Fixed segments length in File using IDOCXmlToFlatConvertor module

Hi,
We need to create fixed length segments with 1063 characters each in flat file generated by the IDOCXmlToFlatConvertor module.
At presents the length of the segments is variable. I believe the module refers the IDO file in R3 system and generate segment lengths accordingly.
It there any approch by which we can create fixed length segments in the generated file.
Regards
Pravesh

Hi Pravesh,
could you please kindly provide a sample input and output.
If I have understood your requirements properly, we can achieve this in mapping itself,separate IDOCXmlToFlatConvertor module may not be required. In mapping we can count 1063 characters in each idoc segment and put it in target message. Then use receiver File content conversion to achieve this. Preferably java mapping will definately meet all requirements.
In case you need further clarification please let me know your source and target output.

New line for each segment for Inhouse files using bic mapping..!!

Hi ,
Idoc to File scenario.
In the receiver adapter, we need to convert the XML into file(Inhouse format) by using seeburger mapping.
We have generated the map for this in bic and used in Module configuration of receiver adapter.
Now the question is I need to get each segment of XML file into a separate line in the output file like below.
HDR ... ......
DTL .........
DTL ........
where HDR is the header and DTL is the details segments.
Iam getting the output in a single line like HDR.........DTL.........DTL.........
but not as expected like above .
I tried by using newLine = true in module configuration, but no use.
I digged into bic designer to search for any option , but no use.
Kindly suggest me if any one has any idea on this.
Thanks&Regards'
Deepthi.

Hi Deepthi,
    Did you find the solution, please let me now if you get.
did you mention the below code to solve the issue.
copy the below section in the NewMapping Program:
   SetDestinationDelimiter("SubElement", ">");
   SetDestinationDelimiter("Element", "~");
   SetDestinationDelimiter("Segment", "\n");

JPEG marker segment length error - file not corrupt

I have 2 workstations in my suite. Both Win7...both CS5.5 ver. 12.1.x64. My "old" box (Z400) can open the JPEG no problem....My "new" box (Z820) gives me the error.
I have copied the file a few different ways so I know it is not corrupt.
Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The error is "Could not complete your request because a JPEG marker segment length is too short (the file may be truncated to incomplete).
I'll try the preferences resetting.
Thanks for the quick responses.

Fixed record length with GUI_DOWNLOAD

Hi All,
In our current system we set global variables GLOBAL_FIXLEN_* by calling form SET_FIXLEN(SAPLGRAP). This allows us to create ASCII download files using function module WS_DOWNLOAD that have a fixed record length of 160 as required by the bank.
We are now going to a unicode system and WS_DOWNLOAD is being replaced by GUI_DOWNLOAD. How can I continue to create a fixed record length of 160 using this function module? I cannot find any similar GLOBAL_FIXLEN* variables in GUI_DOWNLOAD.
Thanks in advance for suggestions,
Kirsten

Hi,
Kirsten,
I find form "set_trail_blanks" also not available in GUI_DOWNLOAD.

Cannot process a Fixed Field Length file using the File Adapter (Sender)

Hi -
I have checked throughout these posts and blogs but I still have not been able to find a solution to my issue. When using the File Adapter (Sender) I get a Conversion initialization failed with "xml.keyfieldName", no value found. Why would I require a key field when I am using fixed field lenghts? The file is comprised of 2 structures - 1 header and multiple details (see below). There are no key fields in the flat file that I would be able to use. Any suggestions?

Hi,
you can use the module from which u can convert your structure to
H011000390 Customer Americas 20080605164317 000000000000000800000008000000000016000000

D12345678 100501 100501 Supplier 2 0000000000052000002008042100
Please note the extra H,D in the struture added by the module.
You can then use them as your key fieldValues.. The module should be deployed in Visual Admin and then can be used in the Module tab of your adapter CC
While writing the content conversion after that please dont forget about the added new characters
Please note also that i can find that the word supplier kept repeating in all the Dtachkp records
Please use that
Also if you feel that the field is of 13 characters and that would cause a problem dont worry... create a dummy field eg split tht 13 to two fields and use the common one as key field Value and identifier... as i see in ure case its like 500 Supplier , 502 Supplier . u can split the first 4 char and the remaing 9 char are key field value.
try this out

How to load unicode data files with fixed records lengths?

