Is it a generic pattern for all the ToValue? Or only for this case you are getting this issue. I mean to say is it a data specific issue.

I can duplicate the result you state:

DECLARE @xml [xml]
set @xml=convert(xml,N'<newdataset><table1 type="SUBJECT"><fromvalue>ABILITY - 
FICTIONASDASDASDASDASD</fromvalue><tovalue>Abominable snowman - 
Fiction</tovalue></table1></newdataset>')
SELECT @xml

But I'm wondering if this is by accident; you mean to "paste":

DECLARE @xml [xml]
set @xml=convert(xml,N'<newdataset><table1 type="SUBJECT"><fromvalue>ABILITY - FICTIONASDASDASDASDASD</fromvalue><tovalue>Abominable snowman - Fiction</tovalue></table1></newdataset>')
SELECT @xml

Which looks the same, right? (Are you still with me?)
The thing is, the resulting xml for the CR containing bit (1st one) looks like:

<newdataset>
  <table1 type="SUBJECT">
    <fromvalue>ABILITY - 
FICTIONASDASDASDASDASD</fromvalue>
    <tovalue>Abominable snowman - 
Fiction</tovalue>
  </table1>
</newdataset>

And you're after (to my mind, the correct output):

<newdataset>
  <table1 type="SUBJECT">
    <fromvalue>ABILITY - FICTIONASDASDASDASDASD</fromvalue>
    <tovalue>Abominable snowman - Fiction</tovalue>
  </table1>
</newdataset>

What happens when you do this to your variable "@xml"?

SELECT REPLACE(CAST(@xml AS [nvarchar](MAX)),CHAR(13),'')

If this doesn't directly solve the problem, try playing around with the other indomitable CHAR(10) "linefeed". I suspect the stoproc problem stems from ...
something solvable by such a placement filter.
