Howto transform a Sales Order (idoc) into xml file and download it?

[Former Member]

I need to tranform a Sales order into an xml file such that I could download the file onto my disk. I try to transform an IDOC.

I do the following from an example and I get an xml document on screen but I do get get any file downloaded:

*************************************************

DATA: document TYPE REF TO if_ixml_document.

document = g_ixml->create_document( ).

DATA: ostream TYPE REF TO if_ixml_ostream.

ostream = g_stream_factory->create_ostream_uri(

system_id = 'file://C:\test.xml' ).

DATA: renderer TYPE REF TO if_ixml_renderer, rc TYPE i.

renderer = g_ixml->create_renderer( ostream = ostream

document = document ).

rc = renderer->render( ).

document->render( ostream = ostream recursive = ' ').

********************************

Is there something else I should do? Is there another approach for transforming a sales order to an xml file.

The R/3 4.6 system is used.

Thank you

Hi Eglese,

Another option could be to use XML port configured for the IDOC and use the XML files generated be extracted from Web Dynpro using a file download UI element.

The system does not have WAS6.40 nor WebDynpro.So I have to use something "classical" for R/3 4.6. What could that be?
