ABAP-XML conversion via call transformation

[Former Member]

Hi folks!

I'm using a deep structure for returning the reply from a function module. To save my test data I wanted to generate an XML from this ABAP structure.

I had in mind that I could use CALL TRANSFORMATION to get the asXML representation of the ABAP structure but I could not figure out how this works.

Can somebody give me a hint how I could convert my deep ABAP structure into XML without much coding?

Thanks!

Hi stonefish,

1. internal table -

---

> Xml

xml -

---

> internal table

2. this program will show both.

3. It will do this for

T001 table.

4. Just copy paste in new program.

REPORT abc.

DATA

DATA : t001 LIKE TABLE OF t001 WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA : BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,

a(100) TYPE c,

END OF itab.

DATA: xml_out TYPE string .

DATA : BEGIN OF upl OCCURS 0,

f(255) TYPE c,

END OF upl.

DATA: xmlupl TYPE string .

you can use the following stt for this case

 CALL TRANSFORMATION (`ID`)                                      
           SOURCE output = <itab iwth deepdatstructure>         
           RESULT XML xml_out.
