Hi Folks,

             Is there any way we can download an Idoc into XML apart from creating a XML port.

Hello Raghavender,

Try to use the below steps

1) Use FM "IDOC_READ_COMPLETELY" to read the Idoc data.

2) Use FM "SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT" to convert the internal table obtained in step1 into XML file.

Hi All,

          Thanks for your reply. I should have added to my question that I dont want a programmatic solution. Is there any standalone function module that can be used to get an XML.

         I know of IDOC_XML_TRANSFORM FM which can do this. I can see the XML tags created in output but no option to download it in XML.

The easiest way that I've found is to follow the tutorial underneath:

http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=153388639

It doesn't involve any programming, you just have to follow the steps and copy the code they have written for you. This will create a program where you enter your iDoc number and exports an XML-file.

Hope this was helpfull.

Hello,

You can use the FM  "Out_Idoc_xml_Transform"-Just mention the Idoc number as 'docnum' and give the address and file name in 'out_file'. System will convert Idoc into XML format and it get stored.

Thanks a lot for this, it's by far the best answer!

Thank you. Worked like a charm, even on production where there were no rights for executing function modules.

You saved me! Thank you. Strange that this report is not more well known - and that it's such a hidden way to reach something so simple.
