SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT for more than 2 lakh records

Hi All,
I am trying to uploadingfile to application server in .csv format.
Using this FM SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT,converting the itab values to .csv format.Then using open data set i am uploading the file to application server.
This logic works fine ,if number of records in internal table is very less.
if size is more i am getting a dump error 'No more storage space available for extending an internal table'.
Please suggest how to increase the size of this internal table.Please share the code .
type-pools:truxs
data:t_conv_data type truxs_t_text_data.

Thanks for all your replies.
Keshu,
The drawback of using 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE' in more than one stroke is the amount of looping tht needs to be done in order to get data into the my internal table. And my prog is not going to be run in background, so timeout problem is there.
Sekhar,
I cannot loop on TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP as this excel is a single file and there is no end row logic in that.
Karthik,
I think the new excel file .xlsx format is having the flexibility to put more than 65536 rows.

FM SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT - separator is wrong.

I am using FM SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT and I have the field separator as a comma but when the file is exported it has the separator as a semicolon. Does anybody have any ideas why this is happening? Below is my code and a portion of the exported document:
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT'
    EXPORTING
      i_field_seperator    = ','
    TABLES
      i_tab_sap_data       = it_table

      i_tab_converted_data = it_table_csv
    EXCEPTIONS
      conversion_failed    = 1
      OTHERS               = 2.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

Error using FM SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT

Good day everyone.
                I'm having problems with the FM SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT and to be honest I don't have the slightest idea why it prompts the run time error DBIF_RSQL_INVALID_RSQL.

Hope you guys could help me. What happens is that when I try to execute the program the run time error automatically comes out. Below is the reason of the error:
What happened?
Error in the ABAP Application Program
The current ABAP program "ZCD_DEPTED_LAYOUT" had to be terminated
    because it has come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be
    executed.
Please, please, please, hope you guys could help me. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Could you please tell me the number of records being fetched by your select statement?
If they are very large in number,then this short dump occurs.
Also, try reducing the number of fields being fetched in the Select statement and it might work because sometimes the size of the memory available to hold the data exceeds.
Also, try using "Into corresponding fields of" instead of into itab. in the Select statement.
In case you have any further clarifications,do let me know.

Issue in conversion of output file from alv to csv file using GUI_DOWNLOAD

hi,
I am using GUI_DOWNLOAD to convert the internal table that am getting as the output of an alv into a csv(comma separated file) file.I am using the following code but its not generating a csv file instead it is generating a normal space delimited file.
The code is as follows:
data : lv_fname type string.
lv_fname = 'C:\Users\pratyusha_tripathi\Desktop\status8.csv'. " Provide the file path & file name with CSV extention
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
filename = lv_fname " File name including path, give CSV as extention of the file
FILETYPE = 'DAT'
WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR = '#' " Provide comma as separator
tables
data_tab = ITAB " Pass the Output internal table
FIELDNAMES =
EXCEPTIONS
OTHERS = 22
IF sy-subrc 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
Kindly let me know what changes can be made to make my code work.Also can GUI_download be used for batch processing and storing the output in application server?
Thanks ,
Pratyusha

Hi,
the short text description for WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR is "Separate Columns by Tabs in Case of ASCII Download", so why do you expect a comma?
Try SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT and then download.
And no, GUI_DOWNLOAD is only for download via SAP GUI to a users computer.
Best regards,

Getting error while uploading data using the EXCEL( GUI_upload)

Dear Freinds,
I am uploading data from my excel sheet to my Custom table . I am using the below code
call function 'GUI_UPLOAD'
exporting
filename = l_fn
filetype = 'BIN' "'ASC'
has_field_separator = 'X'
tables
data_tab = p_i_ins_db
exceptions
others = 17.
i can see in my internal P_i_ins_db ...all the data is coming in encrypted format.
The flat given to me is the .CSV file .
Could any one please let me know how i can upload the data which is there in .csv file.
regards
syamala

Hi Syamala,
Before using the GUI_UPLOAD to upload the data from the excel file to the internal table,you can try usng the Function Module 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_TEX_FORMAT' or 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT' as it helps n formatting the data.
In case you have any further clarifications,do let me know.

