Simple transformation formatting
Dear Expert,
I would like to know how can I format my transformation result using simple transformation. I have an attribute that is supposed to display a date in the format YYYYMMDD. However, the default format is YYYY-MM-DD. How can I change this behavior in simple transformation? Thanks!
Regards,
Alex
Hey Alex,
do you have a solution already? I have the same problem, the format of the date in the XML-File is "20140101" and I can´t transform it with Simple Transformation to the ABAP Type DATS which waits for "2014-01-01" or "2014.01.01".
the Transformation looks like this in the moment:
<DATE tt:value-ref="DATE"/>
The ABAP type of the field DATE is DATS. And the XML looks at this part like this:
<DATE>20131201</DATE>
Regards,
Christoph

Simple transformation with reference to ddic structures
Hi, experts,
we decide to use xml as the format when exchanging massive data with other applications. and we want to use simple transformation because according to the document it's more fast.
actually our file structure is determined by certain ddic structures, one xml file main contain several ddic structures , and they are all flat one, not deep structure.
the xml file may look like this:
<data>
<ddic1>[components of ddic structure 1 ]</ddic1>
<ddic2>[components of ddic structure 2 ]</ddic2>
</data>
i am new to ST,i am wondering that is it possible to make the ST more easy with the help of ddic structure? do i still need to declare the components one by one in the ST program?
BR.
junIt only runs ok with 2 internal tables because of the way you set up the XML string. It will run ok with 3 internal tables too. If you strip out the '<C>' nodes or move the '<C>' nodes around, you'll see what I mean (move the C nodes to the last B node). Each time you start a loop in a simple transformation, the internal table is initialized. So, you need to form your sample XML string differently, declare your internal tables differently (nested), or use XSLT for a little more power.

Simple Transformation XML to ABAP Content of tag with subtrees to string field
Hi,
I have an requirement in which I have to do a transformation from an XML file to an structure.
I need get the value of a tag that have subtrees and move that to a field in my structure.
Example:
<TAG1>value1</TAG1>
<TAG2>value2</TAG2>
<TAG3>
<TAG4>value4</TAG4>
<TAG5>value5</TAG5>
</TAG3>
Result expected in ABAP Structure:
field1 -> tag1
field2 -> tag2
field3 -> <TAG4>value4</TAG4><TAG5>value5</TAG5>
The contents of the tag TAG3 is variable, so I want to store it as a string.
Can I make this with Simple Transformation?
In my tests I can move only the value of each child tag for the given field structure.
This syntax dont work:
<TAG3 tt:value-ref="STRUCTURE.FIELD3"/>
Thanks and Regards,
Miguel MottaHi Miguel
Have a look at below snippets. Here I have tried to escape the text inside TAG3 so that it gets treated as single node during transformation.
ABAP code
DATA: BEGIN OF result,
col1 TYPE string,
col2 TYPE string,
col3 TYPE string,
END OF result.
DATA: xml_string TYPE string VALUE
'<ROOT> <TAG1>value1</TAG1> <TAG2>value2</TAG2> <TAG3> <TAG4>value4</TAG4> <TAG5>value5</TAG5> </TAG3> </ROOT>',
part1 TYPE string,
part2 TYPE string,
part3 TYPE string.
* Escape the text inside TAG3 tag
FIND REGEX '(.*<TAG3>)(.*)(</TAG3>.*)' IN xml_string SUBMATCHES part1 part2 part3.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
part2 = escape( val = part2 format = cl_abap_format=>e_xml_text ).
* REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '<' IN part2 WITH '<'.
* REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '>' IN part2 WITH '>'.
xml_string = part1 && part2 && part3.
ENDIF.

Simple Transformation for XML created by Excel
Hello,
Excel can produce XML files quite easily in this documented format:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa140062(office.10).aspx
(in excel: file --> save as and choose XML)
Does someone has an idea of how I can read this XML using a Simple Transformation in ABAP?
Example: if this is an excel sheet with 3 columns and 3 lines
¦----
¦
¦ PERNR ¦ BEGDA ¦ ANZHL ¦
¦----
¦
¦ 12346 ¦ 20.02.2009 ¦15 ¦
¦----
¦
¦ 2356 ¦ 25.02.2009 ¦12 ¦
¦----
¦
this is the XML
The goal would be to transform this XML into an internal table. Any idea is appreciated.

