Source Code

    DATA: oref TYPE REF TO serializable,
          xmlstr TYPE xstring.

    CREATE OBJECT oref.

    CALL TRANSFORMATION id
                        SOURCE object = oref
                        RESULT XML xmlstr.

    cl_demo_output=>display_xml( xmlstr ).

Description

The attributes of the object referenced by oref are mapped to subelements of the heap element. The association between the reference variables in the values element and the object in heap is made using an XML reference mechanism.
