Delete xml version in xml file

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have a strange thing to do. I need to delete xml version tag (<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>) from en xml file. I use a receiver file adapter and I want to know how it's possible to delete this tag.

I need to do that as receiving application collects xml messages and adds xml version in collected xml file.

Thanks in advance,

Cédric

Hi Cedric,

you can do that with a ABAP mapping. Convert to string with function module ECATT_CONV_XSTRING_TO_STRING, replace your string with nothing (or split), convert back with ECATT_CONV_STRING_TO_XSTRING.

hi,

you can do it with XSLT:

<xsl:output method="html"/> should not create

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

hi Udo,

>>>and clever...

so it should be you who proposed it:)

BTW

I'm not sure if with XSLT you won't have to

do it in the commnication channel (and not in the interface mapping) - (the xslt mapping)

but I cannot test it right now