Simple transformation dropping trailing zero.
Hi experts.
I am having a problem with my transformation file, and I was hoping someone could help me.
I have created a simple transformation file, with a variable using the type of "DMBTR" which Does have 2 decimal points.
IF I have data - the two decimal points print.
EG if the amount is 100.57.. I get the 100.57 to print which is what I need and expect.
BUT.
IF the amount is 100.50 I am getting 100.5 Is is dropping the final zero amount, and therefore is failing in the validation.
HOW can I FORCE the two decimal points to print?
I have even tried it where I declare it as a variable of type "I" with 2 decimal points, and it still does not work.
I can not figure out how to use the Number format option with a Value-ref print line.
If someone could help me with that.. I could try that to see if it worked.
thank you.
eg: of the way the data is declared:
<tt:type name="GRTOT14" type="I" length="13" decimals="2"/>
OR
<tt:type name="GRTOT16" type="ddic:DMBTR"/>
<tt:type name="GRTOT17" type="ddic:DMBTR"/>
eg: of the way I am using it where I am getting only one decimal place if the 2nd decimal place is ZERO
<tot_grnt_sbsdy_amt tt:value-ref=".GRTOT14"/>
<tot_insu_prcd_amt tt:value-ref=".GRTOT16"/>
<tot_opay_rcap_amt tt:value-ref=".GRTOT17"/>
PLEASE HELP.
thank you.From what I understand about XML (could be more), the canonical representation of decimal values does not allow a fixed number of decimal places.
SAP documentation:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/52/491a40251e2402e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
from there, this XML documentation is referenced:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#decimal
important bit:
Leading and trailing zeroes are prohibited subject to the following: there must be at least one digit to the right and to the left of the decimal point which may be a zero.
You already discarded my workaround: using a character or string type field and fill it to your liking prior to serialisation.

hello,
anybody knows how to get the get the DOCTYPE statement in my XML file which is generated via simple transformation. my simple transformation program looks like:
<?sap.transform simple?>
<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates" template="tmpl1">
<tt:root name="ROOT1"/>
<tt:root name="ROOT2"/>
<tt:template name="tmpl1">
<BatchSet Format="xxxxxxx" FormatSet="676 xxxx" Name="xxxx" TotalBatches="1">
<tt:loop name="line1" ref=".ROOT1">
<X1>
<tt:value ref="$line1.KSTAR"/>
</X1>
</tt:loop>
<X2>
<tt:loop name="line2" ref=".ROOT2">
<tt:value ref="$line2.KSTAR"/>
</tt:loop>
</X2>
</BatchSet>
</tt:template>
</tt:transform>
The result should look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" ?>
<!DOCTYPE BatchSet SYSTEM "xxxx.dtd" >
<BatchSet Format="xxxxxxx" FormatSet="xxxxx" Name="xxxxxx" TotalBatches="1">

<X1>1</X1>
<X2>2222222222</X2>
</BatchSet>
IF I enter the <!DOCTYPE BatchSet SYSTEM "xxxx..dtd" > in my ST programm I get a syntax error.
Anybody of you has an idea?

Simple Transformations: How deserialize xmlns attributes?
Hello all,
during deserializing Simple Transformations ignore surplus attributes in the xml input stream. With one exception: u201Exmlnsu201C (namespace) attributes apparently are not ignored.
Take for example the xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<CITIES someattribute="XYZ">
<CITY>Hamburg</CITY>
<CITY>Berlin</CITY>
</CITIES>
This file can be processed successfully by the simple transformation:
<?sap.transform simple?>
<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">
<tt:root name="CITIES"></tt:root>
<tt:template>
<CITIES>
<tt:loop ref="CITIES">
<CITY tt:value-ref="CITY"></CITY>
</tt:loop>
</CITIES>
</tt:template>
</tt:transform>
When trying to process the following xml file by the same transformation, however, a CX_ST_MATCH_ELEMENT error is thrown.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<CITIES xmlns="XYZ">
<CITY>Hamburg</CITY>
<CITY>Berlin</CITY>
</CITIES>
How can xmlns attributes be deserialized (ignored) with simple transformations?
Thanks for any hint!
Simon

To reproduce the error the following ABAP can be used in combination with the quoted simple transformation:

