cl_xml_ducument with empty nodes

Former Member — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 12:01:51 GMT

I use cl_xml_document with

call method o_xml->create_with_data( dataobject = data_tab ).

to generate an xml document.

data tab is being created on basis of a deep structure. Whenever a deep structure is empty the resulting node is being neglected and won't show op in the xml document.

I do want the node to show up, any idea?

Up!

Hi,

Put a condition that whenever you encounter a empty deep structure. Fill the node with empty SPACE(s).

try this & let me know if this works for you.

Rahul

I've found the solution: instead of create_with_data using set_sata with parameter "control".

*    CALL METHOD o_xml->create_with_data( dataobject = <dat> ).
    DATA lf_retcode type sy-subrc.
    DATA ls_Control TYPE DCXMLSERCL. "OPTIONAL
    " don't leave empty parts away:
    ls_Control-INIT_TREAT = 'N'.

    CALL METHOD o_xml->set_data
      EXPORTING
*        name        = 'DATA'
*        alias       =
        dataobject  = gt_Rentob
*        parent_node =
         control     = ls_Control
      receiving
        retcode     = lf_retcode
        .

*    CALL METHOD o_xml->create_with_data
*      EXPORTING
**        name       = 'DATA'
*        dataobject = gt_Rentob
*      receiving
*        retcode    = lf_retcode.

" for testing only:
    CALL METHOD o_xml->display
*      EXPORTING
*        with_bdn = SPACE
        .
