   could anyone help me with this??
points will rewarded generously,,,,
thanks in advance

Hi ,
Use this statement first
CONCATENATE
          "Give the field name which are to be displayed with , seperator
          INTO wa_final-string
         SEPARATED BY ',' .
INSERT wa_final
INTO i_final INDEX 1.
Pass this tabel in gui_download.

How to add a SPACE as suffix to the last field in the downloaded text file?

Hi Experts,
By using GUI_DOWNLOAD am saving the data(only 3 fields) in a text file on my desk top.

example current record1 : 010001 354.999 26.000
here, after 3rd field 26.000, immediately the cursor is jumping to next line in text file.
but, wanna a SINGLE SPACE after 26.000, say 26.000+space.
tried with CONCATENATE, OFFSETTING, but no use(may b am using incorrectly)
so, pls. suggect me, How to add a SPACE as suffix to the last field in the downloaded text file?
thanq

Sorry...Typo error...Too many in the last few days -:(
Wanted to say AFTER -:)
Do it like this...
FIELD1 TYPE XXX,
FIELD2 TYPE XXX,
FIELD3 TYPE XXX,
SPACE(1) TYPE C,
That way you should end with...
26.000+SPACE

Fetch data from text file to print

Dear All,
I am trying to fetch data from a text file in to Oracle database to print.
The problem I have is that I cannot gather data because this is a statement, generated by a report utility and the data consist of multiple dimensions.
First 3 fields of data are in the first 3 rows of a page and the rest is displayed column wise for the next 20 rows (5th row to 24th Row). Then there is a page break character ASCII (012) (Hex - 0C)then the next record starts.
Please give me a solution to fetch first 3 lines to one master table & the column of data to a detail table.
I konw I can fetch data using SQL Loader but the problem is how can I seperate multiple dimention data.
Sample
<page breake>
Code:123456
Name:1233445566
Address:aaaaaaaaaaaaa
Detail1 Detail2 Detail3
======= ======= =======
AAAAAAA BBBBBBB CCCCCCC
AAAAAAA BBBBBBB CCCCCCC
<page break>
Code:123457
Name:AAAAAAAA
Address:AAAAAAAA
Detail1 Detail2 Detail3
======= ======= =======
AAAAAAA BBBBBBB CCCCCCC
AAAAAAA BBBBBBB CCCCCCC
<page break>
Thank you in advance..
Regards, Shaamil.

Try using the package UTL_FILE.

How to fetch dynamically generated text file

Caveat: I'm actually using CSP, not JSP, but the scripting methods are very similar. A JSP answer will probably apply to CSP as well.
Currently, I have a dynamic content page that which I fetch on a submit action using response->getRedirectURL("xxx") where xxx is the URL of the dynamic page. The page displays fine in the browser, but what I would like to have it do is cause a file save dialog to appear so that the user can save the page as a text file.

Set the MIME/ content type to "text/plain"
You then need to tell the browser to not try and render the contents but to treat it as an attachment.
Set the header "Content-Disposition" with the value "attachment; filename="yourFilenameHere".
And you do realize, posting about CSP here might get you flamed :)

Text file to database

hi all.
please i need to read data seperated by coma from a text file and insert it in oracle database. how can i do this
thanx

Use this function (with Forms : TEXT_IO)
(Change PIPE-delimited line with comma -delimited )
create a FUNCTION in Program Unit
FUNCTION TOKEN (LINEBUF IN OUT VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
/* Returns the first token from the PIPE-delimited line */
/* passed as linebuf. Linebuf then has that token stripped */
/* so that subsequent calls return the second, third, etc. */
FIRST_TOKEN VARCHAR2(70);
PIPE_POS NUMBER;
BEGIN
PIPE_POS := INSTR(LINEBUF, ',');
IF PIPE_POS = 0 THEN
FIRST_TOKEN := LINEBUF;
LINEBUF := null;
ELSE
FIRST_TOKEN := SUBSTR(LINEBUF, 1, PIPE_POS - 1);
LINEBUF := SUBSTR(LINEBUF, PIPE_POS + 1);
END IF;
RETURN FIRST_TOKEN;
END;

