Gui_download Comma delimited

Is there a way to create a comma delimited file using the GUI_Download. Its keeps coming out tab delimited.
Thanks

Sure, just declare a flat structure in your program.
data: itab type table of string.
data: xtab type string.
Then fill this internal table with data from another internal concatenating the fields .
loop at ianother.
   concatenate ianother-fld1
               ianother-fld2
               ianother-fld3
               ianother-fld4
                      into xtab separated by ','
append xtab to itab.
endloop.
Now just pass ITAB to the GUI_DOWNLOAD function module.

Well if you want to spool query results to a file the first thing you need to do is write a query that actually works.
Why do you think a query like this is valid?
SELECT 'this, is, my, giant, string, of, columns, with, commas, in, between, each, word'
GROUP BY this, is, my, giant, stringYou only have one column in the result set but you are trying to group by three columns and none of them are even in the result set.
What's up with that?
You can only group by columns that are actually IN the result set.

SQL to match a single value in a field with comma-delimited text

I have a column that can contain none, one or many recordIDs
(from another table) stored as comma-delimited text strings (i.e.,
a list). I need to retrieve all records that match a single value
within that list.
For example, if I want to match all values that equal
recordID 3, and I use ... WHERE MyColumn IN ('3') ... , I will get
all records that have EXACTLY 3 as the value of MyColumn, but not
any MyColumn records whose values include 3, if they are instances
such as "3,17" or the like.
Also using the LIKE operator -- as WHERE MyColumn LIKE '%3%'
-- will get me unwanted records with values such as 35 or 13 ...
Can I use some sort of intervening ColdFusion list processing
to output only the desired records?

Import Format for Separte Debit and Credit Columns (comma delimited file)

I have a file that is comma delimited with a sparate debit column and a separate credit column:
Sample:
Ent,Acct,description,Dr,Cr
,1000,test,100,
,110010,another test,,100
My import format is this:
Comma delimited
Field Number Number of Fields Expression
Entity 1 5 SGB_ABC
Account 2 5
Amount 5 5 Script=DRCRSplit_Comma_Del.uss
I've tried writing the following script to pull the amount from the debit column into the credit column but it just skips the lines with no amount in field 5.
'Declare Variables
Dim Field4
Dim Field5
'Retrieve Data
Field4 = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strRecord, 4, 4, ",")
Field5 = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strRecord, 5, 5, ",")
'If Field4 has a value then fld 5 is to equal fld 4.
If IsNumeric(Field5) Then
Field5 = Field5
Else
Field5 = Field4
End If
'Return Result into FDM
SQFLD5 = Field5
End Function
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks!

I got it to work using this script:
Function DRCR_Comma_Del(strField, strRecord)
'Hyperion FDM DataPump Import Script:
'Created By: testuser
'Date Created: 7/22/2009 9:31:15 AM
'Purpose: If Amount is in the DR column move it to the CR amount column.
Dim DR
Dim CR
DR = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strRecord, 5, 4, ",")
CR = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strRecord, 5, 5, ",")
If IsNumeric(DR) Then
strField = DR
Else
strField = "-" & CR
End If
DRCR_Comma_Del = strField
End Function

SSIS importing comma delimited with double quote text qualifier - Works in VS - SQL Job ignores text qualifier and fails (truncation)

