Hello All,

Hopefully the right place to post such article but here goes any way.

My project involves producing XML files and then reading them back into to SAP internal tables. I am ok with writing SAP data to external XML file but reading it back in is causing a lot of head scratching.

I am able to double click the XML file and it launches Ok in Internet Explorer.

I am also able to debug the xslt file from within SE80 and the correct output is displayed.

However, where I am trying to read the contents of the xml file via the Call Transformation procedure call my output table is not getting populated but instead I am recieving an error message saying the following is not correct:

xmlns:sapxsl="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl

but the above line is placed automaticlly in the XSLT when you create a new one from within SE80.

I am new to SAP ABAP development so not sure what's exactly wrong.

Any help on this issue will be greatfully appreciated. Thanks in Advance,

Wasif

The exact error message I'm getting is :