Hello All,
Can anyone advise on how to acheieve the above ? I am trying to read in a text file (CSV) and have the contents populated to the respective UI elements in a table. Any help is greatly appreciated.
from
Kwok Wei

Hi,
Let us consider you have list of names(Seperated by delimeter) in a text file and you want to display in a table.
1. Create Context Node "Names" and context attribute "Name"
2. Create Table and bind to the above context.
3.Write the following code in the "Init method.
try{
FileReader f =new FileReader("");
BufferedReader r=new BufferedReader(f);
String names=r.readLine();
Vector Names=new Vector();
// Use Tokenizer and store all the names i a vector//
for(int i=0;i<Names.size();i++){
IPrivate<<VieName>>.INameElement ele=wdContext.createNameElement();
ele.set<<Name>>( Names.get(i).toString());
wdContext.NodeName().addElement(ele);

Fields should be quoted seperated by comma while transferring to text file

Hi Experts,
I need to show the file contents within double quotes and seperated by comma using 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
For eg. The text file contents that are transferred to presentation server should look like,
"00210000001400","21000000149","","0000149","0014","10"
"00210006121500","21000612151","","0612151","1215","10".
I was coded like
**CONCATENATE c_quotes lv_matnr14 INTO lv_first.**
        **CONCATENATE lw_final-extwg+0(2) c_quotes INTO lv_last.**
        **CONDENSE lv_first NO-GAPS.**
        **CONDENSE lv_last NO-GAPS.**
        **CONCATENATE lv_first**
                    **lw_final-ean11+3(11)**
                    **lw_final-yyshortdesc**
                    **lw_final-ean11+7(8)**
                    **lw_final-ean11+9(4)**
                    **lv_last**
               **INTO lw_ps_data**
               **SEPARATED BY c_comma1.**
        **CONDENSE lw_ps_data NO-GAPS.**
        **APPEND lw_ps_data TO rt_ps_data.**
Can u please suggest if there is other better way than this.....?

Downloading into a text file with comma seperation

hey experts,
well i want to download various fields of an internal table into a text file.but the hitch is that all the columns should be seperated by a comma.something like csv.
could you please help me with this.?
i have tried using gui download but the seperator field was not working.
thanks in advance...
regards,

hey sandra,
for comma seperation and downloading ,you can use the following fm.
here the i_field seperator should be given as "," as in ur case.
i_tab3 is the table from which the values are being fetched.
and i_tab2 is the table conatining the comma seperated values.

Reading fields from a text file

Hi, I'm fairly new to this so bear with me.
This is for an assignment - the idea is to cretae an online system for booking seats at a cinema - haven't got past the login stage yet?
I've got an applet that needs to read in a field from a text file.
I'm using the StringTokenizer function.
I've put a test in to check that the applet can find the file, which seems to be ok.
However, it's not reading from the file.
Te file is a simple text file - fields are seperated by a comma and a space.
Any ideas?
Please help as this is quite urgent.
Prototype Code is below
public class cinema extends Applet implements ActionListener, ItemListener{
private List ActionList;
private int listIndex;
TextArea t = new TextArea(5, 30);
private Button gobutton, writebutton, login, logout;
private PrintWriter suggestfile;
TextField Userid, password, enterField;
private int count, checkuser;
private BufferedReader firstn;
File myFile = new File("e:\\Ian\\Unistuff\\2nd Year\\se2\\cinema2\\src\\cinema2\\member.txt");
//Construct the applet
public cinema() {
enterField = new TextField("Please enter user ID and Password");
enterField.setEditable(false);
add(enterField);
Userid = new TextField(3);
add(Userid);
password = new TextField(10);
password.setEchoChar('*');
add(password);
//Initialize the applet
public void init() {
BorderLayout borderLayout1 = new BorderLayout();
//some code ommitted
t.setEditable(false);
add(t);
gobutton = new Button("Go!");
add(gobutton);
gobutton.addActionListener(this);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
if (event.getSource() == gobutton) {
try {
firstn = new BufferedReader( new FileReader(myFile));
catch (IOException e) {
t.setText("Member database missing - please contact Chairperson");
return;
try {
String line1;
boolean found = false;
while (( ( line1 = firstn.readLine() ) != null) && (! found))
{StringTokenizer token1 = new StringTokenizer (line1, " ,");
                          String user = token1.nextToken();
                             if (Userid.getText().equals(user))
                               { found = true;
                                 t.setText("Hello");
firstn.close();
catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println("Error Reading File " + myFile + ": " + e.toString());
Here's the text file:
Ian, Dodson, 001, rubbish
Joe, Bloggs, 002, medway
Bill, Smith, 003, unique
Guest, , Guest,
To test that it is working, it should just put a message in the Text Area, but nothing happens when you press the "go" button.

