SPRX070 - Avoid using tables without surrounding tag for individual lines

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SPRX - Proxy Generation

• Message number: 070

• Message text: Avoid using tables without surrounding tag for individual lines

What causes this issue?

The interface description defined a repetition group (a strictly
table-type structure):
<sequence maxOcxurs="unbounded">
<choice maxOcxurs="unbounded">
<group maxOcxurs="unbounded">
We do not recommend this definition because the individual table rows in
the XML instance do not have a surrounding tag.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Example
The XML schema contains:
<element name="Struc">
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="Field1" type="string"/>
<sequence maxOccurs="unbounded">
<element name="Field2" type="string" minOccurs="0"/>
<element name="Field3" type="string" minOccurs="0"/>
</sequence>
<element name="Field4" type="string"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>
A valid XML fragment is as follows:
<Struc>
<Field1>xxx</Field1>
<Field2>yyy</Field2>
<Field3>zzz</Field3>
<Field2>xxx</Field2>
<Field3>yyy</Field3>
<Field4>zzz</Field4>
</Struc>
In this scenario there are several problems for the handling of the
mapping between ABAP structures and xml data:
1. If all fields are optional it is impossible to derive all table rows
uniquely. In the above example, the ABAP table could have 2, 3 or 4
lines.
2. If some of the optional fields are missing, the simple transformation
used for mapping the xml to ABAP will have problems determining when the
table lines are finished and might even lose the information of <Field4>
<(>,<)><ZH> ie there is a risk of dataloss. </>
3. In some situations, e.g. with tables inside tables, some of which
have no line tags, <ZH>endless loops </>may occur inside the simple
transformation.

System Response

A warning appears for this type.

How to fix this error?

Define the repetition groups with
<element maxOccurs="unbounded" ...>
