Setting the content type inside the ABAP mapping.

[Former Member]

Hello All,

Can any one help me by telling me how to set the content-type inside ABAP mapping. I have searched a large no of blogs and help.sap.com for the same.

My requirement is I want to change the MIME type of the Main Document in side SXMB_MONI so that can change the content type of Main document which is application\xml by default.

I would appreciate an early response regarding the same.

Hello Raj,

The output of my ABAP mapping is a flat file. So when I try to open the file with content type application/xml in the message monitor it shows the file has some error which is natural. The way to get around this problem is change the content type to application\txt from application\xml.

I am not finding an option to set the content type inside the ABAP mapping for the same.

Abinash,

So ur receiver is File adapter, right? I believe its not possible thru mapping. In the reciever adapter there is option of chosing file-content as text, u can try that.

The conversions need to be done at the Adapter level, not at the mapping level. If i'm not wrong!!!!

Best regards,

Problem resolved by using param->set(

name = IF_MAPPING_PARAM=>CONTENT_TYPE

value = 'text/plain').
