The problem is that for DRGNUM nodes in XML I can only manage to get last DRGNUM node data in the internal table.
How can I get all the 3 items for DRGNUM in the Internal table ?
Your help is appreciated.

u need to create three files with 3 different data in DRGNUM.
i.e, in the 1st file give the 1st set of data for drgnum and
in the 2nd file, u will hve 2nd set of data for DRGNUM and the rest will data will be same without any change. simliarly do the 3rd file.
and try to get into the internal table now.

I suggest you look into "simple transformations". That's SAP's most recent technology for such purposes, as far as I know.

Read dimension member(master data) to ABAP internal table in BPC 10.0 NW

Hi all,
I manage to read transaction data using this example [replacement for IF_UJ_MODEL~GET_APPL_DATA;
I am now trying to read members(master data) from a dimension to a ABAP internal table but I have no idea how to.
Can anyone advise me on how to read members(master data) from a dimension to a ABAP internal table.
Some sample code would be really appreciated.

Hi Chanaveer,
UJD_ADMIN_RUN_OPTIMIZE can be used only for executing the FULL & LITE OPTIMIZER packages.
Looking at the code of UJD_RUN_OPTIMIZE_PACKAGE it seems this FM can be used to trigger process chain from BW.
Please refer below link on SDN showing how to load Master Data on FLY in SAP BPC 10.

Reading long text from excel file to an internal table

Hi
Can any body tell me how to read long text from excel file to an internal table.
When i am using this FM KCD_EXCEL_OLE_TO_INT_CONVERT then it is reading only 32 characters from each cell.
But in my excel sheet in one of the cell has very long text which i need to upload into a internal table.
may i know which FM or what logic i need to use for this problem.
Regards

Hi,
Here is an example program. It will upload an Excel file with two columns. You could also assign the Excel structure dynamically, but I wanted to keep the example simple. The main point is that the internal table (it_excel in this example) must match the Excel structure that you want to convert.
Remember, this is just an example to help you figure out how to properly use the technique. It will certainly need to be modified to fit your requirements, and as always there may be a better way to get the Excel converted... this is just one possibility that has worked for me in the past.

XML and XSD file to an internal table

I had read a lot of thread but i don't understand how to deal with xml/xsd in R3.
I need someone that have a definite example for this escenary please.
With OPEN DATASET took from the server XML and XSD file, and put it in two internal tables type string.
What functions or method have to use, and how to use them, to charge the XML file in an internal table?
This is an example of XML and XDS:
XML
AND CONTINUE
Best Regards,

I just tried to interpret your question, it was not obvious what you wanted.
I guess what you mean is that you have defined (statically) a deep structure, and you want to decode the XML into it. That is called a transformation (transaction STRANS, statement CALL TRANSFORMATION). You have the choice between 2 transformation languages: XSLT and ST. Of course, it depends what release you are running.
I advise you to play first with the ID transformation, to convert an ABAP deep structured data object into XML, so that you see what XML is generated, this one is called asXML. If you create your own transformation, when you call it, it will first convert automatically the data object to asXML, and the transformation has to do the rest of the job.
You can do the opposite, i.e. converting from XML to a data object, according to the same principle (intermediate asXML).
Well, there are lots of things to say, I recommend you to read articles and documentation on XSLT and ST (search on SDN).
About XSD, it won't help (and I did never see any possibility to use it) to decode the XML, as you must anyway define the target data object statically (and there's no tool to generate the ABAP code of the data object definition from the XSD).
Note that you may also use iXML libraries to parse the XML.
Please tell us more.

To convert XML to ABAP internal table can we do it with DOM or we need XSLT

I have a requirement where I need to collect the data from XML file into an internal table.
I need to collect this data into an internal table as I should make use of this data and do Goods Receipt in SAP.
My XML file is very very complex and the child nodes in my XML file may occur ones or 10 times and change dynamically.
I want to know if XML to ABAP internal table is possible with DOM or does it need XSLT too.
I used the blog of Robert which uses DOM, but it I am unable to collect the data in internal table. The blog explains only how to wtite the out put to screen as element and value.
I want to know if XML to ABAP internal table is possible with DOM or do I need XSLT too? I am confused please help.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hello Jessica
Why not using the DOM itself for processing?
Below you see the post-processing coding which I use to add the interchange control number (ICN) into an EDI message (which at this stage is still an XML-EDI stream). This is done on SAP-XI yet on the ABAP stack so you could use this approach on your R/3 system as well.

