Abap and XML

Former Member — Mon, 04 Oct 2004 15:04:35 GMT

Hi all,

actually we (and most of our customers) are using 4.6c.

I have do deal with some XML stuff in the future so any good point to start with Abap and XML (read / write) ?

Are there special functions for this ?

Is there a special feature for 4.7 (6.20 /6.40) to handle XML (read and write) ?

TIA

Henning

Function modules should be the good starting point. Go to transaction SE37 and search for XML.

Look up the help on CALL TRANSFORMATION.

Also read the documentation on the XSLT editor.

Hi,

If you do decide to go for it, Business Connector is a very good option to connect business partners using XML. You can download it from http://service.sap.com/connectors. The accompanying documentation is very good as well.

Pre 4.7 for handling XML from ABAP there are some classes available, explore SE24.

From 4.7 (WAS6.2) there is a special key word available for transforming to and from XML - CALL TRANSFORMATION.

I remeber to have seen some code samples in the this forum for handling XML in 4.6C.
