Formatting when using gui_download

Hi All,
I am using method gui_download to download data containing korean characters to .txt file. If i dont mentioned codepage in gui_download, korean characters appears as # but formatting is ok. When i mentioned codepages korean characters appear fine but some extra spaces get added and that is why column looks zigzag. Is there any other way to mention codepage. how to get proper formatting of the column.
My code is as foolowing:

Hi,
You may try passing REFERENCE TABLE & REFERNCE FIELD in the FIELDCATALOG of ALV, if its an ALV output.
Export to LOCAL file of ALV will then provide an excel file with proper alignment.
Best regards,

    pls let me know when we want the data in *.txt format in the desktop from the table (like MARA)....which function we use....and when placing in to presentation server which function we use.
    thanks.

    Hi
    GUI_DOWNLOAD is to download a file from SAP to Presentation Server.
    GUI_UPLOAD is to upload a file from Presentation Server to SAP.
    So if you need to transfer the data from SAP table to a file in your desktop you have to use GUI_DOWNLOAD:
    DATA: BEGIN OF T_MARA OCCURS 0,
      MATNR TYPE MATNR,
    END OF T_MARA.
    SELECT MATNR FROM MARA INTO T_MARA WHERE ....

  • How can I show only text edits and not text formatting when using print comments summary?

    Acrobat 9.3.0 for Mac.
    Here is the scenario: I used the Compare command to see the changes between 2 PDFs. The resulting file some edits are inserts and some are deletions. I want to print a comments summary only showing the text edits. In the Compare Option pane, I select Text and deselect Images, Annotations, Formatting, Headers/Footers, and Backgrounds. Now on the screen I see inserts are highlighted in blue and deletions are marked with sort of a caret and vertical bar symbol. So all looks good at this point. However, when I show the Comments List, I see addtional comments that indicate "Replace - The following text attributes were changed: fill color." Those comments do not appear in the page view unless I check the Formatting check box to show them. With Formatting unchecked, I print a comments summary and all of the "Replace - Fill Color" comments" appear on the resulting comments summary.
    I only want to show text edits, not text formatting changes. So questions are:
    1. Why, when the Formatting checkbox is unchecked, do the text formatting comments still appear in the comments list when they do not appear on the page display.
    2. How can I print only the text content edits and not show the text formatting changes when using Print Comments Summary.

    Hi,
    You can set ExecuteWithParams as default activity in the task flow then method activity to return total no of rows passing to Router activity if your method has value 0 then call Create insert operation else do directly to page.
    Following idea could be your task flow
    Execute With param (default) > SetCurrentRowWithKey > GetTotalNoOfRows (VOImpl Method)
    |
    v
    Router
    1. If pageFlowScope outcome is 0 then call CreateInsert > MyPage
    2. if pageFlowScope outcome > 0 then MyPage
    hope it helps,

  • Need to avoid header When using GUI_DOWNLOAD with file type "DBF"

    Hi ,
    I am downloading internal table to excel on the desktop using GUI_DOWNLOAD with file type "DBF".
    Internal table I use do not have any header.
    But I do see the header in the downloaded file.
    It displays 1 row as " F1  F2 F3..ETC" heading for each column.
    Is there any variable we need to set to suppress header.
    Thank you,
    Kumar

    Hello Dilip,
    I tried using GUI_DOWNLOAD with FILE TYPE as "DBF", and i see the problem as mentioned. My question to you is:
    1. Why do you need 'DBF' format?
    2. Is it required to save the file as '.CSV'? Can you not try to save in '.XLS' file?
    Plz revert back.

  • CONTROL_FLUSH_ERROR when using 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' Function Module in foreground

    Hi,
    I am using function module 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' in foreground mode with APPEND = 'X' ( I need to add infomration to file ).
    In most of the cases it works good but in some cases ( which I cannot isolate ) - I am getting CONTROL_FLUSH_ERROR exception. Do you have any ideas where can be the problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Anna

    You will get "CONTROL_FLUSH_ERROR " error when there is some problem with SAP GUI. Check your Gui installation and if possible uninstall the exixting GUI and reinstall the new GUI from fresh.
    or you can use the below code
    CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download

                                             filename     = 'c:tempflights.xml'

  • WEBI Time format when using Universe

    Hi,
    I have a WEBI report built on a universe that uses a BW query as a datasource.
    In my BW report I have two time key figures of type DEC.
    Actual Time and Scheduled Time in format HH:MM:SS or -HH:MM:SS if it is a negative value. It works well in Bex.
    There is a Universe report built on top of this report and my WEBI report is built on the universe.
    When I run the WEBI report the time key figures display in the format 10,000 instead of 01:00:00. It is obviously doing some type of internal conversion and outputting the wrong result.
    Is there a way to convert the field in BO so that it outputs the same as Bw format?
    I have tried changing the universe format properties of the field from Number to Character and back again but it does not give me any different result and in some cases it displays as #DataType.
    Any suggestions welcome.
    BO Version 3.1
    BW Version 7.01
    Regards,
    John

    Hi
    you can able to change Actual Time and Scheduled Time according to your requirement using create custom display format in the Business layer.

