I currently have no experience with the XML toolkit and am trying to figure out if I can use it for something I want to accomplish. I would like to be able to dump the contents of an adabas file to XML for use as a data connection in Excel. I have successfully generated supporting files using a PDA but when I attempt to generate it using and LDA, I consistently get the error > [@](#): > > E\_0002: No file is available with specified name or number. (DDM INVMASTR-XML not found) I am trying to generate it using the following options: Project: RN2 Library: RN2 Object type: Local Data Area Object name: INVXMLL INVXMLL has the following view definition: ```auto 1 INVXMLL-VIEW VIEW OF INVMASTR-XML ``` We typically keep DDMs in a SYSTEM library but I even created the DDM in my library in case that was the problem. The DDM is: ```auto DB: 001 FILE: 060 - INVMASTR-XML DEFAULT SEQUENCE: TYPE: ADABAS ``` I can successfully read this view via the INVXMLL LDA. Should I be able to use the toolkit to create the object necessary for dumping a file to XML. If so, any idea why I get the error message in NaturalONE? Thank you. ---

A generation is only possible for top level groups not views. One reason for this is, that a view can’t be part of a parameter data area which is used by the generated code. ---