Hi!
To load unicode data files with fixed records lengths (in terms of charachters and not of bytes!) using SQL*Loader manually, I found two ways:
Alternative 1: one record per row
SQL*Loader control file example (without POSITION, since POSITION always refers to bytes!)<br>
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET UTF8
LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR
INFILE unicode.dat
INTO TABLE STG_UNICODE
TRUNCATE
A CHAR(2) ,
B CHAR(6) ,
C CHAR(2) ,
D CHAR(1) ,
E CHAR(4)
) Datafile:
001111112234444
01NormalDExZWEI
02ÄÜÖßêÊûÛxöööö
03ÄÜÖßêÊûÛxöööö
04üüüüüüÖÄxµôÔµ Alternative2: variable length records
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET UTF8
LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR
INFILE unicode_var.dat "VAR 4"
INTO TABLE STG_UNICODE
TRUNCATE
A CHAR(2) ,

E CHAR(4)
) Datafile:
001501NormalDExZWEI002702ÄÜÖßêÊûÛxöööö002604üuüüüüÖÄxµôÔµ Problems
Implementing these two alternatives in OWB, I encounter the following problems:
* How to specify LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR?
* How to suppress the POSITION definition?
* How to define a flat file with variable length and how to specify the number of bytes containing the length definition?
Or is there another way that can be implemented using OWB?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Carsten.

Hi Carsten
If you need to support the LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR clause in an external table then one option is to use the unbound external table and capture the access parameters manually. To create an unbound external table you can skip the selection of a base file in the external table wizard. Then when the external table is edited you will get an Access Parameters tab where you can define the parameters. In 11gR2 the File to Oracle external table can also add this clause via an option.

Issue in FCC paramenter in Fixed Filed Length file at reciver side

Hi,
I am doing IDOC to File interface. In that at receiver side I am sending file in Fixed Field Length Format.
Receiver File Message structure is as fallows.
Recordset
--Control
CTID
CTGUI
.... Control Fields
--Header
AHID
AHGUI
....Header Fields
--Detail
ADID
ADGUI
... Detail Fields
--Notes
INID
INGUI
...Notes Field
We want output File format in such a way that each Control, Header, Detail & Notes records should come on different line.
I am using following paramater in File Content conversion:
Recordset Structure* = Control,Header,Detail,Notes
Control.fieldFixedLengths = control field lengths
Header.fieldFixedLengths = header field lengths
Detail.fieldFixedLengths     = detail field lengths
Notes.fieldFixedLengths     = Notes field lengths
ignoreRecordsetName        = true
But the problem is I am getting all records in same line in file.
Any help on this issue will be appreciated.
Regards,
Prashant Kudtarkar

Hi Suraj,
You are right. When I open that file in notepad I am getting boxes at end of each record and all records are coming in same line but when I open that file in XL or wordpad I am getting each record on new line.
I am using following paramater in File Content conversion:
Recordset Structure* = Control,Header,Detail,Notes
Control.fieldFixedLengths = control field lengths
Header.fieldFixedLengths = header field lengths
Detail.fieldFixedLengths = detail field lengths
Notes.fieldFixedLengths = Notes field lengths
ignoreRecordsetName = true
Thanks and regards,

Download data to Fixed Length Text File

Can anyone share the sample code on how to download data into fixed length text file and place the file in the server directory?

One way i would advice is to declare a text variable and move values using offset.
Eg:
move: <struc>-fld1 to l_text(8),
<struc>-fld2 to l_text+8(3),
<struc>-fld3 to l_text+11(15).
transfer l_text to <file>.
Try this approch and see the result.
Kind Regards

How to create Fixed Length Flat File from Open Hub in BI 7.0

My requirement is to produce a Fixed length Flat file by Open Hub destination. My Open Hub has four fields. Now the requirement is to create another extra field in Open Hub which will contain all of the four fields value. In addition to that the fields should be fixed length that means if for any field no value is there and the field length/type is CHAR4 then 4 spaces should be there as the field value. SO, basically the Open Hub output will be single field which will contain information of four fields.
How to get this using End Routine of Transformation (from DSO to Open Hub) ?

