Getting the source for an cl_xml_document

[Former Member]

Cheers guys,

I need to access to plain XML source of the XML in an cl_xml_document. I understand that the function get_as_table should be doing that for me - however, I'm unsure what sort of table I should hand over to this function.

Using a table of string, I get hundreds of lines that contain truncated parts of the XML source, using a table of c the XML is not truncated, but I got lot's of bogus chars between the tags and at the beginning and end of the XML code.

So, any advice on what I'm doing wrong here would be nice.

use

l_xml is type ref to cl_xml_document

stream type sting

size type i.

l_xml->render_2_string(

exporting

pretty_print = 'X'

importing

• RETCODE = RETCODE

stream = stream

size = size

).

Unfortunalty, I can't find the specified method, maybe my version is too low (the code must stay compatible with 4.6C) - I'm working with an xml_stream_factory for now, works but it's a little tedious... thx anyway.

my code is from was6.40

Guessed so, thx anyway, should have specified the version in my initial post.
