XML to ABAP internal table conversion

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

Via debugging,I downloaded the context of an ABAP webdynpro application into an XML file on my desktop. Now I want to use this file as an input to a FM. This is what I have done for it

1) Used the GUI_UPLOAD fm to convert the xml file on my desktop into xstring

2) used transformation like this

CALL TRANSFORMATION id

SOURCE xml = ls_xml_xstring

RESULT para = lt_result.

lt_result is of the type that the FM input expects

step 2 does not work. I know I am missing something there. Pls tell me what it is. Its a huge file and I dont want to manually create the input.

BR,
