Append data into the file in application server

Hi Friends,
I have an issue where i have a job which has three different stepst for same program. If i run the job the program will create a file in the application server and append the other two steps in the same file without overwriting the file or creating a new file.
My problem is like its creating three different files in application server for that particular job since it has three steps . Its not appending into one particular file .
I am using the FM 'Z_INTERFACE_FILE_WRITE' where i have used the pi_append in the exportng parameter . ITs working when i specify the file in local system. It is appending correctly when i run the report normally to apppend into local system.
But when i schedule a job to append the file in application server its creating three different files.
Kindly help me if anyone is aware of this issue
Thanks in advance
Kishore

Hi,
Please use open dataset to write and append files.Please check the logic of Z FM which you are using .
To open and write into a file use
OPEN DATASET FNAME FOR OUTPUT.
To append data into existing file use
OPEN DATASET FNAME FOR APPENDING.
To write into file:
v_file = file path on application server
OPEN DATASET v_file FOR output.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
write:/ 'error opening file'.
ELSE.
TRANSFER data TO v_file.
ENDIF.
CLOSE DATASET v_file.
For appending :
OPEN DATASET v_file fOR APPENDING.(file is opened for appending data position is set to the end of the file).
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
You can check the mode in which you are reading the file
from application server that is
Open Dataset in Binary or Text Mode.

Problem while dowloading the file from Application Server

Dear Experts,
I am facing the Problem while downloading the file from Application server.
We done the automatic function while saving the invoice, this will create an idoc, and this idoc is written in the Application Server.
I am running the Transaction AL11 and select the record, and from menu --> List, i am downloading into TXT format.
But for some segments, the length is long, and so the last 3 to 4 fields values are not appearing in the File. Even though i am unable to view the values in the file before downloading. But i can view in IDOC.
Please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Srini

but our user will use the Txn. AL11 and they will download from there
Educate the user On a serious note, tell him this is not how data from app server should be downloaded. You can ask him to talk to the basis team to provide him access to the app server folder where the file is being stored.
I can set the Variant and put this in background, But always the file name will be change, Like we use Time stamp in the File name.
You can't automate this process by scheduling in BG mode. This is because the in BG mode you can't dwld the file to presentation server.
Hope i'm clear.

Hi Should,
          I think the below code should solve your problem as i also had a similar type of requirement and this was the code i had used in my program.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <FS> TYPE ANY.
DATA: L_FLINE TYPE STRING.
Open file for output
M_CHECK_SELSCR_FNMS O1 O.
LOOP AT I_TARGET.
Write records to file
    DO.
      ASSIGN COMPONENT SY-INDEX OF STRUCTURE I_TARGET TO <FS>.
      IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
        IF SY-INDEX EQ 1.
          MOVE <FS> TO L_FLINE.
        ELSEIF <FS> NE C_PIPE.
          CONCATENATE L_FLINE C_PIPE <FS> INTO L_FLINE.
        ELSE.
          CONCATENATE L_FLINE <FS> INTO L_FLINE.
        ENDIF.
      ELSE.
        TRANSFER L_FLINE TO W_SRVR_NM_O_O1.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
    ENDDO.
ENDLOOP.
Close file

Error in Reading the file from Application Server

Hi,
This Error is regarding one of my interface, the issue is that , the interface reads data from file in bunch suppose 100 records at a time , then processes those records and once finished go for next 100 records .
Noe the error is that , the process takes place till 500 records correctly but when it went to fetch for next 100 i.e fom 501 to 600 it selects only 501 to 583 .
this records has been processed successfully but the job finished there only
but the file contains 788 records
When the same file has been run in other server it ran successfully without such error .
Can you please suggest how to resolve the issue

Hi,
Try to manually download the file from application server using standard transactions, and than check how many records are you able to download from app. server.
I guess there might be something wrong with the format of 583rd record, which makes sap assume that the file has come to an end.
Hope this will help you.