Simple Transformation to deserialize an XML file into ABAP data structures?
I'm attempting to write my first simple transformation to deserialize
an XML file into ABAP data structures and I have a few questions.
My simple transformation contains code like the following
<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates"
xmlns:pp="http://www.sap.com/abapxml/types/defined" >
<tt:type name="REPORT" line-type="?">
<tt:node name="COMPANY_ID" type="C" length="10" />
<tt:node name="JOB_ID" type="C" length="20" />
<tt:node name="TYPE_CSV" type="C" length="1" />
<tt:node name="TYPE_XLS" type="C" length="1" />
<tt:node name="TYPE_PDF" type="C" length="1" />
<tt:node name="IS_NEW" type="C" length="1" />
</tt:type>
<tt:root name="ROOT2" type="pp:REPORT" />
<QueryResponse>
<tt:loop ref="ROOT2" name="line">
<QueryResponseRow>
<CompanyID>
<tt:value ref="$line.COMPANY_ID" />
</CompanyID>
<JobID>
<tt:value ref="$line.JOB_ID" />
</JobID>
<ExportTypes>
<tt:loop>
<ExportType>
I don't know what to do here (see item 3, below)
</ExportType>
</tt:loop>
</ExportTypes>
<IsNew>
<tt:value ref="$line.IS_NEW"
map="val(' ') = xml('false'), val('X') = xml('true')" />
</IsNew>
</QueryResponseRow>
</tt:loop>
</QueryResponse>
</tt:loop>
1. In a DTD, an element can be designated as occurring zero or one
time, zero or more times, or one or more times. How do I write the
simple transformation to accommodate these possibilities?
2. In trying to accommodate the "zero or more times" case, I am trying
to use the <tt:loop> instruction. It occurs several layers deep in the
XML hierarchy, but at the top level of the ABAP table. The internal
table has a structure defined in the ABAP program, not in the data
dictionary. In the simple transformation, I used <tt:type> and
<tt:node> to define the structure of the internal table and then
tried to use <tt:loop ref="ROOT2" name="line"> around the subtree that
can occur zero or more times. But every variation I try seems to get
different errors. Can anyone supply a working example of this?
3. Among the fields in the internal table, I've defined three
one-character fields named TYPE_CSV, TYPE_XLS, and TYPE_PDF. In the
XML file, I expect zero to three elements of the form
<ExportType exporttype='csv' />
<ExportType exporttype='xls' />
<ExportType exporttype='pdf' />
I want to set field TYPE_CSV = 'X' if I find an ExportType element
with its exporttype attribute set to 'csv'. I want to set field
TYPE_XLS = 'X' if I find an ExportType element with its exporttype
attribute set to 'xls'. I want to set field TYPE_PDF = 'X' if I find
an ExportType element with its exporttype attribute set to 'pdf'. How
can I do that?
4. For an element that has a value like
<ErrorCode>123</ErrorCode>
in the simple transformation, the sequence
<ErrorCode> <tt:value ref="ROOT1.CODE" /> </ErrorCode>
seems to work just fine.
I have other situations where the XML reads
<IsNew value='true' />
I wanted to write
<IsNew>
<tt:value ref="$line.IS_NEW"
map="val(' ') = xml('false'), val('X') = xml('true')" />
</IsNew>
but I'm afraid that the <tt:value> fails to deal with the fact that in
the XML file the value is being passed as the value of an attribute
(named "value"), rather than the value of the element itself. How do
you handle this?Try this code below:
data l_xml_table2 type table of xml_line with header line.
W_filename - This is a Path.
if w_filename(02) = '
open dataset w_filename for output in binary mode.
if sy-subrc = 0.
l_xml_table2[] = l_xml_table[].
loop at l_xml_table2.
transfer l_xml_table2 to w_filename.
endloop.
endif.
close dataset w_filename.
else.
call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
exporting
bin_filesize = l_xml_size
filename = w_filename
filetype = 'BIN'
changing
data_tab = l_xml_table
exceptions
others = 24.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
endif. -
I have tried a lot to find an app or some way in email to attach multiple of pdf files in one email. I could not find anything that sends multiple pdf file in one email and still keeping the file in simple pdf format for the recipient.
I am not aware of a way except for photos that allows you to select multiple files in an email. I even checked settings in the Adobe Reader app, and it does not show that ability.

