Why is my transfer statement no working for a string?

[Former Member]

I have a a string field that I create via call transformation.

I now want to download that string to my PC.

I can not use the GUI_DOWNLOAD because it demands a table to download - I have a string field so i can not use a table to download.

So i am tring to use the tranfer statement.

It returns sy-subrc = 0 but nothing is downloaded.

Here is the sample code.

data: lv_result_xml. type string.

• Call to XSLT Transformation

TRY.

CALL TRANSFORMATION zrcs_xfer_wrty_xslt

SOURCE batchtime = filetime

saletab = saletab

RESULT XML lv_result_xml.

CATCH cx_xslt_exception INTO xslt_error.

xslt_message = xslt_error->get_text( ).

RAISE xslt_error.

ENDTRY.

******************************************************

• types: begin of ty_xml_line,

• data(256) type x,

*end of ty_xml_line.

*

*data: wa_xmlrec type ty_xml_line.

*

:.

OPEN DATASET zfile FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.

TRANSFER lv_result_xml TO zfile. "LENGTH w_size.

*loop at xml_tab into wa_xmlrec.

*v_strlen = strlen( wa_xmlrec ).

*transfer wa_xmlrec to v_serfile length v_strlen1.

*endloop.

CLOSE DATASET zfile.

Looking at your other posts I don't know whether this is still an open issue. One thing you should note however: OPEN DATASET - TRANSFER - CLOSE DATASET creates files on the application server, not on your workstation.

Yep - we got it working and just let it go to the application server instead of my PC.

Found that out just before checked replies but thanks.
