Use function module SMUM_XML_PARSE to parse XML document into a table structure.
Let us upload the below XML document that contains student information to student internal table.
Below code uploads the XML file to XML table using FM SMUM_XML_PARSE.
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------* *& Data Declaration *&---------------------------------------------------------------------* DATA: gcl_xml TYPE REF TO cl_xml_document. DATA: gv_subrc TYPE sy-subrc. DATA: gv_xml_string TYPE xstring. DATA: gv_size TYPE sytabix. DATA: gt_xml_data TYPE TABLE OF smum_xmltb. DATA: gwa_xml_data TYPE smum_xmltb.

CLEAR gwa_xml_data. ENDLOOP.
Output
In the above XML file, List is the root element. So the the hierarchy for List is 1. Student is child of List and hence the hierarchy of Student is 2 and so on.
Type is āAā for attributes, āVā for nodes with values and empty for all other nodes/elements.
Instead of just displaying the XML table data, the below program moves the XML table data to target student internal table and displays the student table data.
