Main Template 

An ST program must contain at least one declaration of a template:

 

<tt:template [name=“tmpl“]>
  ...
</tt:template>

 

. Each template of the transformation must be uniquely addressable. To achieve this, each template can be given a unique name, tmpl, using the name attribute and exactly one template without a name can be specified. The latter is implicitly the main template of the transformation if no template is specified in the root element, transform. Template names are not case-sensitive.

The contents of the main template (which can call subtemplates) represent the structure of the XML document to which the ABAP data is serialized or from which the data is deserialized.

The contents of a template can consist of literal XML elements and ST commands.
