Color in .CSV file

Hi,
How can we add color to header of .csv file which is to be sent to the unix server.
Currently iam using the following code:
open dataset l_direc for output in text mode encoding default.
if sy-subrc = 0.
    loop at ifile.
      transfer ifile to l_direc.
    endloop.
endif.
close dataset l_direc.
where the first record in the internal table 'ifile' is the header record.
Please send your suggestions,
Swapna.

How to add colors to a CSV file?

Hi there,
I'm exporting data to a CSV file using printWriter.
Question: is it possible to add colors, bold text or stretch the length of a column in the produced CSV file?
This, of course, should be the end result of the file (not do it when the file is open)
Thank you!

Question: is it possible to add colors, bold text or stretch the length of a column in the produced CSV file?Of course if you assumed that you'd be looking at the file with a fixed-width font, you could insert a bunch of tabs or spaces to get columns to match up, but I strongly advise you not do that. I think of CSV as a poor-man's excel data file or perhaps a flat database file, but most importantly it holds data in a standard format that can be read and manipulated by many different programs, including ones you write yourself. It is not meant to be for pretty visualization. Try to pretty it up and you possibly ruin it's main reason for existing. For nice visualization I'd create a small app that read the CSV, formatted it nicely and either displayed the data or stored it in some pretty format as a non-CSV file.

Import *.csv file in phonebook form All-in-One HP Color LaserJet 2840.

We use a HP all-in-one printer ; HP-Color LaserJet 2840. I should like to use the faxing option of this all-in-one for faxing large numbers of faxes. In other words ; batch-faxing or mailing-faxes.
It is possible to use the phonebook option in the faxing part of the software that is installed together with the printer-tools ( dirigent). To enter a large number of customers it is possible to use a *.csv file to import the entries to the phonebook. I have made the *.csv file exactly the way suggested in the instruction; It is possible to export the customer entries from programs like Lotes Notes , Outlook , or Outlook Express. So I export it to a *.csv file in a dos-format as well as a windows-format. But everytime when i try to import the file in the HP-phonebook i receive the mention ;
> "An error has occurred , ...No valid directory entries in this file. Select a file with valid directory entries."
Who can help me out this issue.? Every suggestion is possible.
Another question ; is it possible to use the faxing option of the all-in-one printer for sending large numbers of faxes ? May , someone has experience ?
Thanks in advance !

Drivers for the HP Color LaserJet 2800 Series are 16.4 and are included in 10.6.4.
Reset your printing system and see if your Mac can find the printer.

How to extract data from an arbitrary xml file and export in a nice csv file?

Hallo,
I'm facing big problems in the use of XML files. I have an
application which generates XML files with clusters containing arrays
and scalars like in the example pasted below. My task is to
read it and export the data in a human-friendly CSV document.
Since I don't know the actual content of the cluster, I need some kind
of intelligent vi which goes through the XML file looking for arrays
and other data structures in order to export them properly in the CSV
format (columns with headers).
Thank you

Go to Solution.

Thank you again,
I'm forwarding my vi draft with many comments and an xml file sample.
Data in cluster is stored according to the LabVIEW schema, infact it is generated by LabVIEW.
What I'm trying to do is to access the element of the cluster and read their content using the Invoke node and Property node functions. Could you give it a look, there may be something wrong, I'm not able to access cluster children.
Which funcions should I use? Could you give me an example? You may use the draft I enclosed...
Then write these data in a csv file
should be the easier part.

<p></p>First Name | Middle Name | Last Name
<p><span style="background-color: #FF0000">José</span> | # | Reema</p>
<p>Sam | # | Peter</p>
<p>Out put is coming like : (the last name is coming as blank )</p>
First Name | Middle Name | Last Name
<p><span style="background-color: #FF0000">Jos鬣</span> | Reema | <span style="background-color: #FF0000"> blank </span></p>

Query on formating CSV file.

Hi All,
According to my business logic i need to read data from DataBase and need to create CSV file to represent that data. I am able to create CSV file. But i want to format the cells of the CVS file. means like, i want to change the back groung color of a cell. Is it possible to do changes to the cells of CSV file through JAVA program?.
Regards,
Naga.

A CSV is, as definition, a comma separated values format.
It can contain only text and you cannot give any formatting definition, neither via Java nor via an editor.

Loading 361000 records at a time from csv file

Hi,
One of my collegue loaded 361000 records from one file file , how is this possible as excel accepts 65536 records in one file
and even in the infopackage the following are selected what does this mean
Data Separator   ;
Escape Sign      "
Separator for Thousands   .
Character Used for Decimal Point   ,
Pls let me know

hi Maya,
it just possible, other than ms-excel, we have editor like Textpad that support more 65k rows (and windows Notepad), the file may be generated by program or edited outside in excel, or newer version of excel is used, ms-excel 2007 support more 1 million rows.
e.g we have csv file
customer;product;quantity;revenue
a;x;"1.250,25";200
b;y;"5.5";300
data separator ;
- char/delimeter used to separate field, e.g
escape sign, e.g
- "1.250,25";200 then quantity = 1.250,25
separator for thousands = .
- 1.250,25 means one thousand two hundred ...
char used for decimal point
- - 1.250<b>,</b>25
check

Error while refreshing a report using local csv file

Hi,
I'm using BI 4.1 SP02.
While using Rich client, I've created a report with some merged queries, while one of the queries is a local CSV file - saved on AD in some server, and not on the repository inside BO.
While trying to refresh the report with the Rich client, it all went great.
Now, while using BI Launchpad java based app, I can't refresh the report - I get the following error:
"An Internal error occurred while calling 'processDPCommandsEx' API. (Error: ERR_WIS_30270) (WIS 30270)"
Should I be able to refresh a report without the Rich if it contains a local file (which is possible to EDIT only with rich) ?
If so, then did someone ran into this error?
Thank you,
Or.

