How to parse XML for internal table

hi guys, I would like to know how to parse xml for an internal table. I explain myself.
Let's say you have a purchase order form where you have header data & items data. In my interactive form, the user can change the purchase order quantity at the item level. When I received back the pdf completed by mail, I need to parse the xml and get the po qty that has been entered.
This is how I do to get header data from my form
lr_ixml_node = lr_ixml_document->find_from_name( name = ''EBELN ).
lv_ebeln = lr_ixml_node->get_value( ).
How do we do to get the table body??
Should I used the same method (find_from_name) and passing the depth parameter inside a do/enddo?
thanks
Alexandre Giguere

Alexandre,
Here is an example. Suppose your internal table is called 'ITEMS'.
lr_node = lr_document->find_from_name('ITEMS').
lv_num_of_children = lr_node->num_children( ).
lr_nodechild = lr_node->get_first_child( ).
do lv_num_of_children times.
    lv_num_of_attributes = lr_nodechild->num_children( ).
    lr_childchild = lr_nodechild->get_first_child( ).
   do lv_num_of_attributes times.
      lv_value = lr_childchild->get_value( ).
      case sy-index.
         when 1.
           wa_item-field1 = lv_value
         when 2.
           wa_item-field2 = lv_value.
      endcase.
      lr_childchild = lr_childchild->get_next( ).
   enddo.
   append wa_item to lt_item.
   lr_nodechild = lr_nodechild->get_next( ).
enddo.

How to create an dynamic internal table with the structure of a ddic table

Hi all,
I want to fill ddic-tables (which I already created) in my abap dictionary with data out of CSV-files (which are located on the CRM-Server). The ddic tables have different amount of fields.
I started with creating a table which contains the name of the tables and the path to the matching CSV-file.
At the beginning I'm filling an internal table with part of this data (the name of the ddic-tables) - after that I am looping at this internal table.
LOOP AT lt_struc ASSIGNING <lfs_struc>.
     LOOP AT lv_itab1 INTO lv_wa1 WHERE ztab_name = <lfs_struc>.
     lv_feld = lv_wa1-zdat_name.
    ENDLOOP.
    CONCATENATE 'C:\-tmp\Exportierte Tabellen\' lv_feld INTO lv_pfad.
    Do.
    OPEN DATASET lv_pfad FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS.
    READ DATASET lv_pfad INTO lv_rec.
    IF sy-subrc NE 0.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
    enddo.
    REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '"' IN lv_rec WITH ''.
    SPLIT lv_rec AT ';' INTO TABLE lt_str_values.
    INSERT into (<lfs_struc>) values lr_str_value.
    CLOSE DATASET lv_pfad.
endloop.
This is not the whole code, but it's working until
SPLIT lv_rec AT ';' INTO TABLE lt_str_values.
I want to split all the data of lv_rec into an internal table which has the structure of the current ddic-table, but I didn't find out how to do give the internal table the structure of the ddic-table. In the code I used an internal tyble type string but I should be the structure of the matching tabel.
If I try to create an internal table by using a fiel symbol, I am told, that the data types are not matching.
Has anyone an idea?

Hi Mayari,
though you were successfull with
METHOD cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table
I must warn you not to use it. The reason is that the number of tables created is limited, the method uses GENERATE SUBROUTINE statement and this triggers an unwanted database commit.
If you know the DDIC structure, it is (starting with ECC6.0) much easier:
field-symbols:
<table> type standard table.
data:
lr_data type ref to data.
Create data lr_data type table of (<DDIC structure>).
assign lr_data->* to <table>.
The split code can be simplified gaining speed loosing complexity not loosing functionality.
field-symbols:<fs_s> type any.
field-symbols:<fs_t> type any.
SPLIT lv_rec AT ';' INTO table it_string.
loop at it_string assigning <fs_s>.
assign component sy-tabix of wa_string to <fs_t>.
if sy-subrc = 0.
<fs_t> = <fs_s>.
endif.
at last.
append <fs_itwa3> to <ft_itab3>.
endat.
endloop.
Though it may work as Keshav.T suggested, there is no need to do that way.

*How can we use the internal table in module pool programming? Clarify plz*

If we creating a screen using the table having four fields(for e.g.). The screen has the functions of display, modify, delete, save, exit etc for the fields. The front-end of the screen having I/O fields of the table using internal table. How can we declare the internal table in the screen?

HI,
Create one WA for your Internal table and then map it to your fields.
For Example,
Data : begin of wa,
          name(10),
          age type i,
           end of wa.
data : it like table of wa with header line.
Then in screen create input fields with the name, age and ***.
Then the user entered values are stored in name age and ***.
then you can manipulate with that values using wa.
Thanks.

