Abap- XML: sorting of attributes

Hi,
I would like to create an XML-File from ABAP.
This still works fine.
There's only one problem: the sorting of the output-XML-file is not like the sorting at the XSLT.
Here's the part of the coding of the transformation:
<xsl:element name="PERSON">
 <xsl:attribute name="Personennr"><xsl:value-of select="PARTNR_--40ADRNR" /></xsl:attribute>
 <xsl:attribute name="PersArtCd"><xsl:value-of select="PARTTYPE" /></xsl:attribute>
 <xsl:attribute name="LandesCd"><xsl:value-of select="COUNTRY" /></xsl:attribute>
 <xsl:attribute name="PLZ"><xsl:value-of select="POSTCODE" /></xsl:attribute>
 <xsl:attribute name="Ort"><xsl:value-of select="CITY" /></xsl:attribute>
 <xsl:attribute name="Strasse"><xsl:value-of select="STREET_NO" /></xsl:attribute>
The output looks like this:
<PERSON LandesCd="A" Ort="WIEN" PLZ="1010" PersArtCd="X" Personennr="000123456" Strasse="STREET. 1">
I want to have the field "Personennr" at first position and the sorting as in the XSLT respectively.
Any ideas??
Best regards,
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,
I receive attributes in the listed order, unsorted, only with crazy tricks...
Either using names with leading spaces:<pre>
 <xsl:attribute name=" Personennr"><xsl:value-of select="PARTNR_--40ADRNR" /></xsl:attribute>
 <xsl:attribute name=" PersArtCd"><xsl:value-of select="PARTTYPE" /></xsl:attribute>
 <xsl:attribute name=" LandesCd"><xsl:value-of select="COUNTRY" /></xsl:attribute>
 <xsl:attribute name=" PLZ"><xsl:value-of select="POSTCODE" /></xsl:attribute>
 <xsl:attribute name=" Ort"><xsl:value-of select="CITY" /></xsl:attribute>
 <xsl:attribute name="Strasse"><xsl:value-of select="STREET_NO" /></xsl:attribute> </pre>
or using different namespaces for each attribute:<pre>
 <xsl:attribute name="Personennr" namespace="1"><xsl:value-of select="PARTNR_--40ADRNR" /></xsl:attribute>
 <xsl:attribute name="PersArtCd" namespace="2"><xsl:value-of select="PARTTYPE" /></xsl:attribute>
 <xsl:attribute name="LandesCd" namespace="3"><xsl:value-of select="COUNTRY" /></xsl:attribute>
 <xsl:attribute name="PLZ" namespace="4"><xsl:value-of select="POSTCODE" /></xsl:attribute>
 <xsl:attribute name="Ort" namespace="5"><xsl:value-of select="CITY" /></xsl:attribute>
 <xsl:attribute name="Strasse" namespace="6"><xsl:value-of select="STREET_NO" /></xsl:attribute> </pre>
Of course, it contradicts the W3C standards and common sense and the first trick doesn't work with IE or other XSLT processors, except SAP's XSLT_TOOL and CALL TRANSFORMATION...
Best regards,
Vlad

XML-22009: (Error) Attribute 'select' not found in 'xsl:value-of'

Hello,
I'm a long-time Siebel developer but novice to BIP, trying to enhance some complex rtf templates that an experienced xdo/bip developer (contractor) designed for us in the past, with a couple of new fields that have been added to the integration object.
All templates and sub-templates receive 'no errors found' when using add-in tool selection of 'Validate Template'. Unfortunately we cannot utilize the 'preview' capability due to the way the sub-templates are called, so only way to test is to upload into server and attempt to run real-time.
This results in UI error of SBL-OMS-00203, which when we dig into the xdo log file turns out to be:
<Line 648, Column 88>: XML-22009: (Error) Attribute 'select' not found in 'xsl:value-of'.
I have exported all templates and sub-templates into XSL-FO Style Sheet and looked at line 648 column 88, and none of them seem to correspond to this line/column combination (in fact most exports do not even go that high in lines).
Googling 'XML-22009' hasn't proven to be of much help, so reaching out to the xdo experts in this forum.
How are the line/column #'s determined in the xdo log output?
I am pretty sure that it must be some issue with my 'Main' template, since none of the sub-templates have been changed (and the current version of the report, without the new fields incorporated, still runs fine from the UI). In the XSL-FO format export of the (modified, with new fields added) 'Main.rtf' file, line 648 places it right in the midst of a bunch of hex which corresponds to an imbedded image (which was also part of the existing template, no change there) and that line only has 65 columns (i.e. doesn't even go up to 88), so I'm questioning how valid the Line/Column information is in the xdo log error message.
Any hints on troubleshooting this one would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks & Regards,
Katrina

