reading XML files from application server

Former Member — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 14:32:55 GMT

Hi,

I am reading a file curreunlt from the presentation server as below

CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_UPLOAD

EXPORTING

FILENAME = L_FILENAME

FILETYPE = 'BIN'

The filetype is the above is BIN.

Can a xml file be read from the application using the open dataset?

If it can be read using open dataset, can it be converted into a binary stream as done by the earlier call??

Regards,

Vignesh

Hello Vignesh.

First of all, i must say that you can open a XML from application server using open dataset, depending of your system version. What's yours?

I don't know from which version you started to can do it, but in ECC 600 you can use this:

OPEN DATASET dset FOR (input/output)

IN BINARY MODE ENCODING (UTF-8/DEFAULT).

depending of the goal and the encoding you use.

Best regards,
