program is working fine in one version but not in other how to handle this

[Former Member]

hi all,

i have a program which works fine in ECC5. in that program i have used some XML related classes and interfaces. but when i try to execute this in 4.6c version its showing lot of all errors saying that so and so class or so and so interface is not supported in 4.6c version like that.

how to overcome these errors, means how to make the classes and interfaces which work fine in ECC5 to work well in 4.6c version.

The XML framework(Transformations) simply is not there in 46c. You would have to totally go a different way to do XML in 46c.

This thread might be helpful.

So here is a sample program showing how to convert an internal table into XML and downloading it to xml file.

report zrich_0001.

type-pools: truxs.

data: it001 type table of t001 with header line.
data: ixml type truxs_xml_table.
data: xxml like line of ixml.
data: size type i.


select * into table it001 from t001.


call function 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT'
     importing
          pe_bin_filesize      = size
     tables
          i_tab_sap_data       = it001
     changing
          i_tab_converted_data = ixml
     exceptions
          conversion_failed    = 1
          others               = 2.


data: file_str type string.

file_str = 'C:test.xml'.

call function 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
     exporting
          bin_filesize = size
          filename     = file_str
          filetype     = 'BIN'
     tables
          data_tab     = ixml
     exceptions
          others       = 22.

Hello Mr. Rich,

the coding which u provided was very helpful it almost solved my problem,but at

the the last iam stuck up with a small problem. i wrote the coding like this for my

program

tables:mara.

type-pools: truxs.

parameters: p_matnr like mara-matnr.

data: ixml type truxs_xml_table.

data: xxml like line of ixml.

data: size type i.

data: file_str type string.

file_str = 'C:\simp.xml'.

data: begin of itab_mara occurs 0,

matnr like mara-matnr,

ernam like mara-ernam,

aenam like mara-aenam,

vpsta like mara-vpsta,

end of itab_mara.

select matnr ernam aenam vpsta from mara into table itab_mara up to 5

rows where matnr = p_matnr.

CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT'

but when i try to open the XML file into which the data has to be downloaded it shows the following error.

The XML page cannot be displayed

Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

help me to resolve this problem.

thanks,

Boy, that is a little picky. I have made changes to the way you are defining the internal table. It is really picky.

report zrich_0001 .

type-pools: truxs.

data: ixml type truxs_xml_table.
data: xxml like line of ixml.
data: size type i.
data: file_str type string.

types: begin of type_mara,
       matnr type mara-matnr,
       ernam type mara-ernam,
       aenam type mara-aenam,
       vpsta type mara-vpsta,
       end of type_mara.

data: itab_mara type table of type_mara.


parameters: p_matnr like mara-matnr.


start-of-selection.

  file_str = 'C:simp.xml'.

  select matnr ernam aenam vpsta
             from mara
                    into table itab_mara
                           up to 5 rows
                                 where matnr = p_matnr.

  call function 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT'
       importing
            pe_bin_filesize      = size
       tables
            i_tab_sap_data       = itab_mara
       changing
            i_tab_converted_data = ixml
       exceptions
            conversion_failed    = 1
            others               = 2.

  call function 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
       exporting
            bin_filesize = size
            filename     = file_str
            filetype     = 'BIN'
       tables
            data_tab     = ixml
       exceptions
            others       = 22.

Works good now.
