I know you can do it with the transformations, but I don't know with iXML.

So you could at least "transform" the xml stream that is output by iXML:


CALL TRANSFORMATION id
      SOURCE XML l_string
      RESULT XML l_string
      OPTIONS xml_header = 'no'.

As it probably has a significant memory/performance cost, you may also use this simple replacement:


REPLACE REGEX '^<\?xml.*\?>' IN l_string WITH ``.

Hello Venkat,

How did you solve this issue? I am also generating XML file using ixml interface. and I want to remove the header part : <?xml version="1.0" >

Thanks and regards,

Hi Sandra,

Thanks! your solution works.

I did through following way

call transformation id

source xml L_XML_TABLE

result XML L_STRING

options

xml_header = 'no'.

call transformation id

source xml L_STRING

result XML L_XML_TABLE.

And it works.

It saved my lot of time of doing it again using simple transformations.

Hope I could have assign full marks to your solution

Regards,

Madhuri

With IXML, you may use "document->set_declaration( abap_false )" to not render the XML header:

ixml = cl_ixml=>create( ).
document = ixml->create_document( ).
element = document->create_simple_element( name   = 'ROOT'
                                           parent = document ).
stream_factory = ixml->create_stream_factory( ).
ostream = stream_factory->create_ostream_xstring( xstring ).
renderer = ixml->create_renderer( ostream  = ostream
                                  document = document ).
document->set_declaration( abap_false ).
rc = renderer->render( ).
cl_abap_unit_assert=>assert_equals( act = cl_abap_codepage=>convert_from( xstring )
                                    exp = '<ROOT/>' ).
