Trailing Spaces on XML Nodes using IF_IXML

[Former Member]

I have created XML using IF_IXML. According to the schema, several of the elements have trailing spaces in the value for the element. I set the value with a string. For example,

move 'XXXXX ' to lv_string.

lv_rc element->set_value ( lv_string ).

In the rendering of the document to a string, the trailing spaces are omitted and the XML will not validate. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Found the answer. Use ` instead of ' to set value of string.

data: lv_string1 type string value `ABC `,

lv_string2 type string value 'ABC '.

The length of lv_string1 is 5 and the length of lv_string2 is 3.