1. Your applet will not work, because it is trying to
read file from local disk.
2. This task can be solved by simple CGI script
(which is much more common and universal thing than
java), so you do not need to use java if you want to
send 3 lines to a server.
3. See examples and read some books.1. Stated the obvious.
2. This is a java forum, not Perl.
3. Pathetic and patronizing.
Very helpful.

Upload comma seperated file

Hi,
I have to upload a text file which has 12 fields seperated by commas and each of the character field is enclosed by quotes(" ").I tried uploading using GUI_UPLOAD but it is going for short dump.
First row of the file is as below:
1,"ALU",0,"7","21-MAY-2008 15",,"000017088656","00919074","L-130912-02-001","05-Feb-2007",0.70,""

Using text files to commit in UCM trough ODC

Hello all.
Again I'm here trying to do something not that common in ODC. So let me explain what I want, OK?
EDIT: I forgot my specs:
We're using a VM in Vmware Workstation, with Windows 7 64bits. 80gb HD and 2gb RAM.
Using Oracle DB 11gR2 and ODC 10.3.5.
1 - we already opened a ticket with Oracle Support, the number is: SR 3-6108348211. It was closed but we reopened. Until now there is no answer.
2 - we have many files and want to do a test: which is better for commiting files to UCM, ODC or Batch Loader? We know that Batch Loader is the usual one, but maybe there is some speed improvement in checkin using ODC.
3 - we will get the images from a folder, send them to ODC, them the ODC will commit them to UCM, but (here's the catch) sending all the metadata of all those files and being pdf-searchable too.
4 - so I'll put some screens here, showing what I did, OK?
4.1- In this screen I show all the metadata we need ship to UCM. In the left column are the metadata fields and in the right, values.
http://imgur.com/QkqxA
4.2 - In a folder, we put all the images and a text file containing all the metadata referring to the images. As the Oracle Support says, the text file should have these lines.:
C:\Users\oracle\Desktop\import_folder\import1.bmp|4545|Joaozinho|15/15/2015|Import1|11.11
C:\Users\oracle\Desktop\import_folder\import2.bmp|7878|Augusta|16/16/2006|Import2|22.22
C:\Users\oracle\Desktop\import_folder\import3.bmp|00001|Gump|07/07/1997|Import3|333.33
C:\Users\oracle\Desktop\import_folder\import4.bmp|3232|Filipinho|08/08/2008|Import4|99.66
C:\Users\oracle\Desktop\import_folder\import5.bmp|7968|Maria Antonia|15/12/1985|Import5|88.99
C:\Users\oracle\Desktop\import_folder\import6.bmp|56563|Coloral|07/08/1999|Import6|22.33
The first part is the image path, the second its name, the third the odc_Numero field value, the fourth the odc_Nome field value, the fifth the odc_Data field value, the sixth odc_Assunto field value and the last one is odc_Valor field value. All these values need to go to UCM, along with the images.
4.3 - So I put all the images and text file in the folder.
http://imgur.com/o8znD
4.4 - I didn't checked OCR zones in the images, all the metadata values will come from the text field, because the images sometimes cannot be trusted on the values (bad scan, old text, etc).
4.5 - I open the Import Server and did this config:
http://imgur.com/t0xh1
http://imgur.com/PPJGO
http://imgur.com/RWKfU
http://imgur.com/v5P5V
4.6 - I open the commit server and let it in the background, but not doing any batch jobs, just paused.
4.7 - And I got all these errors:
http://imgur.com/lCtql
EDIT: I get this error when opening the import server, just after the login:
http://imgur.com/YB9qe
So here are my questions:
1 - what printer is the ODC needing?
2 - the files will be already converted to PDF, I just want to convert them to pdf-searchable, using the text file containing all metadata and send them to UCM. Is it possible?
3 - is there a guide teaching how to do this?
4 - am I doing it right?
Sorry for the long post, but this an urgent test.
Thanks (seriously, a lot) for all the help and guidance.
Fernando

