Hello Siddartha

If you report is a customer report where you have the final output in an internal table then use XML transformation, e.g.:

DATA: gd_xml   TYPE string,
           gt_xml   TYPE TABLE OF string.

CALL TRANSFORMATION ID ident
  SOURCE itab = gt_itab
  RESULT XML = gd_xml.

  APPEND gd_xml TO gt_xml.

Hello Siddartha

You just need to define the structure of your (complex) itab as required for the XML transformation, e.g.:

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_s_list.
TYPES: header     TYPE <structure of header>.
TYPES: data         TYPE <table type of payroll data>.
TYPES: END OF ty_s_list.
TYPES: ty_t_list       TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_s_list
                               WITH DEFAULT KEY.

DATA: gt_list     TYPE ty_t_list.

...
CALL TRANSFORMATION ID ident
  SOURCE itab = gt_list
  RESULT XML = gd_xml.
 
  APPEND gd_xml TO gt_xml.
