I don’t really like a processed XML object being serialized to string, worked over with text processing and being de-serialized back again
to remove an XML attribute…

Why not use the methods the way they are designed to be used:

DATA: lv_xml2 TYPE REF TO if_ixml_document.

lv_xml2 ?= ixml_factory-&gt;create_document( ).
CALL TRANSFORMATION ID
SOURCE data_node = t_t100
RESULT XML lv_xml2.
lv_xml2-&gt;set_version( " ).

Hello Rudolf,

I think I had tried to set the version by using the method SET_VERSION, but it sets the version of the XML document to blank, not the
version within the asx:abap node.

?xml version=””?
Due to this, the document wont open in excel.

I even tried to parse the nodes from XML and tried to use the SET_VERSION column, but it actually leaves the VERSION tag as is but
only replaces the value. Hence used the STRING and REplace.

Thanks, TOP

Hi Naimesh,

How do we give custom column headings in this?

Mohit

Hello Mohit,

I think using this ID transformation, it is not possible to change the column names. ID transformation is the identity transformation which
is used for copying the source documents to target and vice versa. So, there is no space for any change.

Thanks,
Naimesh Patel

Hi Naimesh,

Thanks for creating this post.

Is it possible to create an XML using a XML Schema file (.XSD) in SAP?
I have an XSD file which is according to the requirements of a Partner System, and I need to generate a XML file using this schema.

Thanks & Regards

Siddharth

Most simple way would be to generate classes an transformations as described here:

http://sapblog.rmtiwari.com/2012/10/power-of-core-using-xsd-for-xml.html

Then you can generate a valid xml tha fulfils the specification given.

Back to the other question:

Though it is not possible to change anything using the id transform (as Naimesh correctly stated),
you can of course write a simple xslt that does the job.

In this case you even could use ST (Simple Transformations)

As Rudolf said, we are playing processed XML. But when no other ways look helpful, this trick does the work..

Thanks Naimesh.. Exactly found what I needed today..

Raju.
