Hi,

Check "simple transformations" .

http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABENABAP_ST.htm.

or

SE80->Workbench _>edit object->more->transofrmation radio button enter 'Name' and click view.

CALL TRANSFORMATION ('Name')

SOURCE tab = ITAB[]

RESULT XML xml_out.

Here XML_OUT stores the converted data in XML format.

After that depends on your requirement. You can store in custom table or in the application server (unix directory) or download to front end.

Thanks!

Boby,

I checked the link and it has used CL_ABAP_BROWSER to display xml but i dont find that class.Please clarify

Thanks

That's only to display the resulting XML from the example. You can render the XML using ST or XSLT in the transformation as he said or you can use one of the other XML functions or classes available. Read the rest of the help files regarding transformations.

I followed this link

http://sapblog.rmtiwari.com/2009/04/generate-simple-transformation-for-xml.html

and created xsd and report and it created xml file but when i tried to open it ,it shows the following error in browser

As mentioned in the link i executed tcode SSTDEMO1 to download a sample xml file ,but when i tried to open it i am getting the same error

The XML page cannot be displayed

Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

This means that the xml is malformed.

Try adding -

OPTIONS addition to the CALL TRANSFORMATION statement to avoid header .

Syntax :

CALL TRANSFORMATION (`ID`) OPTIONS XML_HEADER = 'no'

SOURCE itab = itab[]

RESULT XML output.

BALA,

I checked it ,

call function 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

exporting filename = s

filetype = 'ASC'

write_lf = ' '

tables data_tab = xmltab_res

While downloading a special character is there in the xmltab_res internal table record-

0<flights/>

Please remove it while debugging and execute .

You will not encounter the error,

Thanks!

Set up the correct encoding while downloading with 'GUI_DOWNLOAD".

You will have code page option in the import parameters

DATA: encode TYPE ABAP_ENCODING.

encode = '4103'. "'4103' - UTF-16 LE(Little Endian)

PAss

code page = encode

Boby,

Still it is not working.

when i open the xml using notepad it has some two special characters ,if i remove them it is working fine from browser and these characters are created only when i use the code page parameter
