Simple transformation from XML to ITAB. Field length above char 255 not working.

Hi! Experts,

I have an  requirement in which I have to do a transformation from an XML file to internal table in which structure has a field of char1000 or string.

I used the transaction XSLT_TOOL and created a Simple transformation with the table type of required structure. But when I call the transform statement the text in the field gets truncated at 255 characters as it is returned in the internal table.

Please guide me how I can overcome this.

Thanks and Regards,

Arbaaz
