Simple Transformation when XML sometimes appears without data

Hi to all
I am doing a ST to read XML file, and update this info in SAP.
All is right, but happens some structures are sometimes without data, and this situation is normal in the business process.
Example with Data:
Example without DATA
Exists, any form of the ST don´t throw error for this situation ? Have I to use some tag in particular?
Thank you very much for the help
regards
Dario

Thanks Brad
Please, can you give me an example?
Thank you very much

  • 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 ¦

    this is the XML
    The goal would be to transform this XML into an internal table. Any idea is appreciated.

    Your XML is strange, it looks like a mix of pdf form content (xfa) and identity transformation (asx).
    Could you explain more ?
    Anyway, I tried to find out the errors (not only cx_st_match_element, that was just a catch missing), it works with the following program. Here are the main issues I have found :
    - always catch exception class cx_st_error when you use simple transformations (it contains cx_st_match_element and all other simple transformation exceptions)
    - xml "asx:abap" and "asx:values" in your input XML are useless, they are only used by identity transformation ("ID"); you may keep them if you want, but I advise you to see why they are in the xml !
    - Use same case in your tags (if xml contains  in the transformation so that it corresponds to the input XML
    - I renamed all abap names with prefix ABAP_ so that to clearly differentiate xml tags and abap field names (so that it is more easy to understand, for every sdn reader; I hope it will help as I didn't find many threads in the forum).

  • Simple Transformation with very long XML element names

    I am trying to write a program to deserialize XML documents using the Simple Transformation technique.  There are many optional elements in the XML document, so I need to have conditional statements statements to avoid trying to process elements that are not in the document.  The XML document, however, has several Element Names that are greater than 30 characters in length.  The Simple Transformation technique seems to require ABAP data dictionary structures that mirror the schema of the XML document.  But one cannot create structure component names that are greater than 30 characters in length.  We don't have any control over the XML schema as the XML documents come from the US government.  The ST fragment below shows the statement that I want to write, but since the ABAP Structure PlasticCardInformationGroup cannot have a component AuthorizationResponseInformation, the ST syntax checker yields an "Illegal Reference ADDITIONALPLASTICCARDINFORMATION" error message.
    Does anyone know a way to avoid this error?
    <tt:d-cond check="exist(TRS_TradingPartner_Agreement.TRS_FinancialTransaction.PlasticCardInformationGroup.AdditionalPlasticCardInformation)">

  • 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="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.

    My requirement is to read the above data from an URL and push it into an internal table.
    For this I'm trying to use Simple transformations but I'm facing difficulty in doing this.
    Can you pl. guide me how to create the transformation and the corresponding code for this.

    Here..... <SKILL></SKILL>   <PROFICIENCY></PROFICIENCY>  can be more than 1 entry...
    For this I have created a simple transformation like below..
    I have used the tcode 'XSLT_TOOL '..
    In SE11 I have created a Table type 'ZCOMPETENCIES' which is having  a line type 'ZLANGS'.
    ZLANGS is a structure which has another structure called 'ZCOMPETENCY' and this 'ZCOMPETENCY' is having fields
    SKILL & PROFICIENCY.
    I have used the wizard button which u can find  'XSLT_TOOL '.. and provided the table type ZCOMPETENCIES'  and it has automatically created the following transformation...
    <?sap.transform simple?>

  • Optional XML fields in Simple transformations (ST)

    Hi, I am using Simple Transformation (ST) to convert an XML file into ABAP data. In my XML file some XML tags are optional: sometimes they are available in the file, sometimes they are not. I can not find out how to define a ST for this.
    Either the XML fields are in the ST definition and then these field should also be in the XML file or
    the XML fields are not in the ST definition and then these fields are not allowed in the XML.
    Regards jack

    Hi Jack, please find some sample coding below that will solve your issue:
    <tt:cond check="not-initial(ref('E1EDL20.INCO1'))">
      <INCO1 tt:value-ref="E1EDL20.INCO1"/>
    </tt:cond>
    With the simple transformation tt cond statment you can make an XML tag optional. In below example during deserialisation xml tag <INCO1> will be skipped when not availabke in the xml and SAP data E1EDL20.INCO1 will not be filled by the transformation.
    Regards. Please give points when usefull !

  • ABAP Simple Transformation - How to save XML to file with CL_FX_WRITER?

    Hello!
    When calling a Simple Transformation program for transformation from ABAP to XML, it is possible to specify RESULT XML rxml as a class reference variable of type CL_FX_WRITER, which points to an XML writer.
    How to handle CL_FX_WRITER in order to save XML to a file?
    Thanks and regards,
    Andrey

    Hallo Rainer!
    Many thanks. I have checked the profile parameter ztta/max_memreq_MB and it is set to 2048 MB in the development system. I hope, that won't be less on the client's machine. The only thing I did not clearly explained, is that I need to write XML data to the server. I am so sorry. Downloading to the local PC is very helpful for me also, but only for the test purposes.
    Regards,
    Andrey

  • Create xml tag dynamically within simple transformation

    Hi all together,
    I'm faceing the following problem:
    There is a internal table provided, consisting of name/value-pairs. Something like
    ls_struc-name = 'NAME1'.
    ls_struc-value = 'XYZ'.
    append ls_struc to lt_struc
    ls_struc-name = 'CITY1'.
    ls_struc-value = 'Munich'.
    append ls_struc to lt_struc
    and so on.
    I have to create this XML (with simple transformation):
    <NAME1>XYZ</NAME1>
    <CITY1>Munich</CITY1>
    Everythings works fine so far (tables, values etc.), but I have problems with creating the XML-Tag, e.g <NAME1> from "$line.name" within the transformation. I don't have any information about the data structure (therefore "call transaction id" does not work).
    Any hint is useful!!!
    Best regards,

  • Simple Transformation - ABAP 2 XML

    Dear all,
    Finally I was able to transform an internal table to xml using ST. The question is: Can I create different structured XML-files using the same (structured) internal table. Or is there some kind of a 1:1 relationship (between an ITAB structure + XML structure)?
    1) Data declaration
    TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_curr,
           tcurr  TYPE tcurr_curr,
           gdatu  TYPE gdatu_inv,
           ukurs  TYPE ukurs_curr.
    TYPES: END OF ty_curr.

    How can I achieve output example 1+2  using the same internal table as a source? Is this possible? I guess this can be solved within the transformation, right? Any help appreciated.
    Best regards
    Benno

    Thanks for all answers so far. Changing the sequence is not a "problem". What I want to achieve is to change hierarchy of the xml. I'll try to explain again with a simple example:
    ITAB (structure):
    name; birthday; ***; first name
    ITAB (content):
    Smith; 01.01.1970; M; Paul
    Smith; 01.01.1970; F; Stefanie
    Smith; 01.02.1980; F; Barbara
    White; 01.02.1980; M; Steve
    I want to pass the itab exactly the way it is (ok, sorting is allowed). Question: Can I achieve the following XML's using ST? I guess/hope this can be solved with variables/groups/condition statements within the transformation coding?
    Example xml- 1) Sorted/Grouped by Name/***
    <person>
                    <name>Smith
                                 <***>M    
                                       <birthday>01.01.1970</birthday><first name>Paul</first name>                            
                                 </***>
                                 <***>F 
                                       <birthday>01.01.1970</birthday><first name>Stefanie</first name>   
                                       <birthday>01.02.1980</birthday><first name>Barbara</first name>                                  
                                 </***>
                    </name>
                    <name>White
                                 <***>M    
                                       <birthday>01.02.1980</birthday><first name>Steve</first name>                            
                                 </***>
                    </name>
    </person>
    Exampe xml-2 ) Sorted/Grouped by Birthday (Names only)
    <person>
                    <birthday>01.01.1970
                                 <first name>Paul</first name>
                                 <first name>Stefanie</first name>                                 
                    </birthday>
                    <birthday>01.02.1980
                                 <first name>Barbara</first name>

  • 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>

                  <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.

  • Simple Transformation from ABAP to XML and back

    Hi experts,
    Can anyone provide me a simple example of a 'simple transformation' that will convert and internal table with more than one column into XML via a simple transformation.
    I've spend days now reading SAP help and e-learning examples, but this just won't work and I am getting short dumps saying 'The goal was to access variable "ROOT". However, this access was notv possible.'
    Here is my ABAP:
    data: begin of struc,
               counter type i,
               aname type string,
               aname2 type string,
          end of struc.
    data: cnt_c type c.
    data: itab like table of struc with HEADER LINE,
          xml_string type xstring.
    do 3 times.
         move sy-index to: itab-counter, cnt_c.
         concatenate 'nameA' cnt_c into itab-aname.
         concatenate 'nameB' cnt_c into itab-aname2.
         append itab.
    enddo.
    CALL TRANSFORMATION Z_ST_TEST5
           SOURCE  ROOT = itab
           RESULT XML xml_string.
    CALL FUNCTION 'DISPLAY_XML_STRING'
      EXPORTING
        XML_STRING            = xml_string.
    skip 1.
    and here is my ST:
    <?sap.transform simple?>
    <tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">
      <tt:root name="ROOT"/>
        <tt:template>
         <TABLE>
          <tt:loop ref=".ROOT" name="line">
            <ITEM>
              <counter>
                <tt:value ref="$line.aname" />
              </counter>
              <name>
                <tt:value ref="$line.aname" />
              </name>
              <name2>
                <tt:value ref="$line.aname2" />
              </name2>
            </ITEM>
          </tt:loop>
         </TABLE>
        </tt:template>
    </tt:transform>

    Figured it out. The interla tables used in teh call transformation statement can never have a header line.

  • 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 Motta

    Hi 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.

            col2 TYPE string,

          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 '&lt;'.
    *      REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '>' IN part2 WITH '&gt;'.
      xml_string = part1 && part2 && part3.
    ENDIF.
    TRY.
    * Display xml
        cl_abap_browser=>show_xml( EXPORTING xml_string = xml_string ).
    * Deserialization
        CALL TRANSFORMATION zmtest
          SOURCE XML xml_string
          RESULT para = result.
    * Check result
        WRITE:/ 'COL1=', result-col1,
              / 'COL2=', result-col2,
              / 'COL3=', result-col3.
      CATCH cx_st_error.

        MESSAGE 'Error in Simple Transformation'
                TYPE 'I' DISPLAY LIKE 'E'.
