Hello Experts,

I have a program to maintain. There is a transparent table which stores a XML excel file. I have used where used list option to find out if there is an existing program which used that table but couldnt find one.

In debugger mode, when I view the contents of the field, i can see list of characters, when i choose the option of viewing in xml browser, it opens me the excel file.

My requirement is to make a simple change to the excel file and store it back to the table in the same format it is.

Can someone explain to me, how to convert that xml excel file into string so that it is stored in a field of type string.

Thanks Nitish.

You can use the parser method provided in CL_XML_DOCUMENT class. Search for this particular class in the forums, you'll find many relevant post.

BR,