Hello Jiri.
Thank you for your answer.
Let me answer your questions (I'm using Windows XP this time, both we are working in 7, too):
- while working with the ODC desktop application, you
i. define a file cabinet (which also defines index fields, optionally batch statuses, and commit profiles)
-- I did, these are the fields I've defined for this test
http://imgur.com/7FyRW
ii. define a scan profile
-- Here are the configs for my scan profile
http://imgur.com/Jyfvh
http://imgur.com/tveQZ
iii. define an indexing profile (which also defines index fields the profile will work with, incl. auto-populate)
-- Here are the configs

iv. scan an image (using the scan profile) AND v. index the scanned image (using the indexing profile)
-- I did that. And works ok. I've used OCR zones sometimes and the scan worked. Sometimes I didn't and it worked OK, too. Commit to UCM in both cases worked. Here is an example:
http://imgur.com/rp3jI
http://imgur.com/ZS7FB
http://imgur.com/cHhjC
* Now we go to another part:
ii'. define the import batch job
-- I've defined in here.

http://imgur.com/eKsyJ
http://imgur.com/Kbt5R
http://imgur.com/1azWe

http://imgur.com/IkCww
And after all these configs, when I click in "Activate", to make the batch job active the application closes (in Windows 7 it crashes). When I change to "Import from folder" rather than "Import from list file" I get these messages:
http://imgur.com/1WAMn
http://imgur.com/oz5ZL
Still, the other way is to provide metadata in a List File. The List File is processed directly by Import - and if you define that you want to commit right away Import will try to do it for you, but it can succeed only if it has all the necessary index fields. The error you are getting indicates that something is wrong - it can be that some field is missing, or all the fields are missing (List File could not be parsed).
-- Yes. It is that I want. I don't need to check barcodes at all. I just need to get all the field values from a list file. Here are the contents:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrador\Desktop\import_folderimport1.bmp|4545|Joaozinho|15/15/2015|Import1|11.11
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrador\Desktop\import_folderimport2.bmp|7878|Augusta|16/16/2006|Import2|22.22
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrador\Desktop\import_folderimport3.bmp|00001|Gump|07/07/1997|Import3|333.33

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrador\Desktop\import_folderimport6.bmp|56563|Coloral|07/08/1999|Import6|22.33
Thanks again.
If you could try and say what I am doing wrong you'll help me a lot.

Hi all,
I have developed a custom report which outputs an excel file on the user desktop who executes that report.Now i need to create an additional (second) excel file with almost the same data as the first file.
Im using the FM GUI_DOWNLOAD to create the file.i need have the 2nd file as txt file(seperated by space/tab delimited) and also i want the fields to have fixed length.For this format of the file,what parameters do I need to pass to the FM ?
BR,

Thanks for the prompt reply.
Also in the sel screen,Im entering the path where the o/p file needs to be downloadede.g. C:/Output_folder/Output.xls...Now if I need a text file,do I need to give the fielname as C:/Output_folder/Output.txt.?

Fetching a text file into CLOB column in Oracle!

Please help its urgent.

Prathab,
This is an example from the SQL package doc for DBMS_LOB, that reads from a bfile, and store in a lob.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Example_l2f IS
lobd BLOB;
fils BFILE := BFILENAME('SOME_DIR_OBJ','some_file');
amt INTEGER := 4000;
BEGIN
SELECT b_lob INTO lobd FROM lob_table WHERE key_value = 42 FOR UPDATE;
dbms_lob.fileopen(fils, dbms_lob.file_readonly);
dbms_lob.loadfromfile(lobd, fils, amt);
COMMIT;
dbms_lob.fileclose(fils);
END;
Hope it helps.
