XML output

[Former Member]

I am using the below code to produce an XML output, but the actaul XML file drops tags that are empty. My table definition contains all the required fields, but for some reason the empty fields are dropped.

Can anyone tell me how to keep the empty fields in the xml file or suggest another approach.

• build itab in format requried for XML output

SORT itab_output by sapno.

LOOP AT itab_output INTO wa_output.

lv_output = wa_output.

sapfeed-sapno = wa_output-sapno.

AT NEW sapno.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING lv_output TO lv_staff.

INSERT lv_staff INTO TABLE it_staff.

INSERT LINES OF it_staff INTO TABLE sapfeed-personal.

CLEAR it_staff[].

ENDAT.

• Dont collect work record when emp only is selected

IF r_empl <> 'X'.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING wa_output TO lv_work.

INSERT lv_work INTO TABLE it_work.

INSERT LINES OF it_work INTO TABLE sapfeed-workdetail.

CLEAR: it_work[].

ENDIF.

AT END OF sapno.

APPEND sapfeed.

CLEAR: sapfeed.

ENDAT.

ENDLOOP.

CLASS CL_IXML DEFINITION LOAD.

G_IXML = CL_IXML=>CREATE( ).

CHECK NOT G_IXML IS INITIAL.

M_DOCUMENT = G_IXML->CREATE_DOCUMENT( ).

CHECK NOT M_DOCUMENT IS INITIAL.

WRITE: / 'Converting DATA TO DOM 1:'.

CALL FUNCTION 'SDIXML_DATA_TO_DOM'

EXPORTING

NAME = 'SAPFEED'

DATAOBJECT = SAPFEED[]

IMPORTING

DATA_AS_DOM = L_DOM

CHANGING

DOCUMENT = M_DOCUMENT

EXCEPTIONS

ILLEGAL_NAME = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

WRITE: 'Err =', SY-SUBRC.

ENDIF.

CHECK NOT L_DOM IS INITIAL.

W_RC = M_DOCUMENT->APPEND_CHILD( NEW_CHILD = L_DOM ).

IF W_RC IS NOT INITIAL.

WRITE: 'Err =', W_RC.

ENDIF.

CALL FUNCTION 'SDIXML_DOM_TO_XML'

EXPORTING

DOCUMENT = M_DOCUMENT

IMPORTING

XML_AS_STRING = W_STRING

SIZE = W_SIZE

TABLES

XML_AS_TABLE = IT_XML

EXCEPTIONS

NO_DOCUMENT = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

WRITE: 'Err =', SY-SUBRC.

ENDIF.

LOOP AT IT_XML INTO XML_TAB-D.

APPEND XML_TAB.

ENDLOOP.

• Download file

IF r_srvr = 'X'.

• NEED TO ADD XML_TAB TO server download

PERFORM SERVER_DOWNLOAD.

ELSE.

PERFORM GUI_DOWNLOAD using gv_resize

XML_TAB.

ENDIF.