I've created an SSIS package to import a comma delimited file (csv) with double quotes for a text qualifier ("). Some of the fields contain the delimiter inside the qualified text. An example row is:
15,"Doe, John",IS2,Alabama
In SSIS I've specified the text qualifier as ". The sample output in the connection manager looks great. The package runs perfectly from VS and when manually executed on the SSIS server itself. The problem comes when I schedule the package to run via SQL
job. At this point the package ignores the text qualifier, and in doing so pushes half of a field into the next available column. But instead of having too many columns, it concatenates the last 2 columns ignoring the delimiter. For example (pipes are fields):
15|"Doe| John"|IS2,Alabama
So the failure happens when the last half of a field is too large to fit into the next available field. In the case above _John" is 6 characters where the IS2 field is char(3). This would cause a truncation failure, which is the error I receive from the
job history.
To further test this I created a failure flow in my data flow to capture the records failing to be pulled from the source csv. Out of ~5000 records, ~1200 are failing, and every one of the failures has a comma delimiter inside the quoted text with a 'split'
length greater than the next ordinal field. The ones without the comma were inserted as normal and records where the split fit into the next ordinal column where also imported, with the last field being concatenated w/delimiter. Example records when selected
from table:
25|"Allan Percone Trucking"|GI6|California --Imported as intended
36|"Renolds| J."|UI6,Colorado --Field position offset by 1 to right - Last field overloaded
To further ensure this is the problem, I changed the csv file and flat file connection manager to pipe delimited, and sure enough every record makes it in perfectly from the SQL job execution.
I've tried comma delimited on the following set ups. Each set up failed.

Since a lot of our data comes in via comma delimited flat files, I really need a fix for this. If not I'll have to rebuild all my files when I import them to use pipe delimiters instaed of commas. I'd like to avoid the extra processing overhead if possible.
Also, is this a known bug? If so can someone point me to the posting of said bug?
Edit: I can't ask the vendor to change the format to pipe delimited because it comes from a federal government site.

Just wanted to share my experience of this for anyone else since I wasted a morning on it today.
I encountered the same problem where I could run the package fine on my machine but when I deployed to a server and ran the package via dtexec, the " delimeter was being replaced with _x0022_ and columns all slurped up together and overflowing columns/truncating
data etc.
Since I didn't want to manually hack the DTS XML and can't install updates, the solution I used was to set an expression on the textdelimiter field of the flat file connection with the value "\"" (a double quote). That way, even if the one stored in XML
gets bodged somewhere along the way, it is overridden with the correct value at run time. The package works fine everywhere now.

Ssrs 2012 export to comma delimited (csv) file problem

In an ssrs 2012 report, I want to be able to export all the data to a csv (comma delimited) file that only contains the detailed row information. I do not want to export any rows that contain header data information.
Right now the export contains header row information and detail row information. The header row information exists for the PDF exports.
To have the header row not exist on CSV exports, I have tried the following options on the tablix with the header row information with no success:
1. = iif(Mid(Globals!RenderFormat.Name,1,5)<>"EXCEL",false,true),
2. = iif(Mid(Globals!RenderFormat.Name,1,3)="PDF",false,true),
3. The textboxes that contain the column headers, the dataelelementoutput=auto and
   the text boxes that contain the actual data, I set the dataelelementoutput=output.
Basically I need the tablix that contains the header information not to appear when the export is for a csv file.
However when the export is for the detail lines for the csv export, I need that tablix to show up.
Thus can you tell me and/or show me code on how to solve this problem?

Hi wendy,
Based on my research, the expression posted by Ione used to hide items only work well when render format is RPL or MHTML. Because only the two render format’s RenderFormat.IsInteractive is true.
In your scenario, you want to hide tablix header only when export the report to csv format. While CSV file uses the textbox name in detail section as the column name, not the table header when you view the table. So if we want to hide the header row of the
tablix, please refer to the steps below to enable the “NoHeader” setting in the RSReportserver.config file:
Please navigate to RSReportserver.config file: <drive:>\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS1111.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer \RSReportserver.config.
Backup the RSReportserver.config file before we modify it, open the RSReportserver.config file with Notepad format.
In the <Render> section, add the new code for the CSV extension like this:
    < Extension Name="CSV"   Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">
        <Configuration>
            <DeviceInfo>
               <NoHeader>True</NoHeader>
            </DeviceInfo>
        </Configuration>
    < /Extension>
Save the RSReportserver.config file.
For more information about CSV Device Information Settings, please see:

Using a comma-delimited string in Dynamic SQL

Hi --
If I receive a comma-delimited string as an in parameter, can I simply use that (in string format) when building my dynamic sql?
Thanks,
Christine

