XML_FORMAT_ERROR ABAP Runtime Error

Correct your XML document. The read XML document had an invalid format. Please see abap error for more details about the possible cause of this runtime error and how it could be avoided.

The XML format was recognized as invalid for one of the following reasons:

1. The basic structure of the document was incorrect - for example, the root tag must be in the XML namespace "http://www.sap.com/abapxml".

2. Start tags appear where no more are expected - for example, when an integer value is to be read.

3. You have to specify the correct version number to read certain data types.

4. Too few or too many properties exist. The XML document did not have the specified format. Therefore, it could not be interpreted correctly.