Hi,
as I wrote in the inital message, we even left out the output method or used "application/pdf". The result is unfortunately always the same. And I still claim this is not a problem with the stylesheet itself, it has to do something with the mobile's environment.
Something I didn't tell: we have 2 servlets in our application, 1 responsible for output in html and 1 in pdf. The .fo stylesheet passed to the 'html servlet' is parsed correctly (and shows the source code, because it does not know about fo and conversion to pdf), the .xsl stylesheet passed to the 'pdf servlet' raises same exception/same line. You might tell us that there is a problem with the 'pdf servlet', but once again: why in online it is working?
Greetings and thanx very much for your precious time!

I am in hurry,how to save the xml file without attributes

i have the following xml file with attributes,
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Ve2.Configuration>
 <Ve2.Displaymanager>
 <type type="combobox">eVeDisplayStandardType</type>
 <setCounter type="bool">false</setCounter>
 <frames type="textfield">20</frames>
 </Ve2.Displaymanager>
</Ve2.Configuration>
but i want to save it without attributes, that means, my saved xml file look like this.:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Ve2.Configuration>
 <Ve2.Displaymanager>
 <type >eVeDisplayStandardType</type>
 <setCounter >false</setCounter>
 <frames20</frames>
 </Ve2.Displaymanager>
</Ve2.Configuration>
how can i do it with java.

If you know the format of the XML file, then you can write a straight forward XSL file to transform it.

XML tag with attributes and one value via XSU

I need to generate a XML structure with attributes in the opening tag, and just one value in the body, like this:
<PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE NET-PRICE="0" CURRENCY="USD">9.99</PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE>
Without an object type, I can just create tags like this
XML3
<PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE>9.99</PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE>
(with no attributes, but a single value) via the followig statement
SELECT sys_xmlgen ('9.99',
sys.xmlgenformattype.createFormat('PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE')
).getClobVal() "XML3"
FROM DUAL;
Having an object "productlisteprice_type", defined by
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE productlisteprice_type AS OBJECT
"@NET-PRICE" VARCHAR2(10),
"@CURRENCY" VARCHAR2(10),
"PRICE" VARCHAR2(20)
I just get XML like this
XML2
<PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE NET-PRICE="0" CURRENCY="USD">
<PRICE>9.99</PRICE>
</PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE>
(with attributes, but no direct value beneath the "PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE" tag) via the following statement
SELECT sys_xmlgen ( productlisteprice_type(0,'USD','9.99'),
sys.xmlgenformattype.createFormat('PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE')
).getClobVal() "XML2"
FROM DUAL;
Not what I need :-(
Are there any possibilities in XSU to get the needed XML code? Or do I have to do some post-production via XSQL???
Another question: Is it possible to use specific keywords like "online" as XML tagnames, via objects? The objects don't allow "online" as a field name...
Thanks in advance,
Holger

Hi
Thank you for your answer. The function module SMUM_XML_PARSE is a good way to Read a XML. Now I have found the Correct way with simple transfer and it works with an array too.

DOM, and (not) sorting by Attribute name

I'm using XML files to store certian options for a program I'm making. The only problem though is that it seems as though the NamedNodeMap you get from calling node.getAttributes has the attributes in sorted order.
Namely it's sorted alphabetically.
This is not at all what I would like, it's pretty important that the attributes be in the order I wrote them, not sorted.
Is there another way I can do this?
I could always just have a text entry for the Attribute types, like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
AttributeType_1, AttributeType_2
<whatever AttributeType_1="whatever" AttributeType_2>
#And so on.
</root>
Or I could do any number of variations on that theme.

Here is some source code.
xmlGenerate.java
This will convert 2D arrays into XML Strings, or vice versa. There's a couple other things it does too, but that's the important part (

This isn't what I'm actually using, but I whipped it up real quick so you could get an idea about how it would be used.

