Hi,

Try with the below XSLT...


<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:sap="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl" version="1.0">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0">
<asx:values>
<RESULT_SET>
<xsl:apply-templates select="//DATA_CELLS"/>
</RESULT_SET>
</asx:values>
</asx:abap>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="DATA_CELLS">
<DISP1>
<xsl:for-each select="DATA_CELL">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@column = 0">
<COL_0>
<xsl:value-of select="FORMATTED_VALUE"/>
</COL_0>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="@column = 1">
<COL_1>
<xsl:value-of select="FORMATTED_VALUE"/>
</COL_1>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="@column = 2">
<COL_2>
<xsl:value-of select="FORMATTED_VALUE"/>
</COL_2>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="@column = 3">
<COL_3>
<xsl:value-of select="FORMATTED_VALUE"/>
</COL_3>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
</DISP1>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>

Also the definition of the corresponding type in ABAP needs to be like below,


TYPES: BEGIN OF t_data,
         col_0 TYPE char20,
         col_1 TYPE char20,
         col_2 TYPE char20,
         col_3 TYPE char20,
       END OF t_data.

Regards,

Chen

Have a look at the use of the if_ixml* classes along with the cl_xml_document.

Once you get the XML data represented in the class if_ixml_document, you can easily navigate/iterate through the elements using the document object model (if_ixml_node_collection, if_ixml_node_iterator).
