Create Excel file in application server but the field value is incorrect

Hi Experts,
i am facing a problem when create excel file in application server using OPEN DATASET command.
the internal table have 4 field and one of those field contains 19 digit number --> ICCID.
the code running well, successfully create EXCELfile in application server but the problem is SAP only copy exactly first 15 digit numeric only and the rest became zero 0
Example :
the field value in internal table is 8962118800000447654 but when i opened in the excel file the value became 8962118800000440000.
and if i add alphabet like a8962118800000447654 then it is correct.
is there is anything wrong with my code?
here is my code
CONSTANTS: c_tab TYPE abap_char1 VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab. "Tab Char
Data : begin of lt_zdsdmmdt00005 occurs 0,
         SERNR (18) type c,
         MSISDNl(20) type c,
         BOX1 (20) type c,
         ICCID(30) type c,
       end of lt_zdsdmmdt00005.
data : ld_temp(100) type c.
i_file = '/usr/sap/DM/test_excel.xls'.
open dataset i_file for output in legacy text mode.
loop at lt_zdsdmmdt00005.
    move lt_zdsdmmdt00005-ICCID to ld_iccid .
    concatenate lt_zdsdmmdt00005-sernr lt_zdsdmmdt00005-MSISDN lt_zdsdmmdt00005-BOX1 ld_iccid
    into ld_temp separated by c_tab.
    transfer ld_temp to i_file.
endloop.
close dataset i_file.

Error while reading excel file from application server into internal table.

Hi experts,
My requirement is to read an excel file from application server into internal table.
Hence I have created an excel file fm_test_excel.xls in desktop and uploaded to app server using CG3Z tcode (as BIN file type).
Now in my program I have used :
OPEN DATASET v_filename FOR INPUT IN text mode encoding default.
DO.
READ DATASET v_filename INTO wa_tab.
The statement OPEN DATASET works fine but I get a dump (conversion code page error) at READ DATASET statement.
Error details:
A character set conversion is not possible.
At the conversion of a text from codepage '4110' to codepage '4103':
- a character was found that cannot be displayed in one of the two
codepages;
- or it was detected that this conversion is not supported
The running ABAP program 'Y_READ_FILE' had to be terminated as the conversion
would have produced incorrect data.
The number of characters that could not be displayed (and therefore not
be converted), is 445. If this number is 0, the second error case, as
mentioned above, has occurred.
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE', was not
caught and
therefore caused a runtime error.
The reason for the exception is:
Characters are always displayed in only a certain codepage. Many
codepages only define a limited set of characters. If a text from a
codepage should be converted into another codepage, and if this text
contains characters that are not defined in one of the two codepages, a
conversion error occurs.
Moreover, a conversion error can occur if one of the needed codepages
'4110' or '4103' is not known to the system.
If the conversion error occurred at read or write of screen, the file
name was '/usr/sap/read_files/fm_test_excel.xls'. (further information about
the file: "X 549 16896rw-rw----201105170908082011051707480320110517074803")
Also let me know whether this is the proper way of reading excel file from app server, if not please suggest an alternative .
Regards,
Karthik

Hi,
Try to use OPEN DATASET v_filename FOR INPUT IN BINARY mode encoding default. instead of OPEN DATASET v_filename FOR INPUT IN text mode encoding default.
As I think you are uploading the file in BIN format to Application server and trying to open text file.

Uploading Excel File in application server

Hi,
I am uploading data from internal table to excel file in application server.I am using Open dataset to put in appln server.(background job).But the problem is it is not sitting in different colums,all data goes to single column.I want every field in separate columns.Please suggest to proceed.

Hi,
save the internal table as a desktop file and then use CG3Z transaction to put the data from desktop to application server.
then to read the application file use the logic given below:
DATA: wa_file_data TYPE text4096,
lv_app_server_file TYPE string.
lv_app_server_file = pa_afile.
To read file from Application server
OPEN DATASET lv_app_server_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
DO.
    READ DATASET lv_app_server_file INTO wa_file_data.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
      APPEND wa_file_data TO gi_file_data.
    ELSE.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.
CLOSE DATASET lv_app_server_file.
DATA: lv_file_separator TYPE c.
lv_file_separator = cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
To upload file in other formats(CSV, Tab delimited etc)
CALL FUNCTION 'TEXT_CONVERT_TEX_TO_SAP'
    EXPORTING
      i_field_seperator    = lv_file_separator
      i_tab_raw_data       = gi_file_data
    TABLES
      i_tab_converted_data = gi_zhralcon_file
    EXCEPTIONS
      conversion_failed    = 1
      OTHERS               = 2.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
            WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ENDIF.
Hope it helps.

