Converting asxml back to ABAP structure

Former Member — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 11:47:35 GMT

Hi all!

I've generated the asxml representation of an abap structure.

Now, I want to do the opossite. That is, load the asxml back to the original structure.

How can I achieve this? Isn't there a direct way to do it.

Thank you very much.

Sorry. No reward points yet

Please I nead some more info.

The code you gave me has sintax error.

CALL TRANSFORMATION 'ID'

XML_FTAB = XML_TAB

ITAB = IT

So I've tryed this (on a guess)

CALL TRANSFORMATION ID

SOURCE XML_FTAB = I_XML

RESULT ITAB = MY_STRUCTURE.

Still doesn't work.

Can you give me some hints about what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you very much Kumar

CALL TRANSFORMATION ID

SOURCE XML_FTAB = I_XML

RESULT ITAB = MY_STRUCTURE.

should be

CALL TRANSFORMATION ID

SOURCE XML = I_XML

RESULT ITAB = XML_FTAB.

LOOP AT XML_FTAB INTO MY_STRUCTURE.

ENDLOOP.

assuming that:

I_XML is a reference to if_ixml_document

XML_FTAB is an internal table

The source xml should look something like this:

<asx:abap>

<asx:values>

<ITAB>

<item>

????

</item>

<item>

????

</item>

</ITAB>

</asx:values>

</asx:abap>

Hi!

Your hint was very helpfull.

Just got one question hopping you can help me:

What kind of internal table should be XML_FTAB? an internal table of My_Structure?

Can you help me on some pointers to understant better how this is processed by SAP?

I googled it, but poor info found.

Thank you very much.

Yes, of course, XML_FTAB should be an internal table of My_Structure. And My_structure should contain the same fields as in the XML document.

Here is a link to a SAP XML jumpstart:
