Definition

The XML file is generated in Unicode format.

When forming tag names, characters that are not allowed are converted. The conversion to XML format is performed according to the rules for the display of ABAP data:

If the name of the IDoc types, extension, segment or field contains a namespace prefix, the namespace separators '/' in the tag names are replaced with '_-'.

Example:

For the field names '/PREFIX/FIELDNAME', the tag name '_-PREFIX_-FIELDNAME' is used.

If the name of a field, segment or IDoc type or extension leads to tag names that are not permitted for other reasons, an invalid character 'c' is replaced with '_--hex(c)', whereby hex(c) is the hexadecimal display of the character in ASCII.

Example:

The character '&' is replaced with '_--26'. Thus the name 'C&A' has the tag name 'C_--26A'.
