Query related to interface programming

Hi,

I need to download the data to XML file. I have hard coded the file path in the Report Program. This Report should be shceduled for every night.

But the problem is that since I have hard coded the path, whenever the program is deployed to production system there will be a problem regarding the file path.

Can any body throw some light on how to avoid hard coding of the filepath ?

Reward points are assured.

Since it is schedule job, i'm assuming you are using application server. In that case, you will have same directory structure like DIR_TRANS, DIR_DATA etc. Otherwise, you can use logical filename.

Hi sanjay,

Thanks for your reply.

Can we have XML down load to application server ?

I am not using Application Server for it. Can I use Application Server for XML down load also ?

I am using GUI_Download.

Can you throw some light on it ?

Yes, you can download XML to application server also. You need to use OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER etc for downloading.

For XML, are you using CALL TRANSFORMATION or other FM?

[Former Member]

Yes I am using CALL TRANSFORMATION ID.

Can you send me some example code for Down loading the data to XML output on Application Server ?

I dont have sample code but you can search this forum with XML and download and you will find the example.