First of all, thanks for both of the replies.
Second,
my problem is unlikely have to do something with permissions from one reasons -
when the report is using XLS\XLSX on same folder(with same name prefix) - the report is running without any problem.
Only problem is while refreshing without Rich while the source is network CSV file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Issue in conversion of output file from alv to csv file using GUI_DOWNLOAD

hi,
I am using GUI_DOWNLOAD to convert the internal table that am getting as the output of an alv into a csv(comma separated file) file.I am using the following code but its not generating a csv file instead it is generating a normal space delimited file.
The code is as follows:
data : lv_fname type string.
lv_fname = 'C:\Users\pratyusha_tripathi\Desktop\status8.csv'. " Provide the file path & file name with CSV extention
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
filename = lv_fname " File name including path, give CSV as extention of the file
FILETYPE = 'DAT'
WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR = '#' " Provide comma as separator
tables
data_tab = ITAB " Pass the Output internal table
FIELDNAMES =
EXCEPTIONS
OTHERS = 22
IF sy-subrc 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
Kindly let me know what changes can be made to make my code work.Also can GUI_download be used for batch processing and storing the output in application server?
Thanks ,
Pratyusha

Hi,
the short text description for WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR is "Separate Columns by Tabs in Case of ASCII Download", so why do you expect a comma?
Try SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT and then download.
And no, GUI_DOWNLOAD is only for download via SAP GUI to a users computer.
Best regards,
Oliver

Creation of CSV file on client machine with data from forms

Hi,
My requirement is to generate a CSV file(or .XLS) on the client machine ie local drive with the details shown in a form.
Oracle version -
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
CORE 11.1.0.7.0 Production
TNS for Solaris: Version 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.1.0.7.0 - Production.
I have searched the web for last couple of days and got to know that TEXT_IO is to be used to generate files on client machine. However, when I tried TEXT_IO, it was not able to generate the file on client rather it was able to generate on database server. After further browsing on this, there was a link which said that we need to use CLIENT_TEXT_IO to generate file on client side. For this, i was required to subclass the webutil.pll which i did and corrected the code to use CLIENT_TEXT_IO. The form was unable to compile and was not able to find "webutil_core" package.
I am very confused with the disparity in the information available on the web as in what to use to generate a file on client side. If anyone has use it in the past, can he/she please detail what to use to get things sorted.
Thanks,
R

So, what is your FORMS version. This is more important than your database version.
My requirement is to generate a CSV file(or .XLS) on the client machine ie local drive with the details shown in a form. Depending on your Forms version, you would use TEXT_IO (if Forms 6i running in Client/Server mode) or WebUtil (if Forms 9i or higher).
I'm going to guess that you are at least using Oracle Forms 9i since you stated that your attempt at using TEXT_IO produced a file on the DB server.
There is more to using WebUtil than just attaching the WEBUTIL.PLL. If you had performed a simple search of the Forms Help System would have found numerous WebUtil topics to include: Introduction to WebUtil, Configuring WebUtil, Using WebUtil in Your Applications and the WebUtil User's Guide. If you have Oracle Forms release 10g or higher, WebUtil is included when you installed Forms, however, you do need to configure your installation to use WebUtil and you must download the Java COM Bridge (jacob.jar) from Source Forge. Take a look at the Configuring WebUtil Forms Help topic to find out which version of the Java COM Bridge you will need to download.
After you have successfully configured WebUtil, take a look at the Using WebUtil in Your Applications topic to find out how to implement WebUtil in a form.
Searching the Internet for answers is great, but don't forget the look at the Forms Help System because the majority of your questions can be answered there. :)
Lastly, configuration of WebUtil is primarily done on your Application Server (AS). However, if you plan to perform preliminary runtime testing by running your Form from the Forms Builder, then you will configure your local runtime to support WebUtil as well as configure your AS. The steps are exactly the same. A common mis-step is to skip a step during the configuration because you don't think the step applies. Take a look at the Forms Help Runtime Setup Checklist topic for a list of step you need to complete in order to enable WebUtil.
Hope this helps,

Sender "Mail" adapter - CSV file attachment

Hi there
I'm looking for some help in configuring a sender mail adapter that receives ".csv" files. I did read some blogs that mention using the "PayloadSwapBean" module to read the mail attachment instead of the mail content. My problem is to now convert the ".csv" file into a message. Is there a module that I can use ( is it the "MessageTransfomBean" ) and how. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Salil

Hi Salil,
If you want to send a mail with a body and attachments, the message sender HAS to provide an XI message with attachments. I doubt a CSV file does justice.
As Renjith said you need to convert CSV to XmL.
A short description about the Standard Modules:
MessageTransformationBean is a standard module used to apply the XSLT mapping to the adapter module by using <i>Transform.class</i> ( This xslt mapping is done to create a mail package, Dont confuse with the actual mapping in your case this is NOT for converting csv to xml).
Also this module can be used to change the name and type of payloads by using <i>Transform.contentType</i>, <i>Transform.contentDisposition</i>, <i>Transform.contentDescription</i>.
PayloadSwapbean is a standard module for replacing payloads with other payloads (SWAP)
If you want to give each attachment a certain name use Parameters, <i>swap.keyname</i> for name of the payload and <i>swap.keyvalue</i>.
I Hope the use of standard modules is understood.