How to get the Output File Name as One of the Field Value From Payload

Hi All,
I want to get the Output file name as one of the Field value from payload.
Example:
Source XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_TEST xmlns:ns0="http://sample.com">
- <Header>
<NAME>Bopanna</NAME>
</Header>
</ns0:MT_TEST>
I want to get the Output file name as " Bopanna.xml"
Please suggest me on this.
Regards
Bopanna

Hi,
There are couple of links already available for this. Just for info see the below details,
The Output file name could be used from the field value of payload. For this you need to use the UDF DynamicFile name with below code,
// Description: Function to create dynamic Filename
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" , "FileName");
conf.put(key,a);
return "";
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" , "FileName");
conf.put(key,a);
return "";
With this udf map it with the MessageType as
(File Name field from Payload) > DynamicFileConfiguration>MTReceiver

OPEN DATASET create .txt file in application server

Hi,
I'm trying to create a .txt into application server. Code as follows:-
OPEN DATASET gv_filestatus FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    WRITE: 'File cannot be opened.'.
ENDIF.
LOOP AT gt_pdfstatus INTO gw_pdfstatus.
    TRANSFER gw_pdfstatus TO gv_filestatus.
ENDLOOP.
CLEAR gw_pdfstatus.
CLOSE DATASET gv_filestatus.
But I got the error "GW_PDFSTATUS" cannot be a table, a reference, a string, or contain any of these objects. GW_PDFSTATUS is a work area with 5 fields of different type. I know that I can transfer table type of TLINE but I'm not sure how to convert my internal table gt_pdfstatus as TLINE.
Please advise. Thanks.

When transfering data to a file, you should convert the data to type char and then transfer it to the file.
So, you would need to declare a structure with 5 fields of type c with the corresponding length of the original structure.
Then move the corresponding fields of work are gw_pdfstatus to the character type structure. And then transfer the new structure to the file (gv_filestatus in your case).
"for example if all the fields in the gw_pdfstatus are of lenght 10, then declare a structure as follows
data : begin of file_wa,
f1(10) type c,
f2(10) type c,
f3(10) type c,
f4(10) type c,
f5(10) type c,
end of file_wa.
OPEN DATASET gv_filestatus FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF sy-subrc 0.
    WRITE: 'File cannot be opened.'.
ENDIF.
LOOP AT gt_pdfstatus INTO gw_pdfstatus.
    move-corresponding gw_pdfstatus to file_wa. " Add this
    TRANSFER file_wa TO gv_filestatus.   " Change this line
ENDLOOP.
CLEAR gw_pdfstatus.
CLOSE DATASET gv_filestatus.
Hope this helps.

Simply use GUI_UPLOAD function to get data from excel, txt etc.., into internal table in program.
Try this program.. It performs downloading and uploading functions in both excel and .txt format.

Creating a file on application server that exceeds 10 Million charecters

Hello All,
We have custom IDocs which carry Strings of 1062 characters in each of their segments.
Now the requirement is to create a single string file out of these idocs data.
It is expected that each of these IDocs can go up to having more than 70,000 segments.
So, now when this is concatenated into one single string it can go upto 7 Million charecters.
My questions are:
1. Can we create a text file with so many charecters in a single line or is there any limitation for this ?
2. I have found a datatype CHAR30000, using which i'm currently concatnating around 30 segment data and then writing onto the file. Now once I wrote a single line, how can I set the pointer to End of line ?
3. Is there any limitation in ABAP to create such a long string text file using method mentioned above ?
Thanks for responding back!!

No, It should be something like below.. for writing the file onto application server , which aint working though...
*Writing output data into the file.
lw_endofline = 30000.
OPEN DATASET p_fileop FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
LOOP AT int_output INTO wa_output.
    TRANSFER wa_output-sdata TO p_fileop.
    "SET DATASET p_fileop POSITION lw_endofline.
    SET DATASET p_fileop POSITION lw_endofline.
    lw_endofline = lw_endofline + 30000.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET p_fileop.

Or use AUTHORITY_CHECK_DATASET function module before the open data set
This function module allow you to check the user's authorization to access files (with the key words OPEN DATASET, READ DATASET, TRANSFER and DELETE DATASET). A check should be performed before opening a file.
The authorization check is performed uwing the authorization object S_DATASET.
Description of function parameters:
PROGRAM: Name of the ABAP/4 program that contains the file access. If no program name is specified, the system assumes the current program.
ACTIVITY: Access type. The possible values are:
READ: Read file
WRITE: Change file
READ_WITH_FILTER: Read file with filter function
WRITE_WITH_FILTER: Change file with filter function
DELETE: Delete file
FILENAME: Name of accessed file
Example
Notes
The values to be passed as the ACTIVITY are defined as constants in the TYPE-POOL SABC.
