Variable currency element in Simple Transformation

[johnm16]

Hi Folks,

I'm working on a Simple Transformation in XSLT_TOOL to  convert data from ABAP to XML.  It works fine,  but there is one improvement I need to make. 

The data comes from an SD invoice,  and each value element needs to be accompanied by a currency element.  And the currency has to appear on the same line in the XML as the value.

So I need an XML output line that looks something like this:

<Amount currencyID="EUR">100.00</Amount>

Thus far,  the relevant line in my ST looks like this:

<Amount currencyID="EUR" tt:value-ref=".INVOICE.AMOUNT"/>

Clearly, the currency here is a literal;  but I need to insert it as a variable instead.  It's in my ABAP structure as INVOICE.CURRENCY.

So how do I include the currency variable, without it appearing on a separate line?

Don't think I haven't searched for this;  everything I've found so far either outputs 2 lines instead of 1,  or doesn't compile (thank you AI).  I'm sure the answer is trivial...

Thanks for reading,

John

In your question "currencyID" is named officially an "XML Attribute".

In Simple Transformation, use tt:attribute:

<Amount tt:value-ref=".INVOICE.AMOUNT">
  <tt:attribute name="currencyID" value-ref=".INVOICE.CURRENCY"/>
</Amount>

Thank you Sandra;  I knew it would be simple...