Thanks a lot Sir DrClap..
I tried to use and implement the org.w3c.dom.ls.LSResourceResolver Interface which is based on the SAX2 EntityResolver.
please give comments the way I implement it. Here's the code:
LSResourceResolver Implementation
import org.w3c.dom.ls.LSInput;
import org.w3c.dom.ls.LSResourceResolver;
import abc.xml.XsdConstant.Path.DTD;
import abc.xml.XsdConstant.Path.XSD;
public class LSResourceResolverImpl implements LSResourceResolver {
     public LSResourceResolverImpl() {
      * {@inheritDoc}
     @Override
     public LSInput resolveResource(String type, String namespaceURI, String publicId, String systemId, String baseURI) {
          ClassLoader classLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
          LSInput input = new LSInputImpl(publicId, systemId, baseURI);
          if ("http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd".equals(systemId)) {
               input.setByteStream(classLoader.getResourceAsStream(XSD.XML));
          } else if (XsdConstant.PUBLIC_ID_XMLSCHEMA.equals(publicId)) {
               input.setByteStream(classLoader.getResourceAsStream(DTD.XML_SCHEMA));
          } else if (XsdConstant.PUBLIC_ID_DATATYPES.equals(publicId)) {
               input.setByteStream(classLoader.getResourceAsStream(DTD.DATATYPES));
          return input;
}I also implement org.w3c.dom.ls.LSInput
import java.io.InputStream;

public class LSInputImpl implements LSInput {
     private String publicId;

     private InputStream byteStream;
     private String stringData;
     public LSInputImpl(String publicId, String systemId, String baseURI) {
          super();
          this.publicId = publicId;
          this.systemId = systemId;
          this.baseURI = baseURI;
     //getters & setters

How to parse xml string

Hi! I'm having problems parsing an xml string. I've done DOM and SAX parsing before. But both of them either parse a file or data from an input source. I don't think they handle strings. I also don't want to write the string into a file just so I can use DOM or SAX.
I'm looking for something where I could simply do:
Document doc = documentBuilder.parse( myXMLString );
So the heirarchy is automatically established for me. Then I could just do
Element elem = doc.getElement();
String name = elem.getTagName();
These aren't the only methods I would want to use. Again, my main problem is how to parse xml if it is stored in a string, not a file, nor comming from a stream.
thanks!

But both of them either parse a file or data from an input source. I don't think they handle strings.An InputSource can be constructed with a Reader as input. One useful subclass of Reader is StringReader, so you'd use something likeDocument doc = documentBuilder.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(myXMLString)));

System Variable For Internal table count

Can anybody tell me what the system variable for internal table count?
I just wants to know how many recoreds are there in my internal table ?
Regards,
pandu.

Hi ,
DESCRIBE TABLE <itab> [LINES <l>] [OCCURS <n>] [KIND <k>].
If you use the LINES parameter, the number of filled lines is written to the variable <lin>. If parameter, the you use the OCCURS value of the INITIAL SIZE of the table is returned to the variable <n>. If you use the KIND parameter, the table type is returned to the variable <k>: T for standard table, S for sorted table, and H for hashed table.
using variable
SY-TFILL
After the statements DESCRIBE TABLE, LOOP AT, and READ TABLE, SY-TFILL contains the number of lines in the relevant internal table.

Aggregate functions for internal table.

Hi Gurus,
I'm just wondering whether we can use aggregate functions for internal table. I wanted to know the max value for a particular column in my internal table. How can I achieve this easily and quickly.
Thanks,
David.

sort the table on which you want the maximum value and read it. Please find below example code.
TYPES : BEGIN OF ty_mvke,
        matnr TYPE mvke-matnr,
        vkorg TYPE mvke-vkorg,
        vtweg TYPE mvke-vtweg,
       AUMNG type mvke-AUMNG,
        END OF ty_mvke.
DATA : wa_mvke TYPE ty_mvke,
       it_mvke TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_mvke.
data : temp_AUMNG type AUMNG.
START-OF-SELECTION.
SELECT matnr vkorg vtweg AUMNG FROM mvke INTO
        table it_mvke.
sort it_mvke by AUMNG.
read TABLE it_mvke into wa_mvke INDEX 1.
if sy-subrc = 0.
move wa_mvke-AUMNG to temp_AUMNG.
write : temp_AUMNG.
endif.
Thanks,

Hi ,
To convert XML data into internal table u have to use FM "SMUM_XML_PARSE", this FM takes XString as input ,so first u have to

Check the flag "use SAP XML toolkit" for the operation mapping and try, if that works then.
Check the flag for all XSLT and Java mappings which is migrated from PI 7.0

How to create dynamic nested internal table

Hi Experts,
Pleae tell me or give sample code, how to create dynamic nested internal table ?
I have seen threads saying creation of dynamic internal tables using some table structure only. But now the requirement is to create dynamic nested internal table.
For example the internal table contains two fields viz., one is field1 of dynamic internal table and other is normal field2 and values as shown below:
Nested internal table:
field1                     |     field2 ...
<table content1>     |     value2..
<table content1>     |     value2..
Here the [table content] should also a dynamic internal table.
Let me know if you need any other info.

How to parse xml and import to execel

pls let me know how to parse XML file and import all data to execel sheet.

Hi Mandya,
This is outside of the normal use case for TestStand. It would be best to use a code module (developed in LabVIEW, C, or any other language) to accomlish this and then call it from a step in TestStand. You can find examples on ActiveX here:

I hope this helps.
