CLIPBOARD_EXPORT method of CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES

Hello All,
I am using the CLIPBOARD_EXPORT method of CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES class to copy the content of the EXCEL sheet to the clipboard, which I later append in an Internal Table.
The problem I face is that the EXCEL sheet is very huge and while copying it's content to the clipboard; the clipboard runs out of space and hence only a truncated EXCEL sheet is read into the internal table.
Can someone please suggest some way of overcoming this issue of 'clipboard running out of space'.
Points will be rewarded.

Hi,
clip board depends on the desktop configuration on which you are working. Like if you have more RAM it will take more memory form that for more data .. From developer side we can do nothing....

CLIPBOARD_EXPORT from class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES and string table - sh

Hi Gurus,
I have a problem with this method. When I'm passin to it table of strings I'm getting short dump. Something about RFC and XML. In my opinion this is error in SAP coding, but maybe I'm wrong. Has anyone this kind of problems with this method? Maybe there is a note to it?

> @Sandra thank you, I know this will work
Then, next time, you will ask the question clearly, because it's not what we all have understood!
> but I still think that this short dump is an effect of error in SAP coding so my question remains.
No, as I said, all functions based on frontend / OLE always used the C type. When OLE was issued in release 3, the STRING type didn't exist (available since 4.6). As OLE worked very well with C type, they had no reason to spend time to make it work for other types (there is always a risk that there are new bugs, I don't see why it should be considered as a bad policy).
You may simply argue that the documentation is not complete (or even inexistent sometimes), that's all.
In your case, we see that the CLIPBOARD_EXPORT method documentation is incomplete:
DATA (exporting) Contains a table of the data to be copied to the clipboard.
SAP always worked like that, and we abapers, always had to guess and spend time how these API work. But that's not a big deal usually (as for this one).

Methods in cl_gui_frontend_services will break the progress indicator

Hi guys,
I have a list of directories of client to check if it exists.
I use cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_exist method.
And I want to show the progress indicator.
But the method directory_exist will break the indicator, show the status bar's message is like, flashing. appear, disappear, appear, disappear ...
You can use the codes below to see what happens and can take a comparsion when you comment the method directory_exist .
any suggestions?
thanks a lot.

Hi,
I'm not sure there is anything you can do about the flashing clock icon in this case. This may just be a limitation of the GUI.
Of course, you always have the option of using 0% as the percentage when calling SAPGUI_PROGRESS_INDICATOR. This will eliminate the clock from the progress display, leaving just the percentage number plus the '%' sign.
In other words, you can eliminate the annoying flickering by changing your function call to:
CALL FUNCTION 'SAPGUI_PROGRESS_INDICATOR'
    EXPORTING
      percentage = 0
      text       = a.

help me

Hi Gayatri,
Your requirmrnt is to upload the Excel file content to internal table.
GUI_UPLOAD is used to upload normal file content with extension .TXT or DAT
Excel is a Spared sheet file to upload the content from spread sheet the function module is ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE or you can use the CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>CLIPBOARD_IMPORT or cl_gui_frontend_services=>clipboard_export method.

Gui_upload (class method) problem

Hi friends,
I used the FM gui_upload to transfer a txt file. It works fine, but now i need to change to class method gui_upload. But my txt file have 8 blank space at end of each line. When i changed to class method gui_upload, theses spaces were deleted.
What i need to do to keep the final space??
Thanks in advance!

Use GUI_DOWNLOAD method of CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES and use parameter TRUNC_TRAILING_BLANKS_EOL parameter = space.
Best!

Preparing for upgrade and Unicode conversion while on 4.6c

We're currently on 4.6c and preparing to upgrade to ERP 2005 and do a Unicode conversion. I'm trying to compile a list of coding techniques that can used in 4.6c that will minimize changes needed for Unicode. Does anyone have such a list?
Some things I've discovered reading about Unicode include:
1) Use GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD rather than WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD.
2) Structures or table headers that contain non-character data need to be identical when moving, comparing, selecting into, updating from, etc. This includes not moving structures/tables with non-character data to a character field or vice-versa.
3) Offsets can't cross non-character data.
4) Assign statement with offset must specify a length.
5) Open dataset must specify "FOR INPUT", "FOR OUTPUT", "FOR APPENDING", or "FOR UPDATE". It no longer defaults to FOR INPUT when omitted.
6) Many implicit conversions from char to numeric are no longer allowed. Use explicit conversion instead; such as the move statement.
I know there are others. Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Mark Perrey

Add columns to EXCEL exported from ALV

Hi,
I'm using the function module REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY, to display an ALV report. This report shows a standard text when users click on one column.
I wanna know if its possible to add the standard text as a column into the EXCEL exported from this ALV? and if so, how can I do it?

