This means that the xml is malformed.

regarding sending mail with XML attachment check out the following code sample (in FM format)

import parameters:

SENDER_ID TYPE AD_SMTPADR

SUBJECT TYPE SO_OBJ_DES

tables parameter

RECEPIENTS TYPE BCSY_SMTPA

RETURN TYPE TABLE_OF_STRINGS

top include data declaration

Hi Raja,

Earlier problem was Invalid at the top level of the document

https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-discussions/send-mail-with-xml-document-attached/m-p/6231876#M1380732 7/8
27/4/24, 19:57 Solved: Re: Send Mail with XML document attached - SAP Community

it is due to XML header #<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

now i have added OPTIONS addition to the CALL TRANSFORMATION statement to avoid header

Now The syntax is

CALL TRANSFORMATION (`ID`) OPTIONS XML_HEADER = 'no'

SOURCE flights = flights[]

RESULT XML output.

but now the header coming like #<asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml"

version="1.0">

because of # key it is not able to open the file.still message Invalid at the top level of the
document is coming

after CALL TRANSFORMATION statement in output parameter There is no # at the begining .

Please suggest how to delete # .

Regards,

Rajkumar