The problem is, that you can not use bind variables
here, only literals. This causes
eventual performance problems.And to avoid the inevitable database performance problems Dmytro mentions you can use a function to convert the string to a varray and select from that. This also avoids having to use dynamic sql.
First you create a varray and conversion function.
SQL> create or replace type tabstr_t as table of varchar2(255)
2 /
Type created.
SQL> create or replace function tabstr (
2      p_str in varchar2,
3      p_sep in varchar2 default ','
4      )
5 return tabstr_t
6 as
7      l_str long default p_str || p_sep;
8      l_tabstr tabstr_t := tabstr_t();
9 begin
10      while l_str is not null loop
11          l_tabstr.extend(1);
12          l_tabstr(l_tabstr.count) := rtrim(substr(
13                  l_str,1,instr(l_str,p_sep)),p_sep);
14          l_str := substr(l_str,instr(l_str,p_sep)+1);
15      end loop;
16      return l_tabstr;
17 end;
18 /
Function created.Then you can use these in either regular sql.

Passing data to different internal tables with different columns from a comma delimited file

Hi,
I have a program wherein we upload a comma delimited file and based on the region( we have drop down in the selection screen to pick the region). Based on the region, the data from the file is passed to internal table. For region A, we have 10 columns and for region B we have 9 columns.
There is a split statement (split at comma) used to break the data into different columns.
I need to add hard error messages if the no. of columns in the uploaded file are incorrect. For example, if the uploaded file is of type region A, then the uploaded file should be split into 10 columns. If the file contains lesser or more columns thenan error message should be added. Similar is the case with region B.
I do not want to remove the existing split statement(existing code). Is there a way I can exactly pass the data into the internal table accurately? I have gone through some posts where in they have made use of the method cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table by passing the field catalog. But I cannot use this as I have two different internal tables to be populated based on the region. Appreciate help on this.
Thanks,

Hi Abhishek,
I have no issues with the rows. I have a file with format like a1,b1,c1,d1,e1, the file should be uploaded and split at comma. So far its fine. After this, if the file is related to region A say Asia, then it should have 5 fields( as an example). So, all the 5 values a1,b1..e1 will be passed to 5 fields of itab1.
I also have region B( say Europe) whose file will have only 4 fields. So, file is of the form a2,b2,c2,d2. Again data is split at comma and passed to itab2.
If some one loads file related to Asia and the file has only 4 fields then the data would be incorrect. Similar is the case when someone tries to load Europe file with 5 fields related data. To avoid this, I want to validate the data uploaded. For this, I want to count the no. of fields (seperated by comma). If no. of fields is 5 then the file is related to Asia or if no. of fields is 4 then it is Europe file.
Well, the no. of commas is nothing but no. of fields - 1. If the file is of the form a1,b1..e1 then I can say like if no. of commas = 4 then it is File Asia.But I am not sure how to write a code for this.Please advise.
Thanks,

Wrapping A SqlBulkCopy Class To Export A Proper Comma Delimited Table

Hello!
If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated!
In my search, it seems SQL Server cannot export tables to a proper comma delimited format. I have not found a out of the box solution for SQL Server to properly escape commas and double quotes within fields on a record.
Which brings me here. I'm searching for a way to leverage the SqlBulkCopy class (or a alternative) to quickly export a record's values in a array or list so I can feed it into my custom DelimitedStringBuilder class.
So far it seems the out of the box SqlBulkCopy class only supports import into other tables and not a text file.
One thought (I have no idea how I would implement it) would be to attach a DataReader class to the SqlBulkCopy class and then pass the values from the DataReader to my DelimitedStringBuilder class.
Has anyone been able to write something like this? Or is there a simpler solution?

