XML File Generation

Former Member — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 13:57:25 GMT

Hi Abap Experts:

I need to create a XML file from the structure ls_bil_invoice (type lbbil_invoice).

This structure is used in the stadard program RLB_INVOICE, the one used for invoice printing.

Anyway, with the data provided in this structure I need to create a XML file.

Does anyone know how to do it?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards.

Eduardo.

You should create an Internal Table referring to that structure and do the following...


DATA: XML_OUT TYPE STRING.

  CALL TRANSFORMATION ('ID')
  SOURCE TAB = T_INVOICE[]
  RESULT XML XML_OUT.

Haven't test it with deep structures...But it should work...

Greetings,

Try like this.

DATA: BEGIN OF struc1,

col1 TYPE c LENGTH 10 VALUE 'ABCDEFGHIJ',

col2 TYPE i VALUE 111,

BEGIN OF struc2,

col1 TYPE d VALUE '20040126',

col2 TYPE t VALUE '084000',

END OF struc2,

END OF struc1.

DATA: xml_string TYPE string,

result LIKE struc1.

TRY.

CALL TRANSFORMATION st_trafo

SOURCE para = struc1

RESULT XML xml_string.

...

CALL TRANSFORMATION st_trafo

SOURCE XML xml_string

RESULT para = result.

CATCH cx_st_error.

...

ENDTRY.

deep structures will work.
