Hi ria,

1. I don't think there will be any direct way

to convert from Excel file to XML.

2. What can be done is that

the Excel file can be saved

as TAB DELIMITED file and the

data can be uploaded in to internal

table using GUI_UPLOAD.

3. then we can use TRANSFORMATION

functions to convert the data into xml

and save it as a file.

4 itab --- > xml

xml ---> itab.

5. This program will do both.

(just copy paste in new program)

6.

REPORT abc.

DATA : t001 LIKE TABLE OF t001 WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA : BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,

a(100) TYPE c,

END OF itab.

DATA: xml_out TYPE string .

DATA : BEGIN OF upl OCCURS 0,

f(255) TYPE c,

END OF upl.

Hi Ria,

1. You will have to first get your data from EXCEL to Internal Table. Refer the code below.

REPORT zexceltabc.

PARAMETERS: filename LIKE rlgrap-filename,

begcol TYPE i DEFAULT 1 NO-DISPLAY,

begrow TYPE i DEFAULT 1 NO-DISPLAY,

endcol TYPE i DEFAULT 100 NO-DISPLAY,

endrow TYPE i DEFAULT 32000 NO-DISPLAY.

PARAMETERS: kzheader AS CHECKBOX.

DATA: BEGIN OF intern OCCURS 0.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE alsmex_tabline.

DATA: END OF intern.

DATA: BEGIN OF intern1 OCCURS 0.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE alsmex_tabline.

DATA: END OF intern1.

DATA: BEGIN OF t_col OCCURS 0,

col LIKE alsmex_tabline-col,

size TYPE i.

DATA: END OF t_col.

DATA: zwlen TYPE i,

zwlines TYPE i.

its more dependant on your requirement.

you can both convert the excel file to xml or load the xml into a itab in row/column format and generate a xml out of it.

but the xmls in both the cases will be different.

for example.

excel to xml = the resulting xml will have all the properties of the excel file , e.g workbook details, sheet details, cell property

excel to itab to xml - in this case only the data will be available.

Why are you generating XML what do you want to do with the XML generated. If you could answer this then we can come up with a right solution for you.