Have you tried just using SQL and ExecuteNonQuery? Below is an example:
Dim TextConnection As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & "C:\Documents and Settings\...\My Documents\My Database\Text" & ";" & _
"Extended Properties=""Text;HDR=NO;""")
TextConnection.Open()
'New table
Dim TextCommand As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand("SELECT * INTO [Orders#csv] FROM [Orders] IN '' [ODBC;Driver={SQL Server Native Client 11.0};Server=.\SQLExpress;Database=Northwind;Trusted_Connection=yes];", TextConnection)
TextCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
TextConnection.Close()

Thanks,

Hi Rob
   As far as i know, we can not upload data from
persentation server in background. For that the file
needs to be placed in application server and use Open dataset command.
Below is just an example to help you have a feel of the
same.
eg:
type: begin of t_data,
        vbeln like vbak-vblen,
        posnr like vbap-posnr,
        matnr like vbap-matnr,
        menge like vbap-menge,
      end of t_data.
data: it_data type standard table of t_data.
data: wa_data type t_data.
data: l_content(100) type c.
open dataset p_file for output in text mode.
if sy-subrc ne 0.
*** error reading file.
else.
    do.
      read dataset p_file into l_content.
      if sy-subrc ne 0.
         close dataset p_file.
         exit.
      else.
         split l_content at ',' into wa_data-vbeln
           wa_data-posnr wa_data-matnr wa_data-menge.
         append wa_data to it_data.
      endif
    enddo.
endif.
Hope this helps you.
Kind Regards

How to read and parse a comma delimited file? Help

Hi, does anyone know to read and parse a comma delimited file?
Should I use StreamTokenizer, StringTokenizer, or the oro RegEx packages?
What is the best?
I have a file that has several lines of data that is double-quoted and comma delimited like:
"asdfadsf", "asdfasdfasfd", "asdfasdfasdf", "asdfasdf"
"asdfadsf", "asdfasdfasfd", "asdfasdfasdf", "asdfasdf"
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,

Query a comma delimited list

Suppliers is a field containing a comma delimited list of
Supplier ID's.
When a supplier logs in they should be able to view all the
auctions that they have been registered for
i.e if their supplierID is in the suppliers field.
have tried this and get an error:
<CFQUERY NAME="GetAuctions"
DATASOURCE="#Application.Datasource#">
SELECT * FROM Auctions
WHERE '#Session.SupplierID#' IN 'Auctions.Suppliers'
</CFQUERY>
have tried this and recordcount is 0 when it should be 3:
<CFQUERY NAME="GetAuctions"
DATASOURCE="#Application.Datasource#">
SELECT * FROM Auctions
WHERE '#Session.SupplierID#' LIKE 'Auctions.Suppliers'
</CFQUERY>

You should avoid having a list value in a field and normalise
your table. But if you want to stick with your style(which is not
advisable), maybe you can do this. I believe your supplier id is a
string so the code below may cause slowness in your system:
<CFQUERY NAME="GetAuctions1"
DATASOURCE="#Application.Datasource#">
SELECT Suppliers FROM Auctions
</CFQUERY>
<cfoutput query="GetAuctions1">
<CFQUERY NAME="GetAuctions2"
DATASOURCE="#Application.Datasource#">
SELECT * FROM Auctions
WHERE '#Session.SupplierID#' IN(<cfqueryparam
values="#Suppliers#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" list="Yes">)
</CFQUERY>
</cfoutput>
But if your supplier id is a numeric value. then you can do
this:
<CFQUERY NAME="GetAuctions"
DATASOURCE="#Application.Datasource#">
SELECT A1.* FROM Auctions A1
WHERE #Session.SupplierID# IN(SELECT A2.Suppliers FROM
Auctions A2 WHERE A2.your_primary_key_for_table_Auctions =
A1.your_primary_key_for_table_Auctions)
</CFQUERY>

Creating a comma delimited flat file

Hi,
I am trying to create comma delimited flat files from oracle large Oracle 8.0.6 tables. What is the best method? It seems like using the spool command is very inefficiant. Can sqldr be used?

Todd,
This looks very helpful -- thanks! I need to unload very large tables and this should do the trick.
