SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT

We are on ECC5.0. I am trying to use function module SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT. I am having problems. When I try to execute the FM I get the message "Error generating the test frame". Do I need to use a different FM. All help is appreciated and will be rewarded.
thanks,
Mani

Its because of the mode you selected to execute. ie you are executing it in SE37.
Try the FM in your program (run time). It will work.
Cheers,
Thomas.

Program is working fine in one version but not in other how to handle this

hi all,
i have a program which works fine in ECC5. in that program i have used some XML related classes and interfaces. but when i try to execute this in 4.6c version its showing lot of all errors saying that so and so class or so and so interface is not supported in 4.6c version like that.
how to overcome these errors, means how to make the classes and interfaces which work fine in ECC5 to work well in 4.6c version.

Hi,
Here is a small sample program to convert data in an internal table into XML format and display it.
DATA: itab TYPE TABLE OF spfli,
 l_xml TYPE REF TO cl_xml_document.
* Read data into a ITAB
SELECT * FROM spfli INTO TABLE itab.
* Create the XML Object
CREATE OBJECT l_xml.
* Convert data in ITAB to XML
CALL METHOD l_xml->create_with_data( name = 'Test1'
 dataobject = t_goal[] ).
* Display XML Document
CALL METHOD l_xml->display.
Here are some other sample SAP programs to handle XML in ABAP:
BCCIIXMLT1, BCCIIXMLT2, and BCCIIXMLT3.
Hope this helps,
Sumant.

Generating an XML Document from an internal table in ABAP

Good day to all of you;
With ABAP, in the R/3 system, I'm trying to figure out a way to accomplish the following:
1) SELECT a set of Purchase Order data into an internal table.
2) Generate an XML document, containing the above data, using a specific schema.
I've been playing around with function module SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT which has the following interface:
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT'
 EXPORTING
 I_FIELD_SEPERATOR = ''
 I_LINE_HEADER = ''
 I_FILENAME = v_fname
 I_APPL_KEEP = ''
 I_XML_DOC_NAME = v_docname
 IMPORTING
 PE_BIN_FILESIZE = v_byte
 TABLES
 I_TAB_SAP_DATA = i_SapData
 CHANGING
 I_TAB_CONVERTED_DATA = i_XMLData
 EXCEPTIONS
 CONVERSION_FAILED = 1
 OTHERS = 2.
I'm uncertain as to whether or not the Export parameter, I_XML_DOC_NAME refers to some schema or definition and therefore have been excluding it. In doing so, the generated XML document seems to use the field name/type information from my itab for the tags.
If this function module requires an XML Document Name, how do I create one and where do I store it in R/3? If this is not the recommended solution, is anyone familiar with a way to load an XML schema, retrieve some data then have SAP generate an XML document using the schema?
Many thanks for any help available.

Issue: XML File Downloading to Application Server

Hi All,
I am experiencing an issue downloading an XML File to the Application Server.
I'm using FM SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT to convert SAP data to XML Format.
After getting the XML data into XMLTAB, I'm using:
OPEN DATASET pfile_fs FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE .
     LOOP AT xmltab INTO xmltab_w.
     TRANSFER xmltab_w TO pfile_fs.
      CLEAR xmltab_w.
     ENDLOOP.
   CLOSE DATASET pfile_fs.
The xml file is downloaded show an Error in 'XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource 'file:/shared/TEST/2009'
But when i download xml file using the FM WS_Download , the XML page has no errors .
I am unable to figure out what could be the issue, If this issue is due to some characters like Chinese or Japanese then .. is there any solution for this .
Please, give me your valuable suggestions.
Thank you,

How to Increase the memory size of a File in the Application Server

Hello Abaper's
I have generated a XML file for the data of internal table (with 10 Records). When i download , i can see the XML file for the Entire 10 Records.
But , while transferring the XML file to Applicationserver , it's transferring only upto max 4 Records.I assume that the memory is insufficient to allocate 10 Records. Can we Increase the Memory size of the File on Application server. OR, is there any error in My Source Code.

Create XML file on application server (unix directory) from internal table

Hallo everybody,
I have got the following problem:
I am working with release 4.6C and have got to create XML files from HR master data and organizational data respectively.
This takes place in 3 steps:
1. Collect the data in an internal table
2. Convert the data to XML format using the function module 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT'
3. Download the data
If I download the converted data, which are in an internal table, to the presentation server via the function module WS_DOWNLOAD and open it with the Internet Explorer, everything is ok.
If I download the converted data to the application server, i.e. into a unix directory via
open dataset, loop at internal table, transfer working area to file, close dataset
and then try to open it, this is not possible, because after the last tag some unreadable characters, e.g. a square, appear that arent supposed to be there. Thats what my colleagues told me, for I havent got access to the server.
I have no idea where these characters come from and how I can get rid of them. I guess that either I have to modify (how?) the table with the converted data before the download or I have to use another way to convert the data. For the second way I would probably have to work with an XML class or an XML interface. Unfortunately II am not an expert in working with classes so sample coding would have to be rather detailed.
Heres some more information about how I work with the conversion function module:
call function 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT'
 exporting
 i_field_seperator = lv_field_seperator
 i_line_header = lv_line_header
 i_filename = lv_xml_file
 i_appl_keep = ' '
 i_xml_doc_name = lv_xml_doc_name
 importing
 pe_bin_filesize = lv_result
 tables
 i_tab_sap_data = gt_data
 changing
 i_tab_converted_data = lt_tab_converted_data
 exceptions
 conversion_failed = 1
 others = 2.
lv_field_seperator = X.
lv_xml_doc_name = Personalstammdaten Publikation
lv_result: type i
gt_data: fields: PERNR, PERSG, PERSK etc.
types:
begin of truxs_xml_line,
 data(256) type x,
end of truxs_xml_line.
types:
truxs_xml_table type table of truxs_xml_line.
data:
lv_tab_converted_data type truxs_xml_line,
lt_tab_converted_data type truxs_xml_table
open dataset lv_xml_file for output in binary mode.
loop at lt_tab_converted_data into lv_tab_converted_data.
transfer lv_tab_converted_data to lv_xml_file.
endloop.
close dataset lv_xml_file
lv_xml_file: /usr/users/.../.../Personendaten_2004-11-02.xml
Hope the information is detailed enough! Otherwise let me know. Thank you in advance.
Message was edited by: Johannes Schwehm