Using Simple Transformations with Objects tt:copy .. results in Exception
Question:
How can I serialize an ABAP-Object-Instanz with my own simple transformation?
In the sap-documentation I found the following solution for the serialisation of any data-objects.
"z_steffens_simple_transf":
<?sap.transform simple?>
<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">
<tt:root name="ROOT"/>
<tt:template>
<root>
<tt:copy ref="ROOT"/>
</root>
</tt:template>
</tt:transform>
Following the example I wrote this report:
report zspahr_test_simple_transf.
class serializable definition.
public section.
interfaces if_serializable_object.
data attr type string value 'Attribute'.
endclass.
method main_serializable.
data: oref type ref to serializable,
xmlstr type xstring.
create object oref.
call transformation id
source root = oref
result xml xmlstr.
call function 'DISPLAY_XML_STRING'
exporting
xml_string = xmlstr.
call transformation z_steffens_simple_object
source root = oref
result xml xmlstr.
call function 'DISPLAY_XML_STRING'
exporting
xml_string = xmlstr.
endmethod. "main_
start-of-selection.
demo=>main_serializable( ).
Executing this report leads to an exception "CX_SY_REF_NOT_SUPPORTED".
The "standard" transformation "ID" ist working an translates my object-instance into an asXML representation:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0">
- <asx:values>
<ROOT href="#o3" />
</asx:values>

- <local.SERIALIZABLE>
<ATTR>Attribute</ATTR>
</local.SERIALIZABLE>
</prg:SERIALIZABLE>
</asx:heap>
</asx:abap>
How can I do this with my own Simple Transformation "ZSPAHR_TEST_SIMPLE_TRANSF" ?
I want to serialize my object using my own xml-structure, not the asXML-structure !

How to escape special characters in Simple Transformation
Hi Experts,
I have got a problem to get a well formed xml document from the below simple transformation. The content of maktx contains
special characters like & <, which are not allowed in a well formed XML-Document. But the result of the Simple Transformation
contains this charcters even after the transformation as you can the in the result below. Has anyone a hint how to escape the
characters included in the maktx.
The transformation for maktx, should be something like

After: Material & < TEST

First of all thaks for your quick answer to my problem.
I see what you mean and get the same result, if I am using data-type string instead of xstring. But the recommendation in the XML-Books of SAP is to use XSTRING to save memory and circumflex problems between Codepages, when writing the XML-Stream to a filesystem.
As you can see in the code abvoe I am using a SAP-FM to display the XML-Stream and this FM works only with XSTRING´s,
that is one reason why I don´t understand that it displays it in the wrong way.
Even the Debugger shows me for the XSTRING the wrong result. Does all that mean that the escaping will not be applyed if you are working with XSTING´s?? -
Simple transformation tt: utf-16 to utf-8 encoding
Hi,
(reposting here as no response in the ABAP General forum)
I have a simple transformation the results of which are written to a file using open dataset. The XML in the file is appearing with encoding utf-16 but I need utf-8. I tried placing the following line in the transformation but it did not work:
<xsl:output encoding="utf-8"/>
The only way it works is if I use type xstring for the result of the transformation and not string. I then have to convert the xml from xstring to string before writing to the file. This works but I was wondering if there was an easier way to change the encoding of a simple transformation (tt:) ?????????
CheHi All,
Reopening this old post, as I found that the same transformation and same program call results in an XML with utf-8 in a NW 7.30 system, while utf-16 in a NW 7.01 system!
Any ideas why would it happen like this? And if there's anything that can be done to make sure the encoding remains same in both the systems? -

DeviHi Friends
How to write transformation code for the following xml data.. Please let me know immedately if any one know..
I have written as following but i encountered an eror staating -
Iam facing the following error
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_ST_REF_ACCESS', was not caught in
procedure "UPLOAD_XML" "(FORM)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.
Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
The goal was to access variable "ROOT1". However, this access was not
possible.
Go through my xml file , the code and code in simple transformation.. Please reply(transformation code) me as soon as possible

