Kindly sugggest how to approach

Answer 1

Hi
Use the function module
SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT
Example
TYPE-POOLS truxs.
DATA:
  itab TYPE TABLE OF spfli,
  itab1 TYPE truxs_xml_table,
  fs TYPE truxs_xml_line,
  w_xml TYPE xstring.
SELECT * FROM spfli INTO TABLE itab.
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT'
* EXPORTING
*   I_FIELD_SEPERATOR          =
*   I_LINE_HEADER              =
*   I_FILENAME                 =
*   I_APPL_KEEP                = ' '
*   I_XML_DOC_NAME             =
* IMPORTING
*   PE_BIN_FILESIZE            =
  TABLES
    i_tab_sap_data             = itab
CHANGING
   i_tab_converted_data       = itab1
* EXCEPTIONS
*   CONVERSION_FAILED          = 1
*   OTHERS                     = 2
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
LOOP AT itab1 INTO fs.
  WRITE:/ fs-data.
ENDLOOP.
the above works the same as this,
CALL TRANSFORMATION id SOURCE
                        source = itab
                        RESULT XML w_xml.
ULINE.
WRITE:/ w_xml.
