Error in Mapping of external RFC reponse

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I have big problems with my current scenario. I tried to call a C-program by using RFC connection.

<u><b>synchronous RFC scenario:</b></u>

<b>request:</b>

<u>Sender SAP-System RFC-Adapter> XI RFC-Adapter> receiver C-program</u>

on both sides I use RFC-Adapter and the flags of unicode is also set,

on sender side I have created a simple RFC adapter, this side works without problems.

On receiver side I have create an external RFC call. Here a RFC destination which is created on my SAP XI sap Gateway is invoked by the RFC Adapter. My C-program registers the program id of this RFC at receiver side. So by testing the RFC connection (transaction SM59) the RFC works fine.

The request mapping includes on both side the same RFC-structure.

<b>response</b>

<u>Sender SAP-System <RFC XI <RFC receiver C-program</u>

The response mapping includes on both side the same RFC response structure.

When I execute my scenario by calling the ABAP-Program in my SAP system, it seems that request works fine, but during the response in the integration engine following error occurs:

So could anybody help me.

Thanks a lot.

Do the changes in your ABAP program.

it will work.

Hi mario,

Your main error is

>>>#0 not allowed in Character data sections(:main:, row:1, col:377)

just remove your entry related with #0 at mentioned address.

It may solve your problem.

***PS: Reward points if USE FUL****

Hi Jai,

thanks for your fast reply.

I have checked my payload but there is no col. 377. When I copy the following response payload into the mapping test tool it works fine.

Hi Mario,

Long after you faced the issue, I am encountering the same error. I cant see #0 in the payload at the specified position.Can you please let me know, how you resolved the issue?

Mario,

Your response XML is not valid. Check the XML<b> row:1, col:377</b> for any escape characters.
