How to use IDoc XML for DEBMAS06 with Java?

Hello everyone,

I would like to use IDocs (as XML) to create customer masterdate.

Therefore I created a xsd-File for "DEBMAS06" (with transaction we60 --> create XML-Schema).

I downloaded this schema and created a xml.

For processing the xml I used the following example code in Java:

Creating & Sending an IDoc to ERP using JCO 3.0 and IDoc Class Library 3.0

If I load my xml with this code I get the following exception:

com.sap.conn.idoc.IDocParseException: (7) IDOC_ERROR_PARSE_FAILURE: Invalid XML 1.0 character encountered within IDocXML:

state=READING_XMLDECLARATION, charPosition=19, lineNumber=1, columnNumber=20, invalidChar=U+003E,

sourceSnippet=<?xml version="1.0"><DEBMAS06>  <IDOC BEGIN="1">    <EDI_DC40 SEGMENT="1">      <TABNAM>EDI_DC40</TA...

This is the beginning of my xml:

<?xml version="1.0">

<DEBMAS06>

  <IDOC BEGIN="1">

    <EDI_DC40 SEGMENT="1">

      <TABNAM>EDI_DC40</TABNAM>

      <MANDT>800</MANDT>

      <DOCNUM></DOCNUM>

      <DOCREL>46C</DOCREL>

      <STATUS>30</STATUS>

      <DIRECT>1</DIRECT>

      <OUTMOD>OUTMOD</OUTMOD>

      <EXPRSS>EXPRSS</EXPRSS>

      <TEST>TEST</TEST>

      <IDOCTYP>DEBMAS06</IDOCTYP>

      <CIMTYP></CIMTYP>

How can I check, if my xml is correct. Is there a function module (se37) to test my xml to find out if my java code or my xml is broken.

Does anyone maybe have a sample xml for DEBMAS06?

Best Regards

Markus