Simple transformation : deserialize
Hi,
I have a simple transformation that works if I serialize table data, but it doesn't work when I wan't to deserialize.
Here is my ABAP program that calls the transformation:
TYPES: BEGIN OF flight,
f_id TYPE p LENGTH 5,
data TYPE c LENGTH 40,
END OF flight,
tt_flight TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF flight
WITH DEFAULT KEY.
DATA: data1 TYPE flight.
DATA: data2 TYPE flight.
DATA: xml_string TYPE string.
DATA: tab_data TYPE tt_flight.
data1-f_id = '00001'.
data1-data = 'before'.
APPEND data1 to tab_data.
data2-f_id = '00002'.
data2-data = 'before'.
APPEND data2 to tab_data.
concatenate '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-2"?><XY><flights>'
'<flight><id>11111</id><data>data1</data></flight>'
'<flight><id>22222</id><data>data2</data></flight>'
'</flights></XY>'
into xml_string.
CALL TRANSFORMATION ...
SOURCE XML xml_string
RESULT root = tab_data.
And the transformation:
<?sap.transform simple?>
<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates" template="temp_main">
<tt:root name="ROOT"/>
<tt:template name="temp_main">
<XY>
<flights>
<tt:loop name="line" ref="ROOT">
<flight>
<id>
<tt:value ref="f_id"/>
</id>
<data>
<tt:value ref="data">
</data>
</flight>
</tt:loop>
</flights>
</XY>
</tt:template>
</tt:transform>
It won't update or append the content of the xml to my table.
I would like to read many "<flight><id>.....</id><data>......</data></flight>" lines and write them into the table "tab_data".
Could somebody please help me?
Thanks in advance,
GregHi Greg,
try to address the root node with a period. Instead of
<tt:loop name="line" ref="ROOT">
use
<tt:loop name="line" ref=".ROOT">

Simple Transformation - XML to Internal Table Error
I have a webservice call that returns XML. I need to transform a portion of the response to an internal table, but my simple transformation is not working with loop processing. I have read through most posts regarding the topic but they're either too old or related to serialization. There aren't any exceptions thrown, but I don't get any data in the internal table (PAPERWORK root). Below are some code snippets. Any ideas on the problem with the XSLT template? Thanks.
Sample XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<PrintVersionDataSet>
<Result>
<ReturnCode>W</ReturnCode>
<ReturnMessage>There are reports with later version(s)</ReturnMessage>
</Result>
<Paperwork>
<ReportCode>CVR</ReportCode>
<ReportName>Cover Sheet</ReportName>
<Version>2</Version>
<PrintedDateTime>2009-05-01T09:54:04.1-05:00</PrintedDateTime>
</Paperwork>
<Paperwork>
<ReportCode>SPS</ReportCode>
<ReportName>Sponsor Summary</ReportName>
<Version>2</Version>
<PrintedDateTime>2009-05-01T09:54:04.99-05:00</PrintedDateTime>
</Paperwork>
</PrintVersionDataSet>
XSLT Code:
<?sap.transform simple?>
<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">
<tt:root name="RESULT"/>
<tt:root name="PAPERWORK"/>
<tt:template>
<PrintVersionDataSet>
<Result tt:ref="RESULT">
<ReturnCode>
<tt:value ref="RETURNCODE"/>
</ReturnCode>
<ReturnMessage>
<tt:value ref="RETURNMESSAGE"/>
</ReturnMessage>
</Result>
<tt:deserialize>
<tt:loop ref=".PAPERWORK">
<Paperwork>
<ReportCode>
<tt:value ref="REPORTCODE"/>
</ReportCode>
<ReportName>
<tt:value ref="REPORTNAME"/>
</ReportName>
<Version>
<tt:value ref="VERSION"/>
</Version>
<PrintedDateTime>
<tt:value ref="PRINTEDDATETIME"/>
</PrintedDateTime>
</Paperwork>
</tt:loop>
</tt:deserialize>
</PrintVersionDataSet>
</tt:template>
</tt:transform>
ABAP Call to Transform Data:
TRY.
CALL TRANSFORMATION Z_GA_PAPERWORK_VERS_WEBSVC
SOURCE XML LS_RESPONSE-VERIFY_PRINT_VERSION_RESULT
RESULT RESULT = LS_RESULT
PAPERWORK = LT_PAPERWORK.
CATCH CX_ROOT INTO ROOT_EXCEPTION.
CALL METHOD ROOT_EXCEPTION->IF_MESSAGE~GET_TEXT
RECEIVING
RESULT = LV_MESSAGE.
ENDTRY.Upon further inspection and testing with a simple file and program, I can see that the XML structure isn't quite correct for the loop process. There needs to be a single <PAPERWORK> node, instead of one for each table line in the file. This should allow the loop to execute properly after a slight adjustment to the XSLT template.
