# SAP Converter Modifier

**Applies to:** Lasernet Core 11

The SAP Converter modifier is used for converting SAPscript files, specifically RDI (Raw Data Interface) forms and XSF (XML for Smart Forms) files, into XML.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> In SAP environments, RDI stands for Raw Data Interface, an intermediate data format used to transmit print or document data.
> 
> XSF is an XML schema that extracts the raw textual contents of a form (such as a purchase order or invoice) without any layout details. It enables external applications to access and process form data.

## RDI Settings

| **Input Code Page** | This setting enables you to define the input code page to correctly retrieve and process extended characters. |
| --- | --- |
| **Merge multi-line include text into one element** | When this checkbox is selected, text lines are grouped into a single XML element in the output file. When it is cleared, the output file contains one XML element per line. |

## XSF Settings

| **Include section elements in output** | When this checkbox is selected, an additional `<section>` element is included in the XML output. This element contains an attribute whose name matches the corresponding section in the input document. In some XSF files, the `<section>` element can be used to distinguish between different parts of the dataset. When the checkbox is cleared, the `<section>` element is omitted from the XML output. |
