AL11 Directory length

Dear all,
Let say I have a work area with 6 fileds and each is of CHAR100 type. so if I completely populate the work area then, it will contain 600 characters.
Now, when I create a file in the AL11 Directory with the contents of the work area, it is showing only 512 characters in the AL11 directory. However, if we open the same file through Unix system and display it, it displays all the characters.
There is no truncation of data. But my requirement is to increase the limit from 512 characters to say 1024 or something like that, so that I can see all the characters in AL11 also.
Is that possible? if so how can I do that?
Thanks and Regards,
S.Dakshna Nagaratnam.

evem the display is not there also,once you download the files you will have all the data..
if particlulary you want to increase the size viewable in AL11 then contact the BASIS..

  • Write to excel file (into AL11 directory)

    Hi,
    I am able to loop an internal table and write to csv file in AL11 directory.
    But how to write to excel file instead of csv file. And how to format the excel file (for example, column B should be format to numeric and column E should format to date format), and are we able to put like red color on column C for example?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    You need to add the tab inbetween all the fields of internal table and upload to application server using
    OPEN DATASET
    TRANSFER
    CLOSE DATASET.
    to add the tab inbetween the fields..you can use this code....
    concatenete itb-field1 itab-field2......... into string seperated by CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.
    one exception whicle uploading data to the Application server you need to convert dec or currency field to char type otherwise it will give you short dump.

  • Add AL11 directory: what authorizations are required?

    We are on V5R3, SAP 4.70 x110.
    We are attempting to add a directory to AL11 using the instructions found in
    [SM69 access;
    We have been successful in adding the link (to a DIFFERENT partition via QFileSvr.400):
         /QFileSvr.400/System1/Directory1/INV810
    However, when clicking the link, we receive error message:
         "Wrong order of calls <- CALL opendir: Permission denied.(,,..)"
    In our SAP version , there is no help text for this error message; however, I am assuming that it is an authorization issue at the OS-level.
    What users and/or groups need to be added to the other (non-SAP) partition and what access do they need to each directory in the IFS?
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

  • AL11 Directory Parameter

    Hello Everybody,
    I feel like this question has either been answered and/or asked before, but I can't really find exactly what I'm looking for. The solutions that I did find didn't really match what I'm doing either.
    Basically, I have a directory parameter in AL11 DIR_PASSWORD Which real path is on the server E:\usr\...\passwords.
    As of now, I have the path hard-coded, but this can't stay like this. The idea is this system has to work on different application servers where the path is different, so using the directory parameter DIR_PASSWORD saves a lot of time. The path is obviously different on each application server.
    I've so far looked at transaction FILE but a logical path isn't what I'm looking for. I've also checked into multiple function modules such as file_get_name, eps2_get_directory_listing, eps_get_directory_listing, and rzl_read_dir_local. These are all ok, but the problem is that I have to use the hardcoded path, I can't use the directory parameter.
    Even after doing SQL traces and debugging I can't really find what I'm looking for either, and using google and SDN search just brings up these function modules which aren't really what I'm looking for either.
    Is there a way that I can use the directory parameter to point to a path of a folder on the application server without hard coding it? Or maybe a function module or so that'll make the conversion for me?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi Bryan, this is a difficult one ;).
    There seems to be no Function Module to retrieve these paths.
    If you check this link, you'll see that the Directories in AL11 are all hardcoded in the standard program.
    AL11 - table behind
    There is only one table, USER_DIR, that might contain some entries (those created by the user? I am not sure though). If this is correct, then you might want to create a new Directory (the same for all of the application servers) and then you can maintain it through this table.
    Regards,
    Ernesto.