Collect data from a dynamic XML file into multiple internal tables

I need to convert the XML file into multiple internal tables. I tried many links and posts in SDN but still was facing difficulty in achieving this. Can some one tell me where I am going wrong.
My XML file is of the following type.It is very complex and the dynamice.
The following tags occur more than once in the XML file. The "I" and "L" tags and its child tags can occur ones or more than once for each XML file and it is not constant. i.e in one file they can occur 1 time and in another they can occur 100 times.
"I" and "L" are child tags of <C>
<I>
       <J>10</J>
         <K>EN</K>
</I>
<L>
         <J>20</J>
          <N>BB</N>
</L>
Tags <C> and <F> occur only ones for each XML file. <C> is the child tag of "A" and "F" is the child tag of <C>.
I need to collect <D>, <E> in one internal table ITAB.
I need to collect <G>, <H> in one internal table JTAB.
I need to collect <J>, <K> in one internal table KTAB.
I need to collect <J>, <N> in one internal table PTAB.
Below is the complete XML file.
?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<A>
    <B/>
    <C>
       <D>RED</D>
       <E>999</E>
    <F>
       <G>TRACK</G>
       <H>PACK</H>
    </F>
    <I>
       <J>10</J>
       <K>EN</K>
    </I>

       <N>AA</N>

    <L>
       <J>30</J>
       <N>CC</N>
    </L>
    </C>
</A>
With the help of SDN I am able to gather the values of <D> <E> in one internal table.
Now if I need to gather
<G>, <H> in one internal table JTAB.
<J>, <K> in one internal table KTAB.
<J>, <N> in one internal table PTAB.
I am unable to do. I am following XSLT transformation method. If some one has some suggestions. Please help.

Kindly help.

Hi Rammohan,
Thanks for the effort!
But I don't need to use GUI upload because my functionality does not require to fetch data from presentation server.
Moreover, the split command advised by you contains separate fields...f1, f2, f3... and I cannot use it because I have 164 fields. I will have to split into 164 fields and assign the values back to 164 fields in the work area/header line.
Moreover I have about 10 such work areas. so the effort would be ten times the above effort! I want to avoid this! Please help!
I would be very grateful if you could provide an alternative solution.
Thanks once again,
Best Regards,

Reading XMl file from ABAP

Hi friends,
I am working in SAP 4.6c. Please help me in the following scenario.
I have to read the xml whixjh in the application server.
I have to Make sure each XML only contains 1 IDOC. If 10 idocs are pushed out , there should be 10 XML messages. 1 idoc per XML.
So if the FM receives a message that contains 10 idocs, the routine just needs to split the XML into 10 separate XML's using YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_IDOCNUMBER.XML as the new of each XML.
Convert the XML into UTF-8 compliant
above is my requirement.
Can you guide me how to read a XMl file and findout how many idocs are present in that...
Please guide me...
Thanks in advance,
Sudha

Hi Sudha,

Upload an XML file into the Internal table

Hi Guys,
I want to know, how to upload an xml file into the Internal table through ABAP programming

you just wanted to load the xml file into internal table (as a table of binary strings)or load the xml data mapped to itab row columns
for the first one you can simply use gui_upload
and for the second one you need to load the xml file using gui_upload and use XLST program to transform into an itab

Transfer IDOC File in a Internal Table

Hi all,
I need to Transfer IDOC File in a Internal Table.
Anybody have any idea how can I do this???
Regards,

HI,
is the IDoc exist in SAP?if IDoc exist in SAP you can use one function module to read the idoc and store tha content in internal table.
IDOC_READ_COMPLETELY function module will read the specified idoc number.you can retrieve the control records ,status records and the data record of the idoc.for this you have to declare 3 internal tables (check the function modules for the type of inerna table).you can then loop the internal table and read the data.let us know if u have any problems
