cl_xml_document

Former Member — Mon, 14 Aug 2006 09:50:07 GMT

Hi.

I have a program that reads and xml file. It uses cl_xml_document->import_from_file to read the file from a given path. This works fine, but my problem is that I need to run the program as a batch jobb and the import_from_file method uses gui_upload which can not be run as a batch (no_batch).

I need to find another way to read the file. Can anyone please help me?

Hi jon,

1. we have to use

OPEN DATASET, READ DATASET, CLOSE DATASET

2. concept / commands

3. for reading file from application server.

ok, but if I have to use the open/read/close dataset solution I also have to rewrite my code to find det data in the xml-nodes.

The way I do it now is as follows:

----

CREATE XML DOCUMENT

----

create object lo_xml.

GET XML FROM FILE

call method lo_xml->import_from_file

exporting

filename = p_outfil

receiving

retcode = lv_retcode.

GET ROOT OF XML DOCUMENT --> ORDERS

w_root1 = lo_xml->get_first_node( ).

w_node_name = lo_xml->get_node_name( node = w_root1 ).

w_root2 = lo_xml->find_node( name = 'orders'

root = w_root1 ).

w_node_name = lo_xml->get_node_name( node = w_root2 ).

NAVIGATE DOWN TO DESIRED NODE AND LOOP AT THESE

w_index1 = 1.

clear w_continue1.

while w_continue1 = ''.

clear w_node_level_1.

w_node_level_1 = lo_xml->get_node_child( node = w_root2

index = w_index1 ).

***************

Any tips on how this can be done with the open dataset solution?