  • Can text be formatted when using 'Append report text.vi'?

    The example that ships with LabVIEW 7 'Generate Report from Template (Word).vi' uses 'Append report text' to insert text into a word template via bookmarks.
    My question is can this text be formatted in any way (e.g. fontsize, fontcolor, ...)? It seems I can't format the bookmark and I can't format the transmitted text. It always appears in Normal Arial 12pt.
    Thanks!

    Thank you,
    this works well for formatting the whole report. I also found that the Word Format Text.vi placed directly behind the Append Report Text.vi changes the attributes for the previously inserted text at the bookmark.

  • Problem with expected formats when using Java

    Hi All,
    I am having an issue with some java code trying to run an insert or update function in a custom java app. The issue is appearing when I am using custom objects 1 and 3.
    I have created the java classes in Axis without any problems.
    In custom object 1:
    crmondemand.ws.tag.CustomObject1WS_CustomObject1InsertOrUpdate_Input tagList = new crmondemand.ws.tag.CustomObject1WS_CustomObject1InsertOrUpdate_Input();
    vLines = 20
    crmondemand.xml.tag.CustomObject1[] atag = new crmondemand.xml.tag.CustomObject1[vLines];
    for (int r=1; r < vLines; r++) {
    crmondemand.xml.tag.CustomObject1 vtag = new crmondemand.xml.tag.CustomObject1();
    vtag.setExternalSystemId(data[CurrentRow][0]); //tagId atag[r] = vtag;
    CurrentRow = CurrentRow+1;
    tagList.setListOfCustomObject1(atag);
    This works fine.
    In Custom Object 3:

    CurrentRow = CurrentRow+1;
    serviceList.setListOfCustomObject3(aservice);
    Does not work and gives me the following error:
    method setListOfCustomObject3 in class crmondemand.ws.service.CustomObject3WS_CustomObject3InsertOrUpdate_Input cannot be applied to given types;

  • PDF: Unable to print a document as PDF from APEX when using the BI Publishe

    Hi,
    From an APEX application, I am unable to print a document in a PDF format when using the Oracle BI Publisher.\
    Here is the configuration:
    1) Server A is W2K3 and hosts the Oracle BI Publisher server, with IP address ip01.
    2) Server B is a OEL5.2 and hosts the database server of the APEX application, with IP address ip02.
    3) Machine C is a W7 desktop from which through an URL both the APEX applicationn and the BI server are accessed, with IP address ip03.
    4) The APEX application is configured with the following to use the Oracle BI Publisher:
    - Printer server: Advanced (requires Oracle BI Publisher)
    - Printer server protocol: HTTP
    - Printer server host address: ip01
    - Printer server port: 9704
    - Printer server script: /xmlpserver/convert
    - Network services are enabled (at least I did get any warning/error message)
    From C, I access the the APEX application through its URL, if I try to download a page by selecting PDF in the download section of the interative report section for that page, I am unable to open if and get the error:
    <file>. pdf file can not be opened because the file type is not supported or because it is damaged (because, for example as an e-mail attachment is not sent and correctly decoded)
    Yet, still from C, I am able to open any other PDF document.
    The same way, still from C, acessing the APEX application through its URL, I have a query report defined with a PDF output format. Then, when I test the report (Test Report in the Report query) for that query, I get the error:
    ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL specified is incorrect or a proxy URL needs to be specified.
    At first sight this could be a wong entry in the priinter configuration for APEX. But with this address, through the URL I can log in to the Oracle BI Publisher server.
    Does someone has an idea what the problem could be?
    Thanks for any tips.

    How are you trying to print to pdf?
    Don't go via PostScript or Acrobat Distiller, which are old deprecated technology.
    You use:
    Menu > File > Print > PDF (button bottom left) > Save as PDF…

  • I have noticed that when using Tigers Dosk utility to ERASE a flash drive I have a choice of FAT but not FAT32.  It seems that flash drives formatted as FAT do not work properly when trying to copy files from a Windows machine.  Why?

    I have noticed that when using Tigers disk utility to format an external USB flash drive I only have the choice of FAT ( when formatting for use on a Windows machine ) and not FAT32.   I have found that USB FLASH drives formatted as FAT do not always work on Windows machines.  Why?  How can I use Tiger to format for FAT32?

    I think it depends on the size of the Flash Drive as to whether it uses FAT16 or FAT32.
    Can you format it FAT32 on the PC?

  • Export data in ANSI format using GUI_DOWNLOAD

    Hi,
    Please find below the issue description.
    We have a program that exports txt file which inturn is uploaded in a 3rd party system.
    Before upgrade, we were getting the txt file in ANSI format. (The program uses GUI_DOWNLOAD without any code page and file type is ASC)
    After upgrading the system to ECC 6, the program was modified to consider the code page 4103. But the txt file is in Unicode Format. (file type used in GUI_DOWNLOAD is ASC). As the 3rd party system is accepts only ANSI format, we manually change the format in windows and then upload.
    Please suggest.
