Hi ,

for the conversion from IF_IXML_DOCUMENT to String I am using

/SLOAP/CL_CHART_UTIL- CONVERT_XMLOBJ_TO_STRING

The method has just some simple statements:

*** convert XML document to String

  lo_ixml = cl_ixml=>create( ).

*   Creating a stream factory
  lo_streamfactory = lo_ixml->create_stream_factory( ).
*   Connect sting variable to stream factory
  lo_ostream = lo_streamfactory->create_ostream_cstring( string = lv_xml ).

*   Rendering the document
  lo_renderer = lo_ixml->create_renderer( ostream  = lo_ostream
                                          document = io_xml_document ).

  lv_check = lo_renderer->render( ).

But I found that leading Blanks get lost.

I got a String which contains

<str name="value">                         100.00000</str>

This String will be converted to a IF_IXML_DOCUMENT to extract some values

After that the IF_IXML_DOCUMENT get re-converted with the methods mentioned above.

The the String looks:

<str name="value">100.00000</str>

Has anybody an idea ? Is this an error in SAP's standard methods? Or do I use the wrong methods?

Thanks, regards

Mario