XML Sorting

A little new to this... but I have gotten my "for each"
repeating field working great, but how do I choose a sort for the
results? I want to sort the results based on one of my XML
variables. i.e. I have a field that is numbered 1-5, and I want it
to sort in reverse order (all the 5's first, etc.)
Thanks - Don

Of course XSLT would be technique of choice if it would be available. The really cool hacker solution of course wouuld be building your own XSLT / XPATH implementation in abap for 4.6- but sometimes the quick and dirty solution is the better choice. In the end if the XML is not to structured / complex it's just a bit hack and slay or SPLIT and CONCATENATE ;o)
DATA:
lv_xml_old TYPE string,
lv_xml_new TYPE string,
ln_beg TYPE i,
ln_end TYPE i,
ln_len TYPE i,
lv_buff TYPE string,
lt_buff TYPE TABLE OF string.
CONCATENATE
'<doc number = ''12343401''>John Smith</doc>'
'<BEHs>'
'<BEH id = ''04''>2000</BEH>'
'<BEH id = ''02''>200</BEH>'
'<BEH id = ''03''>1230</BEH>'
'<BEH id = ''01''>223</BEH>'

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '''' IN lv_xml_old WITH '"'.
FIND FIRST OCCURRENCE OF '<BEHs>' IN lv_xml_old MATCH OFFSET ln_beg.
FIND FIRST OCCURRENCE OF '</BEHs>' IN lv_xml_old MATCH OFFSET ln_end.
ln_beg = ln_beg + 6.
ln_len = ln_end - ln_beg.
SPLIT lv_xml_old+ln_beg(ln_len) AT '</BEH>' INTO TABLE lt_buff.

XML: sorting XML nodes

How would I sort a bunch of XML nodes? I don't necessarily
need to change the existing structure, but I do need to iterate
through in a specific order. In AS2 I would use the childNodes
array and use Array.sort.

And here's a attribute sort function from
http://freerpad.blogspot.com/2007/07/more-hierarchical-sorting-e4x-xml-for.html.
var xml:XML =
<root>
<node id="2">alpha</node>
<node id="3">delta</node>
<node id="5">bravo</node>
<node id="0">foxtrot</node>
<node id="1">echo</node>
<node id="4">charlie</node>
</root>
sortXmlAttribute(xml,"id",true, Array.CASEINSENSITIVE);
trace(xml)
function sortXmlAttribute
( avXml :XML,
avAttributeName :String,
avPutEmptiesAtBottom :Boolean,
avArraySortArgument0 :* = 0,
avArraySortArgument1 :* = 0 )
:void
var lvChildrenCount:int
= avXml.children().length();
if( lvChildrenCount == 0 )
return;
if( lvChildrenCount > 1 )
var lvAttributeValue :String;
var lvXml :XML;
var lvSortOptions:int
= avArraySortArgument0 is Function
? avArraySortArgument1 : avArraySortArgument0;
var lvSortCaseInsensitive:Boolean
= ( lvSortOptions & Array.CASEINSENSITIVE )
== Array.CASEINSENSITIVE;
var lvArray:Array = new Array();
for each( lvXml in avXml.children() )
lvAttributeValue
= lvXml.attribute( avAttributeName );
if( lvSortCaseInsensitive )
lvAttributeValue
= lvAttributeValue.toUpperCase();
if( lvArray.indexOf( lvAttributeValue ) == -1 )
lvArray.push( lvAttributeValue );
} // for each
if( lvArray.length > 1 )
lvArray.sort
avArraySortArgument0,
avArraySortArgument1
if( avPutEmptiesAtBottom )
if( lvArray[0] == "" )
lvArray.push( lvArray.shift() );
} // if
} // if
var lvXmlList:XMLList = new XMLList();
for each( lvAttributeValue in lvArray )
for each( lvXml in avXml.children() )
var lvXmlAttributeValue:String
= lvXml.attribute( avAttributeName );
if( lvSortCaseInsensitive )
lvXmlAttributeValue
= lvXmlAttributeValue.toUpperCase();
if( lvXmlAttributeValue == lvAttributeValue )
lvXmlList += lvXml;
} // for each
} // for each
avXml.setChildren( lvXmlList );
} // if
for each( var lvXmlChild:XML in avXml.children() )
sortXmlAttribute
lvXmlChild,
avAttributeName,
avPutEmptiesAtBottom,
avArraySortArgument0,
avArraySortArgument1
} // for each
} // sortXmlAttribute

No matter what, it will not add these nodes. Can anyone help me out? Thanks ahead of time...