Function module to convert an internal table to an tab delimited XL file

hi everyone
can anyone tell me the name of the function module which can convert the data in the internal table to an Excel file (Tab de-limited).
vamsi

Hello Vamsi
Just in case you need functions for the other way around (e.g. .csv-file -> internal table) SAP provides the following function modules:
- TEXT_CONVERT_CSV_TO_SAP
- SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT
This function group <b>TRUX </b>contains some more interesting function modules.

Issue with downloading in CSV Format

Hi SDN,
i used the FM's SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT - to convert 2 CSV Format and
                        GUI_DOWNLOAD - to download the data 2 presentation server.
i'm able 2 open the file in CSV format,but the data is displayed in single column only.
how 2 display in different columns ?
for example the ITAB contains empno, empname and designation.
I want it 2 display as :
   EMPNO      EMPNAME     DESIGNATION
     1                xxxxx              Developer
     2                 yyyy               TL
with tab delimiter.
now the values are displaying as:
EMPNO;EMPNAME;DESIGNATION
1;xxxx;Developer
2;yyyy;TL
pls suggest.
awaiting ur early response.
Regards,
Suman.

Hi Max,
the issue is when opening the CSV file.
all the contents are coming in a single column. for ex.,
                Col 1                                                 Col2          Col3
Row1      Heading1,Heading2,Heading3
Row2      a1,b1,c1
Row3      a2,b2,c2
Row4      a3,b3,c3
I'm not sure whether this format is correct ?
what I'm expecting is like the one below, with a tab delimiter.because after runing the ALV report when I export 2 Excel in CSV format it is displaying like this.
                    Col1                Col2               Col3
Row1          Heading1      Heading2          Heading3
Row2             a1                    b1                c1
Row3             a2                     b2               c2
Row4             a3                     b3                c3

Problem with gui_download

Hi,
in my gui_download function I'm passing the 'ASC' value to the parameter filetype but, once I go to the txt file downladed and I try to save it as a csv file I realise that it's of type UTF-8 and not an ASCII type.
Can anybody tell me why the file downloaded isn't of type ASCII?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Hi,
To save .txt file in .csv format. Follow the below mentioned ways , Hope will help you to solve .....
1) There are different ways in creating a CSV file. The RIGHT way is to use the function SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT. You can just go through the FM. To complete, for every convert fuction there is an equal and opposite convert function, TEXT_CONVERT_CSV_TO_SAP.
2) Use this [LINK|How to create .csv file from ABAP report; as well.

Download

hi all,
Before download using GUI_DOWNLOAD, im adding a comma between the fields of itab sothat GUI_DOWNLOAD can download use comma as delimiter. Now the problem is i have an amount field which has commas in it as thousand separator. So, GUI_DOWNLOAD takes this amount field as more than one field like for eg, 5,000 is downloaded into 2 columns like 5 and 000 as there is a comma in it.
How to change the delimeter of GUI_DOWNLOAD from comma to anyother, say $?

Separator problem in CSV file download

Hi All,
I am downloading the internal table data in CSV file format using the function modules SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT and GUI_DOWNLOAD.
In the FM SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT the default value for field separator is ;. But I want comma.
I am passing comma as a field separator but I am getting ; in my CSV file.
Please help.
Thanks in Advance.
- Neha.

Hi
It seems fm SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT doesn't use the parameter I_FIELD_SEPERATOR, but a the constant C_FIELD_SEPARATOR with value ;
So u should replace ; with comma after calling that fm or check a SAP note

Export Data To Fixed Length File

Hello,
I have a requirement to export a couple of files that need to be in a fixed length format.
I've tried opening the dataset and writing the records passing the column that the records should appear:
    WRITE /, field1, 10 field2, etc...
I've also tried to do it through SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT and the text version as well.
Is there a predefined function that will allow me to export as fixed length?
Thank you in advance

Hi Jeff,
Following is the code to do the same:
DATA: file TYPE string VALUE `flights.dat`,
      wa   TYPE spfli.
FIELD-SYMBOLS TYPE x.
OPEN DATASET file FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.
SELECT *
       FROM spfli
       INTO wa.
ASSIGN wa TO CASTING.
TRANSFER TO file.
* TRANSFER LENGTH 200 to file.
ENDSELECT.
CLOSE DATASET file.
