• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FPRUNX350 - Error when parsing XML document: &1 ?

  The SAP error message FPRUNX350 indicates that there is an issue with parsing an XML document. This error typically occurs when the XML document being processed is not well-formed or contains invalid characters or structures that prevent it from being parsed correctly.
  Causes:
  
  Malformed XML: The XML document may have syntax errors, such as missing tags, mismatched tags, or incorrect nesting.
  Invalid Characters: The XML may contain characters that are not allowed in XML documents, such as control characters or unescaped special characters (e.g., &, <, >).
  Encoding Issues: The XML document may not be encoded properly, leading to issues when the parser tries to read it.
  Schema Violations: If the XML is expected to conform to a specific schema (XSD), any deviations from that schema can cause parsing errors.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Validate the XML: Use an XML validator tool to check the XML document for well-formedness and adherence to any required schema. Fix any errors that are reported.
  Check for Special Characters: Ensure that all special characters in the XML are properly escaped. For example, replace & with &amp;, < with &lt;, and > with &gt;.
  Review Encoding: Make sure that the XML document is saved with the correct encoding (e.g., UTF-8) and that the XML declaration at the top of the document specifies the correct encoding.
  Examine the Structure: Ensure that the XML structure is correct, with all opening tags having corresponding closing tags and that the hierarchy is maintained.
  Debugging: If the error message includes a specific part of the XML document (indicated by &1), focus on that part to identify the issue.
