Encoding XML in ISO-8859-1 from a unicode system

[Former Member]

Hello

I want to generate an XML with an encoding ISO-8859-1. I'm on a unicode platform.

I've done the following program :

It works well with the line 'encoding UTF-16.

With the line encoding 'encoding ISO ...', I have special characters in the sting xml_string.

NB : The program works correctly on a non-unicode platform.

Can you help me ?

Thank you

Hello.

If the problem is with special characters, you may try to convert them to html entities.

 
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '&' IN xml_string  WITH '&'.

By debug could you display xml_string in both text and hexadecimal, and paste it here please. Thx

[Former Member]

I find the solution.

I have to generat the XML in hexadecimal, and then to convert with the good encoding.

Thank you for you answer

Hello Jean-Christophe Segond

I have the same problem. Could you send me how the code for converting to hexadecimal looks like?

Thanks and best regards

I didn't understand what was exactly his issue, and what he exactly meant by "then to convert with the good encoding".

His first sentence means that he used the following program (using Xstring instead of string):

REPORT .

DATA : xml_xstring TYPE xstring.


DATA : BEGIN OF l_id,
numero(10),
systeme TYPE gsval,
date TYPE d,
heure TYPE uzeit,
type(7),
nb_nid TYPE i,
END OF l_id.

DATA: ixml TYPE REF TO if_ixml,
streamfactory TYPE REF TO if_ixml_stream_factory,
encoding TYPE REF TO if_ixml_encoding,
ixml_ostream TYPE REF TO if_ixml_ostream.

START-OF-SELECTION.

l_id-date = sy-datum.
l_id-heure = sy-uzeit.
l_id-type = 'BATCH'.

ixml = cl_ixml=>create( ).
streamfactory = ixml->create_stream_factory( ).
ixml_ostream = streamfactory->create_ostream_xstring( xml_xstring ).

encoding = ixml->create_encoding( character_set = 'ISO-8859-1' byte_order = 0 ).

ixml_ostream->set_encoding( encoding = encoding ).


CALL TRANSFORMATION id
SOURCE id = l_id
RESULT XML ixml_ostream.

* in debug here, you'll see that xml_xstring contains 
* XML result in ISO-8859-1 encoding
BREAK-POINT.
