Console: XML and List Preview Tool 

Use

You use the Console: XML and List Preview tool to display the XML stream that is created during a Simple Transformation or to display a list that is being generated during program execution, for example, by an ABAP WRITE statement.

To display the Console: XML and List Preview tool, open the New Tool dialog box and choose Console: XML and List Preview.

Integration

The Transformation tab of the tool is integrated with the Simple Transformation Debugger.

Features

The Console: XML and List Preview tool consists of the following tab pages:

Transformation

This tab page displays the XML stream, which is created by a Simple Transformation.

If no Simple Transformation was carried out the tab page contains a status message, otherwise it displays the XML output of the current transformation.

ABAP List

This tab page displays an unformatted, purely textual view of the current ABAP list being generated by the program.

If no list is available when the tool is opened, the system displays a status message.

The following information is available:

●      Number of Lines

The column contains the number of lines being generated to this point.

●      Maximum Line Length in Section

●      If a list is very wide, a column offset is specified in field From Offset so you can view the rightmost list columns.

●      Formatted Preview

If you choose this pushbutton, you can display the list in a fully formatted view, including colors, icons, and symbols.

The list is displayed in the application window. To pass control back to the Debugger, choose F8.