Issue with working on a webservice that has xml elements with attributes

This is a branchout of Thread: Some more complex sample of invokin WS needed_
We are working on a project that involves a outbound SALT Web service call that includes complex elements with attributes..We are looking for options of how to use FML API's to pass these attribute values from the application code.
We opened a ticket with oracle where we were suggested to frame the entire xml and pass the xml using the FML32 of the complex element. But when we framed the xml for Service and put the entire XML which includes the attributes using the FML ID of Service.
Please find a sample Schema and XML similar to the one we are working on...its associated code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
 <xs:element name="Service" type="Service_Type" nillable="true">
 <xs:annotation>
 <xs:documentation>Comment describing your root element</xs:documentation>
 </xs:annotation>
 </xs:element>
 <xs:complexType name="Service_Type">
 <xs:sequence>
 <xs:element name="DateTime" type="xs:dateTime" nillable="true">
 </xs:element>
 <xs:element name="UUID" nillable="true">
 </xs:element>
 <xs:element name="Status" type="xs:string" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
 </xs:element>
 </xs:sequence>
 <xs:attribute name="Version" type="xs:string" use="required">
 </xs:attribute>
 <xs:attribute name="Name" type="xs:string" use="required">
 </xs:attribute>
 </xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
The sample XML is :
___<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>___
______
___<Service Name="TestService" Version="1.1" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="Untitled6.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">___
___ <DateTime>2001-12-17T09:30:47Z</DateTime>___
___ <UUID>text</UUID>___
___</Service>___
wsdlcvt generated the mif file with Service as a FML32 type and all its child elements as "mbstring". We tried to leave as it is and we also tried to replace all the child elements and just had a mif entry for "Service" as a mbstring neither produced a different output...Tried to dump using Ferror32 which did not dump any..._
The sample C/C++ code as per suggestions were to do the following...
_1) Have a string with the entire XML for Service_
xmldata="<Service Name=\"TestService"\ Version="1.1\"_ xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=\"Untitled6.xsd\" xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\">_
_ <DateTime>2001-12-17T09:30:47Z</DateTime>_
_ <UUID>text</UUID>_
_</Service>";_
_2) Use Fmbpack32 to create a mbstring data_
_memcpy(reqmbptr, (char*)xmldata.data(),xmldata.length());_
_len=xmldata.length();_
_Fmbpack32(mbcodeName,reqmbptr,len, packdata,(FLDLEN32 *)&packedlen,0);_
userlog("Size of packedlen is %d",packedlen);
3) Add the packed data to the output buffer
Fadd32(fmlbuffer,Service, packdata,packedlen );
But we do not see the Service tag populated in the GWWS outbound request.Everything else makes it....any help on how to move ahead would be appreciated...

It seems you switch to the 10gR3 GA and now the whole XML data is mapped to FLD_MBSTRING.
I will forward my sample to you by mail, but this sample is not offical sample, it is just QA test case. You can refere it and check what's the difference.
Please let me know your mail address.

Hi Chandanal,
I edited your code slightly and I was able to get the correct output.
I changed the following line:
for (int j=0; j >< len; j++)to:
for (int j=0; j < len; j++)I have included the complete source below:

ABAP Query - Sorting Issue in Basic List (SQ03)

Hi,
I have developed a ABAP Query. I want to sort some of the fields, for which I need to add some output fields to the sort sequence box in the Basic List page in SQ03/SQ01. But, I am not able to drag and drop the fields directly. Please suggest how can this be done? Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Tejas Savla

Hi Abhishek,
There are three things related to Query.
1) You have to create the USER GROUP in SQ03.
2) You have to create the Infoset in SQ02. In this infoset you can write the logic of the program/Query what ever you want to perform.So you can sort the table in the infoset in the program logic.you have to create the output table of the query.
3) you have to create the Query in SQ01 and you have to associate the User group and infoset . you have to design the layput of the output you want to have.this output fields would be same as you have defined in infoset(step 2).
hope this will help you.
thanks

ABAP XML Processing

Hello,
We are planning to setup our SAP system to generate XML messages (from ABAP transaction/program). Then it will send this XML message in our counterparts outside our network (i.e. HQ) which is not necessarily using an SAP system. Then it will send back a response XML message to our SAP system with data that we need to save and process in our database. We are only using SAP R3 Enterprise 4.7. My question is, Is this setup is achievable in our current release of SAP? What other options do we have? Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Tony