ECC 6.0 bar chart short dump

We are starting an upgrade from 4.7(non-Unicode) to ECC 6.0(Unicode), using SAPgui for Windows (version 7.10). In our 4.7 systems, the graphical bar chart on the Project Planning Board (txn CJ2C) works as expected. However, in the 6.0 development system, before displaying the gantt chart, the system short dumps with CREATE_ERROR.
I have searched the forums and looked through OSS notes and was unable to find anything that described the problem or was pertinent to our release. I have debugged through the transaction and am finding that the short dump occurs in method cl_gui_barchart=>constructor around the following code:
at line 83 if the system is unicode (which it is), the code calls method cl_gui_frontend_services=>check_gui_support, exporting 'ganttcontrol'/'usedataasstream' and expecting a result in variable l_guisupp_data_as_string. When it returns from the check_gui_support method, l_guisupp_data_as_string is blank, so the next "if" statement raises an error that is not handled:
 if l_guisupp_data_as_string = abap_true.
 .....code not executed because the variable = abap_false.
 else.
 .....raise create_error. <<<<< this is where the dump occurs.
 endif.
Note that in the debugger, if I force l_guisupp_data_as_string to be = abap_true, the gantt chart/barchart displays as expected. (gotta love the debugger) But since it is standard SAP code I would prefer to resolve the problem without a modification and am hoping someone out there can point me in the right direction.
This short dump occurs with gui versions 710 and lower. (I personally am using sapgui version 710, patch level 7.) Has anyone had problems like this with the graphical elements in SAP or does anyone have a suggestion as to why the gui is not displaying the barchart correctly in our unicode system?
Sorry for the very long message, but thanks in advance for the help!

I just installed the latest patch on the SAPgui, so I am now running:
Release: 710 Final Release
File Version: 7100.2.8.1039
Build: 983952
Patch Level: 8
But I am still getting the short dump. I have done extensive searches of SAP Help, OSS notes, and this and other forums (even just looking up the problem on "google") but can't seem to find anything that applies to this scenario. I'm not very familiar with the methods in cl_gui_frontend_services, so if anyone can give me a pointer of where else I can look, I would greatly appreciate it!

HI ABAPers,
   I have a dynamic internal table which i created using CREATE DATA statement and i have put in data into it. I have to download that internal table data into a external file. As the internal table is dynamically created it will be dereferenced using a field symbol. In all the download function modules like gui_download ws_downlaod and method like CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_DOWNLOAD we can pass only the standarad table for downloading the data and not the table which is dereferenced by field-symbols. Kindly help.
Regards,
Kasi S

Hi Kasi,
As the great Max just said, the best way for you to download the dynamic internal table is via an intermediate table made up of characters.
Declare a table as under:
DATA: BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,
           FIELD TYPE char256,
          END OF itab.
Then transfer the contents of your field symbol to this internal table row by row.
Then you can download the table using CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_DOWNLOAD .

Chetan.

hi,
you have to capture the IP of terminal.
for caputing IP address,
Use the class method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GET_IP_ADDRESS
or
Use the FM : TERMINAL_ID_GET
DATA terminal LIKE USR41-TERMINAL.
CALL FUNCTION 'TERMINAL_ID_GET'
EXPORTING
USERNAME = SY-UNAME
IMPORTING
TERMINAL = terminal

You must OO ABAP.
You can use a method of CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES class to do the same process. This is the new class for handling files.

Reg: Interface - SAP payroll data to payroll system

I am downloading employee data from SAP to TAB delimited flat files.
For this , i am using logical databases PNP ,Info type P0002 and tables CATSDB.
In selection screen, i am getting the file name by using PARAMETRERS.
1.Then at selection-screen , I am calling a method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG for display a file open dialog .
then using GET , i am collecting the reocords into an internal table and then downloading using CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'.
MY DOUBTS ARE
1.this is an interface program,as the interface run, a log file should be produced.how to do this???
2.I am using CAll Method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG . is there an alternate function for this???
3.Give me more information on CAll Method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG and RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST ?????
4.Payroll data downloaded from SAP must be separated into different files depending on receiving payroll system and business unit. This is because the data file will be specific to payroll system and business unit. The file will however have the same format .
i.e.From : SAP SYSTEM
 To:various systems
 1.PBHR
 2.MICROPAY
 3.PAYFLEX
 4.UNIPAY
So what conditions i need to put???
Pl kindly reply imm

Jayasree,
1.this is an interface program,as the interface run, a log file should be produced.how to do this???
Generate a log in a internal table and use the method to download the data into a file. This will be your log file.
2. I am using CAll Method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG . is there an alternate function for this???
This will open a dialog where the user can choose which file needs to be read. This is the latest method that SAP has given, not sure why are you looking for alternatives.
3. Give me more information on CAll Method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG and RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST ?????
Sames as above.
4. The conditions you need to know probably from your functional consultants as to which data needs to go to which system.
