ABAP XSLT Step by Step

Posted on May 13, 2010 at 07.25 PM - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Aside from using ABAP mapping, we can also create ABAP XSLT to be used in PI mapping. Following is the procedure:

Go to ABAP XSLT editor using transaction XSLT_TOOL or from context menu of SE80 More->Transformation.

In the source tab, we can code the transformation using ABAP XSLT.

Following is the example of ABAP XSLT:

* definition of XSLT

<xsl:transform version="1.0"

xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

xmlns:sap="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl"

xmlns:ns="http://bit460.com/xi/mappingXX"

xmlns:ns0="urn:education.com:BIT460:mapping" >

* call the template

<xsl:template match="ns:MtCustomerName">

<xsl:call-template name="temp_CustomerNameOut"/>

</xsl:template>

* transformation in the called template

<xsl:template name="temp_CustomerNameOut">

<ns0:MtName>

<xsl:value-of select="Name"/>

<xsl:text> </xsl:text>

<xsl:value-of select="Surname"/>

</ns0:MtName>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:transform>

Don't forget to make use of the ABAP XSLT mapping in the operation mapping and refer to this operation mapping in the interface determination