Hi Raja,
tried the "TEXT" mode, but that didn't help.
There are still characters after the last tag, that are not supposed to be there including a date that is not
the creation date of the file.
Thank you for your help.

.......and so on
With this a file is getting created on the application server, but the data is not correct. I am getting the data something like:

HI,
Use this FM SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT to convert the data to XML format and then upload the convert data from the internal table to Application server.

How to Place a file on application server in XML format

Hi,
Our requirement is to place a file from SAP to a folder on application server in XML and vice-versa.
please suggest.
Thanks
Narendra

Hi,
1. convert your internal table data to XML format using function module SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT.
2. Convert the XML data into Xstring format using Function module SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING. pass the file size got from the step 1 in importing parameter.
3. loop on the internal table got from the step 2 and use OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER AND CLOSE DATASET

Run Time Error while Transferring data to Application server

Hello Abaper's,
I have generated a XML data using the FM : " SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT ".
While transferring the data to a File on Application Server using the statement
DATA : wa_xmltab TYPE truxs_xml_line,
 it_xmltab TYPE truxs_xml_table.
OPEN DATASET FNAME FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
LOOP AT it_xmltab INTO wa_xmltab.
 TRANSFER wa_xmltab TO FNAME. <<<<<<<<<<<<<< Getting Error here
ENDLOOP.
ELSE.
MESSAGE e004(zmsg5) WITH 'File FNAME not opened'.
ENDIF.
CLOSE DATASET FNAME.
The Run Time Error i am Facing is
Short text
 The current statement is only defined for character-type data objects.
Error analysis
 For the statement
 "TRANSFER f TO ..."
 only character-type data objects are supported at the argument position
 "f".
 In this case. the operand "f" has the non-character-type "TRUXS_XML_LINE". The
 current program is a Unicode program. In the Unicode context, the type
 'X' or structures containing not only character-type components are
 regarded as non-character-type.

Hello Volker Binder ,
Thank you . it's now transferring the data to Application sercver. I forgot to try using Binay mode,
Thers is one more problem. There are 10 Records in that internal table that is being converted to XML format,
but the XML data is showing only first 4 records.... the XML data format for the remaining data is not seen.
Actual No. of Records in Internal table :
matnr matkl meins
0-BUY1 012 PC
0-BUY2 012 PC
1 EA
2 012 L
3 01 EA
12 EA
23 001 ST
24 015` EA
28 010 EA
29 015` AU
XML Format for the above 10 fields is :
<?xml version="1.0"?><TY_MARA><TY_MARA><MATNR Datatype="C" Length="36">0-BUY1</MATNR><MATKL Datatype="C" Length="18">012</MATKL><MEINS Datatype="C" Length="6">PC
</MEINS>
</TY_MARA><TY_MARA><MATNR Datatype="C" Length="36">0-BUY2</MATNR><MATKL Datatype="C" Length="18">012</MATKL><MEINS Datatype="C" Length="6">
PC </MEINS>
</TY_MARA><TY_MARA><MATNR Datatype="C" Length="36">000000000000000001</MATNR><MEINS Datatype="C" Length="6">EA</MEINS>
</TY_MARA><TY_MARA><MATNR Datatype="C" Length="36">000000000000000002</MATNR
This 4th record data in XML is also incomplete..
The above XML format is generated only for 4 records out of 10 Records.
Please let me know , how can i increase the Size / Memory of the Application server file to accomodate for the reamining Records
Regards
Jv

GUI_Download for XML file ?

Hi Experts,
I have xml data in an internal table say int_xml_data.
While i m downloading this data to presenatation server using gui_download m getting an error:
"The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource 'file:///C:/Vendor File.xml'. Line 1, Position 1

I have used the function like this:-
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
BIN_FILESIZE =
 FILENAME = 'C:\Vendor File.xml'
 FILETYPE = 'BIN'
APPEND = ' '
WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR = ' '

 OTHERS = 22
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

ENDIF.
What is the mistake ???
How can the xml data be downloaded to presentation seerver? ?
Function works fine for .txt data but not for xml ???

@ Sandeep:
I did this only.
Firstly I converted data into xml using SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT
the code is:
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT'
EXPORTING
I_FIELD_SEPERATOR = ':'
I_LINE_HEADER =
I_FILENAME = w_path
I_APPL_KEEP = ' '
I_XML_DOC_NAME = <w_xml_file>
IMPORTING
PE_BIN_FILESIZE =
 TABLES
 I_TAB_SAP_DATA = int_final_vendor
 CHANGING
 I_TAB_CONVERTED_DATA = int_xml_data
 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.
After this I am downloading the data using GUI_Download
Code is
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
BIN_FILESIZE =
 FILENAME = w_file
 FILETYPE = 'BIN'
APPEND = ' '
WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR = ' '
HEADER = '00'
TRUNC_TRAILING_BLANKS = ' '