Hi,
You can map the four input fields to the new field in the Open Hub, and change rule type to "Routine".
For example, if your source fields are called "first", "second", "third" and "forth", the ABAP routine could be similar to:
DATA: l_t_1 TYPE C LENGTH 4,
      l_t_2 TYPE C LENGTH 4,
      l_t_3 TYPE C LENGTH 4,
      l_t_4 TYPE C LENGTH 4.
IF source_fields-first IS INITIAL.
l_t_1 = '    '.
else.
MOVE source_fields-first TO l_t_1.
endif.
IF source_fields-second IS INITIAL.
l_t_2 = '    '.
else.
MOVE source_fields-second TO l_t_2.
endif.
IF source_fields-third IS INITIAL.
l_t_3 = '    '.
else.
MOVE source_fields-third TO l_t_3.
endif.
IF source_fields-forth IS INITIAL.
l_t_4 = '    '.
else.
MOVE source_fields-forth TO l_t_4.
endif.
CONCATENATE l_t_1 l_t_2 l_t_3 l_t_4 into result.
In the example, the program uses four blank spaces if any of the fields has no value.
Additionally, if non-initial values in input fields could be shorter than 4 characters (if the input fields have no fixed length), you could use STRLEN to evaluate if it is necessary to add blank spaces to complete the fixed length of 4.
I hope this helps you.
Regards,
Maximiliano

Conversion of fixed length flat files to oracle table

hello friends
Please help me getting the code for conversion of fixed length flat files to oracle table
Should the tables be pre-defined ?????
In this case the de-limiters are variable length spaces and not commas.Please help me with the same
Regards,
-Mahesh

You can use SQL*Loader to load fixed-width files into Oracle. Instructions on writing appropriate control files are in the Oracle Utilities manual
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/ch03.htm#1004687
You can also use external tables, assuming you're using 9i or later (the syntax for external table definitions is nearly identical to the syntax for SQL*Loader control files).
You'll need to create a table definition in Oracle. You can either create a "normal" table and use SQL*Loader to populate it or you can create an external table definition.

Configuring unicode charcterset for fixed length control file

Hi all,
we are setting our control file to support any language characters while data loading, we all set with our database configuration , need to configure our control file which is fixed length, we are using CHARACTERSET UTF8 and and also tried with CHARACTERSET AL32UTF16, its working fine for variable length control file but for fixed length the foriegn charecers like latin-I,greek, danish charactrers are taking more byte and affecting to next position data. and our data file is in UTF8 (not in regular ANSI formatt).
please advise
here is our control file example:
options (errors=999,SKIP=0)
Load DATA
CHARACTERSET UTF8
append
INTO TABLE TABLE_NAME
TRAILING NULLCOLS
field_name1 position(1:30) "trim(:fiels_name1)",
field_name2 position(247:306) "trim(:field_name2)",
)

I think you should move thread to: {forum:id=732}.

Fixed Length Flat File

I am working on creating a fixed length flat file with data from multiple files.
This flat file will have 4 different record formats.
My idea is to create a table for each one of these record formats, populate it in my PL/SQL program and utilize the [DUMP_CSV|http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:95212348059] procedure to then select from each of these tables. My idea is that if the record format changes it could be as simple as altering the table, and recompiling the program. Suggestions/comments on my approach?
Thanks

Use External Tables. By that you can even skip the PL/SQL code that you may need to write if you use normal table to load them.

Invalid segment length (LL) of [1804] in input object-Using J2C Connector

Hello,
I have been struggling with this issue for the past 1 week .I am using J2C Connector tools to generate beans that lets us to communicate to cobol programs.
In cobol code we have declared LL as like this.
05 LL PIC S9(4) COMP.
05 ZZ PIC XX.
Using J2C Connector tools for this cobol programs(input and output records) total 5 fils are generated. Those are
InputRecord.java,OutputRecord.java,
java beans:Interface1.java,Interface1Impl.java
Command Bean: RetrieveDetails.java.
Here on i am setting all screen values and IMS related stuff in inputrecord
and executing with this input on commandbean object,then we will get the output record contains all the output data.
Here the problem is when i am setting the LL value like this and executing i am getting the follwing error.
InputRecord inputRocord = InputRecord();
inputrecord.setL1((short) 1804);
RetrieveDetails commandBean= RetrieveDetails();
commandBean.set(inputrecord);
commandBean.execute();
javax.resource.ResourceException: ICO0024E: [email protected]ldInputMsg(Record)
error. Invalid segment length (LL) of 19200 in input object. [email protected](byte[):
And one more quetion is in set() method which type of parameter we can set?
what i think is , 1804 is total length of variables of cobol file.is it right or not?
Could anyone help me out this problem.Help would be greatly appreciated.Its very urgent..please.......
if you drop a mail also to [email protected] would be better.
Thanks in advance.
