TRANSFER DATASET

[shilpi_singh]

Hi,

I need to create a XML file and in a single TRANSFER dataset statement I passing a string variable that has my XML data . This string variable has 8027 characters, but in the file only 7000 characters get printed.

Later below I am able to write the footer data in other TRANSFER dataset statement.

could you please advise as whether we have a restriction with regards to maximum data that we can transfer to dataset in one single TRANSFER dataset statement. As in my case I get the file but my body is incomplete.

FYI: I am opening the file in TEXT MODE.

Thank you,

According to the documentation for the TRANSFER statement:

"If the addition LENGTH is not specified, all characters or bytes are passed."

Hi Rob,

But in my case my string is 8027 characters long, and if I transfer this string in a go , I have only 7000 characters printed in my file.

While if I split the same string in parts and then transfer each part to file then I have everything in my file.

I tried with explicitly putting the length addition as TRANSFER <string_variable> TO DATASET LENGTH 8027 , but I have the same result.

Thank you,

Shilpi

Hi,

See this code fragment, this come from

see FORM write_1_to_xml .

  DATA: ob_ixml             TYPE REF TO if_ixml .

  ob_ixml = cl_ixml=>create( ).

  ob_ixml_document = ob_ixml->create_document( ).

  ob_ixml_encoding = ob_ixml->create_encoding(

        byte_order    = if_ixml_encoding=>co_little_endian

        character_set = 'utf-8' ) .

  ob_ixml_document->set_encoding( ob_ixml_encoding ) .
