CALL TRANSFORMATION formatting issues

Former Member — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 12:47:15 GMT

Hi,

I am using CALL TRANSFORMATION with a simple transformation:

<?sap.transform simple?>

<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">

<tt:root name="ROOT"/>

<tt:template>

<bopf_bo>

<tt:copy ref="ROOT"/>

</bopf_bo>

</tt:template>

</tt:transform>

to transform a dynamic deep internal table into XML.

My first issue is that the ouput of the call transformation is not a formatted string with tabs and lines e.g.

<bopf_bo>

<item>

<name>

abc

</name>

...

</item>

</bobf_bo>

I could not find an option of the CALL TRANSFORMATION to format the output in a readable form so you can read it

even in a simple text editor, not only loaded in a browser.

My second issue is that I would like to nicely display this in e.g. as HTML. Is there a way to automatically genarate

XSL stylesheet the same way the XML was generated out of the internal table?

Does anyone know how these can be solved?

Thanks,

Ivaylo.

Hello. I don´t understand your problem. If you save this xml as a xml file and open it for example with MS Internet Explorer, the internal tool for viewing xml is called and displays the xml formatted and let you open/ close nodes etc. Otto

Yes, opening with IE works as you describe. But I would like to see it formatted, when I open it with simple editor e.g. Notepad. Of course it will not be active content as in IE but I would like to see it like nested elements on new lines and not just one string line. And second in the IE I would like to have an automatically generated XSL stylsheet to display it not as XML but as a HTML table.