  • Delete AL11 directory

    Hello,
    On SAP R/3 4.6c, I want to delete a directory from AL11. Not delete content but only remove logical link.
    Does anyone know how I can do this ?
    many thanks

    Hi,
    I've got half an answer, and while I've not been able to use it to delete a directory from AL11 I think the potential's there.
    In AL11 highlight a directory on the list and choose 'Configure'.  Now the fun starts, then next screen hasn't actually pulled through the line you selected, but it does have an option to delete on the menu.  So if you could fill the three fields with the right values you could potential delete a directory.
    Like I said, half an answer but hopefully it will set you in the right direction.
    Regards,
    Nick

  • File generated in AL11 directory

    Hi Experts,
    I have created a logical file path and assigned it to physical path in FILE transaction.
    I have also created logical file name and mapped it to Physical File name.
    The physical file name is "stock<YYYY><MM><DD>.csv" . But when I execute APD and the file is generated, it gets generated at different directory and the file name appears as "stock201".
    I dont know where it is getting wrong, but I think it is getting replaced with exact no. of characters in <FILENAME> parameter.
    The output file "stock201" is exactly 8 characters long as the the no. of characters in parameter <FILENAME>.
    Any suggestions to resolve the above problem.
    Regards,
    Hardik

    Hello Hardik,
    Can you please check that you have the coding correction applied from the SAP notes 1318160 and 1416830 if they are relevant for your release?  Although the note symptoms don't exactly describe your problem they are relevant for the issue.

  • AL11 Directory - File Save

    Hello Gurus,
    I have written SAP ABAP program which calls FM 'SAP_TO_CSV_CONVERT'
    to convert internal table data to .CSV Format.
    I use OPEN and CLOSE Dataset to place the File in AL11.
    Filepath/Filename is    '/usr/sap/trans/Credit Limit Interface for UK- File FTP
    Old files should not be replaced ,  but each time a new file has to be generated and placed in the folder when program is run
    to place file in AL11
    Please help me on this.
    Thanks
    Supreeth M S

    Hi,
    In your Program, use "Concatenate" Statement and concatenate the File name and current date time.
    Concatenate '/usr/sap/trans/Credit_Limit_Interface_for_uk_File_FTP' sy-datum sy-uzeit into GV_file_name.
    So the File name will be unique and will not be overwritten.

  • Extracting a csv file into a Z directory in AL11 via Open Hub

    Hi All,
    After reviewing alot of treads  I am able to etracte a .csv file via Open Hub Destination into DIR_HOME in AL11.
    But, My requirement is to create the file in AL11 directory "ZBIWCOPA" and this directory is available in all systems in the landscape.
    Kindly provide inputs on creating this file in this "Z" AL11 directory and precauious while transporting the Open Hub.
    Appreciate your suggestions

    I see where I went wrong in my answer, now that I'm able to actually logon (my apologies). In your case, you're going to have to create a Logical File Path and Logical File Name in tcode FILE.
    1) When you get into tcode FILE, click on the New Entries button.
    2) Enter a Logical File Path technical name and description.
    3) Click on Save.
    4) Back out of the screen, highlight the Logical File Path you created, double-click on the Assignment of Physical Paths to Logical Path on the left-navigation bar and click the New Entries button.
    5) Enter the OS compatibility you wish this path to have for the Syntax Group. In your case, you want to select the OS for the application servers that are going to be the landing zone for your file.
    6) Enter /ZBIWCOPA/ in the Phyiscal Path. Save the assignment.
    7) Go back to the main screen for tcode FILE and double-click on the Logical File Name Definition, Cross-Client selection on the left navigation bar.
    8) Click on the New Entries button.
    9) Enter the Logical File Name technical name, description in Name, Phyiscal File name (e.g. this is the actual name of the file to be sent to the landing zone), Data Format, Application Area, Logic File Path that you created and then Save.
    10) In your OHD, remove any server name and enter to the Logical File Name that you created in tcode FILE.

  • Problem in output file generation in AL11 tcode - need quick help

    Hi experts,
    Scenario:- Proxy to File ( file is generated in AL11 directory folder.
    Probelm:
    Last field value is generated with correct values in SXMB_MONI output payload, But when I open a file in AL11 the last field fiew value are getting trimmed. Also when I get the dump of file - file also has the same trimmed value.
    For example: Expected value in MONI is 12345 where as in AL11 i m getting 1234
    I have reduce the length of previous fields and run the scenario again - for this scenario all the values are coming in AL11 as well as in MONI.
    Is somthing to do with screen width length.

    HI ,
          Its a problem with File Transfer tcode sxda_tools and AL11 sometimes. Ask your Basis team to give you file contents from PI Server directly.  This file should have right contents as you expected.
    I also faced the same problem and wasted lot of time to solve it.
    Hence, check the folder where you dump this file on application server and give this path to basis to provide you this file from server.
