XML File

Former Member — Thu, 10 Feb 2005 12:34:51 GMT

Hi,

Need to find out some stuff. I want to import some data using an XML file. I have written a FM to read the file from Windows. The question is, can I use FM 'KD_GET_FILENAME_ON_F4' to get the file name from UNIX? And do I need to write a another routine to read file cause I read that I need to use OPEN DataSet and READ DataSet to read and dump the contents into a internal table for UNIX? Thanks.

Regards,

Conrad

You can import the file directly and read the XML file using the following codes. Hope this helps.

DATA: xmlfile TYPE REF TO cl_xml_document_base.

DATA: retcode LIKE sy-subrc.

DATA: filename TYPE localfile.

*Import an XML file and return the Code.

retcode = xmlfile->import_from_file( filename ).

Thanks for your response,as i'm trying to write/ build a xml file/dom from internal tables and write in in file system ,i thought of using iXML library given by SAP.

Is that possible to create dom,build XML file and render it to file system using class cl_xml_document_base.Is there any other related class to this to create a complete XML application

Thanks,

Bharath.

Yes it is. Read the description of each method in the cl_xml_document_base class. It will give u a clue on what each method does.
