EXPORTING
handle = hdl
fname = f_name "ProdDataFromCRM.xls.

* IMPORTING
* BLOB_LENGTH =
TABLES

DATA_ERROR = 3
OTHERS = 4
can any one help me out to get the exact data..
Really appreciate your quick response..
Thank You

Hi, if you really retrieve an excel file, you can not see the data in ABAP. You may see them in Excel. For this you may use
CALL METHOD document->open_document_from_table
of the interface i_oi_document_proxy for OLE objects. You can access the data with reference to the interface i_oi_spreadsheet.
Please check [Desktop Office Integration (BC-CI)|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCCIOFFI/BCCIOFFI.pdf] for details.
But, who knows, perhaps you want "And Now For Something Completely Different".

Hi Rakhi,
Use the below code to check if you have received the proper data.
call function 'FTP_SERVER_TO_R3' "Get data as character instead of BLOB
    exporting
      handle         = hdl
      fname          = docid
      character_mode = 'X'
    tables

If the data is incorrect, it is possible that you are in the wrong directory.
Use
call function 'FTP_COMMAND'
    exporting

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.

Reading a file from ftp server

Hi
I am able to put file on ftp server using ftp adapter.But same settings are not working while polling file on ftp.
Do i need to do some settings for get operation??

Hi,
Check the file permissions and for testing give all read/write/execute permissions to the file to be read from FTP. Also check the file modification date of the file.
Check for the logs at 2 places for any error messages:
- SOA server diagnostics logs
- FTP server logs
You can also enable the FINEST level of Adapter logs for adapters and see for the detailed errors in the diagnostic logs.
FMW Console > right click soa-infra > Logs > Log Configuration > expand oracle.soa > set Trace32 : FINEST for oracle.soa.adapter

I'm trying to download .xls(excel file data into an internal table using OPEN DATASET FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFUALT and read dataset for reading it).But in the read dataset syntax all stange values like **$#@&&& are getting uploaded???? I dont now why......
Is it happing because i'm trying to upload .XLS file ???
My coding is as follows...........
OPEN DATASET p_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
    IF sy-subrc NE 0.
      IF sy-batch IS INITIAL.
        MESSAGE i001(zz) WITH 'Error opening file for upload'.
        EXIT.
      ELSE.
        MESSAGE s001(zz) WITH 'Error opening file for upload'.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
*First Uploading the data into structure
    DO.
      READ DATASET p_file INTO l_wa_tab.   "My internal table work area
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
        APPEND l_wa_tab TO l_tab.
      ELSE.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
      ADD 1 TO count.
    ENDDO.
    CLOSE DATASET p_file.
Any solution for above problem.........

Hi,
Check whether path ur providing to the open data set stmt is correct or not in debugging mode.
* File upload to internal table from UNIX Directory
    IF NOT p_i1file IS INITIAL AND NOT p_path IS INITIAL.
      CONCATENATE p_path p_i1file INTO v_file.
      CONDENSE v_file.
      OPEN DATASET v_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE MESSAGE v_msg.
      IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
        WRITE: / 'INPUT FILE CONTAINS NO RECORD :'(010), v_file.
        DO.
          CLEAR tbl_input.
          READ DATASET v_file INTO tbl_input.
          IF sy-subrc NE 0.
            EXIT.
          ELSE.
            APPEND tbl_input.
          ENDIF.
        ENDDO.
* Close Input File
        CLOSE DATASET v_file.
      ELSE.
        WRITE:/'Error uploading file: '(008),v_file.
        STOP.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
It should work.check the sy-subrc value and file value in debug mode.

How to get file from FTP Server using File Control

Hi,
Any one did getting file from FTP Server?
Please let me know any one help me.
I would need to get file from FTP Server.
Thanks,
Madhu

Yes I have done that. But In FTP Server I cannt read file, because no previliges. Only I need to copy file from FTP Server to local server then only I can read that file.
I tried all options using FileConrol(getFiles(),read()).
getFiles() - It wont copy the file, it give information about file.
read() - I dont have previliges to read the file.
Please tell me any other procedure would be there for getting file from FTPServer.

How to send a file from FTP to external server

My requirement is to send a file from FTP to D3(External) server.
Now I am able to store the file in Appln server.
I want to send the file created by the program thru FTP to D3 server.
I know the username,Password,HostID,RFC destination details.
How to send the file from FTP to D3.
If u have any program,Plz send it...
I dont want the function modules name...I want the example code ....
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sumi,
You could do it so that you create a .bat or .cmd script to your server which does your ftp transfer.
To do this you must use sm69 to create a external operating system command which you can call from FM SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE. To SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE you the file you need to transfer as a parameter.
What happens is that your abap program passes the file to windows batch script (.bat .cmd) which will then do the transfer for you.
Here's a sample of ftp-script for windows:
echo open IP_ADDRESS_TO_YOUR_SERVER > c:zftp_transfer.ftp
echo USERNAME>> c:zftp_transfer.ftp
echo PASSWORD>> c:zftp_transfer.ftp
echo put YOUR_FILE>> c:zftp_transfer.ftp
echo quit>> c:zftp_transfer.ftp
ftp -s:c:zftp_transfer.ftp
also take a look here for more details:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=96269
Ok, this might be a bit trivial but if your server is unix/aix etc.. Instead of using batch script you must do a shell script.

Ville

Download file from FTP Server to Application Server

Hi Friends,
Using the standard SAP Program RSFTP002, I was able to download the file to my local PC. But my requirement is to download the file from FTP to application server.
For RSFTP002, I am passing the username, password, host and in command 1 I am passing lcd :\temp, command 2 get filename. The file gets downloaded into c:\temp. If I do the same passing the app server path in command 1 as /usr/sap/tmp I get an error that pass cannot be found.
Anyone please help me how to donload the file from ftp to app server.
Thanks,
Deepthi

If I remember correctly the activation type on the technical settings tab must be set to "start on application server" in transaction SM59 for the RFC destination for the FTP server. This should allow the files to be transferred to/from the application server.

Steve.