FM to get the file from application server to presenatation server automati

Hi!
In my upload program I am egtting the error log file onmy application server directly. Is there a function module or a way that in my abap code I can mention to bring the file or transfer the file to the presentation server . As my program is been run in the back ground so I cannot directly get the file on the presenattion server, so I need to bring it back on teh presentation server back to see teh eror log.
I would like my program to do the transfer in background itself so that I can see the error log on a daily basis from my local file .
Thanks

SO , after reading all , I assume that there is no way in which when I run the background job and get a errro file on application server can be retrievd on my presenattion serevr during the background job run. I was thinking that theer might be a functionn module which will convert the application server file into presenttion server file during the program run in background and store it in the location provided.
I was trying to use FM CALL FUNCTION 'C13Z_APPL_TO_FRONT_END' and CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIVFILE_SERVER_TO_SERVER' but using teh first one asks for source file and destination file name during teh program run and as it runs in background it cannot be provided again and again and teh second one dosent seem to work.
Thanks

Problem with saving data in text file in Application server

Hello Experts,
I am trying to save a text file in application server.When I text file have less that 60000 (i.e 59999) records, it saves the file successfully, but if records in text file (saved in application server) is more than 60000 (i.e 60002), it creates a new file at the 60000th record with the continued records.
Can anyone please advise, why it is creating a new file if records are more that 60000. I tested it with 59000 records in my internal table and it is working fine. I have not given any restriction in my program to create a new file if records are more than 60000.
The logic I implemented is the following:
*Open file
open dataset g_accnt_file for output in text mode encoding utf-8.
if sy-subrc = 0.
    clear g_header_record.
*Building header record for Accounting Validation file
    concatenate gc_hdr_desc
                gc_filetype
                gc_sequence
                gc_idntf_refresh
                gc_cmpny_idntf
                gc_accnt_id
                sy-datum
                sy-uzeit
                gc_linde_group
                sy-sysid
                gc_not_used into g_header_record separated by
                                           gc_deliminator.
    transfer g_header_record to g_accnt_file.

Hi Pankaj,
Can u check the concatenate statement with one more data. Check the no of lines for a single file.
    concatenate gc_hdr_desc
                gc_filetype
                gc_sequence
                gc_idntf_refresh
                gc_cmpny_idntf
                gc_accnt_id
                sy-datum
                sy-uzeit
                gc_linde_group
                sy-sysid
                sy-subrc
                gc_not_used into g_header_record separated by
                                           gc_deliminator.

Not recognizing # while reading the file from application server

Hi
I am reading a file from application server. While reading into internal table with read statement the last field in each record is filling with hash symbol in the last digit. If I write any if condition with HASH symbol its not going inside the if condition, means its not recognizing as hash may be its internally treating as some other. I need to remove the hash from that field. How I can do that.
Thanks,
kishore

I faced exact situation. Yes, internally its treated as some other special character. What i did was, becuase hash symbol was always coming at the end...i created a dummy field in my internal table so that it will not interfere with my actual data. When i see the data in my internal table, the hash always falls in the last field (dummy) which i will ignore. I could not get solution to remove this hash so i adopted this approach and it worked!!
Hope it helps,
SKJ

Regarding uploading the file from Application Server

I am trying to upload a .csv file to Application Server through CG3Z tcode.
But i am getting dump ad below..
What happened?
    While a text was being converted from code page '4102' to '1100', one
    the following occurred:
    - an character was discovered that could not be represented in one of
    the two code pages;
    - the system established that this conversion is not supported.
    The running ABAP program, 'SAPLC13Z' had to be terminated, since the
    conversion could cause incorrect data to be generated.
    1 characters could not be represented (and thus could not converted).
    If 1 = 0, a second or a different error has occurred.
Please let me know..how can i resolve this??
Thanks
Priyanka

Check if your CSV file is UNICODE encoding.
If CG3Z steel not works you can check on OSS SUPPORT if a note solve your problem.
