Converting spool of line width more than 850 char to PDF format in ECC 6.0.

Hello Experts.
I am facing problem while trying to convert a spool (generated from background scheduling of an ALV ) to PDF format in ECC 6.0.
The ALV has 45 columns. Using SAP note no 1226758 I am able to increase the spool width but when I am converting the spool to PDF using FM 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF' the end caharacters are getting truncated .
Please reply ASAP . Any suggestion/Hint will be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Aravind,
go to SPAD transaction --> and change the printer which supports more than 45 columnsand 256 cahracters..
according to the printer setting the output is created.
choose any below format TYPES...X_65_256/2
ABAP list: At least 65 lines 2*128=256 double columns (SAPLPD only)
see th following link for result..

Hi,
<li>After converting spool to PDF using CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, need to use below function module
<li>Use SX_TABLE_LINE_WIDTH_CHANGE to convert line width to 255 chars.
 CALL FUNCTION 'SX_TABLE_LINE_WIDTH_CHANGE'
 EXPORTING
 line_width_src = 134
 line_width_dst = 255

How to display more than 255 chars in background job with ALV Grid ????

Hi All,
I am using ALV grid with OO.
I have used call screen for ALV grid display. I have to display more than 255 characters in width. While running it, I can see the list perfectly.
But in background mode, the list is truncated after 255 chars.
Can anybody help how to send complete list(width more than 255 chars) to spool.
Thanks and Regards,
Neha

Hi SAP fan,
YES you can run the ALV report in background mode.
To run the report in background do F9 instead of F8, then give immediate and save.
Now goto Sm35 goto job overview and view the job listed
Choose the job and press the spool button. It will show the list created on the next page. When u clcik the list u can see the ALV output.
To see this the job should be in the finished status.
How to define Periodic Jobs
1.Execute transaction SM36
2.Define Job name, Job class, Target server
3.Click on 'START CONDITION' button
4.Click on 'Date/Time' button
5.Enter Scheduled start DATE & TIME. Check mark 'Periodic Job' field. Click on 'Period values' button and select 'Hourly' or 'Dialy' or 'Weekly' or 'Monthly' or Other period and SAVE. Go back to main screen.
6.Click on 'STEPS' button and enter Program name and Variant under box 'ABAP Program'. Click on 'Print Specification' button and enter Printer name under 'Output device' and SAVE
7.Click on SAVE button until you get message on bottom of the screen that describes 'Job XYZ saved with status: Scheduled'.
8.Click on 'Job overview' button or execute SM37 transaction.
9.Select the appropriate 'Job name', 'User name', 'Job Status' & Schedule date under 'Job start condition' and click on 'Execute' button or press F8.
10.You will now see all your scheduled JOBS.
Case: 2
You can Run in Background but make sure it is alv list, not alv Grid FM. if you are uisng alv list not problem , but if you are using alv grid then you can code like this..
if sy-batch = ' '.
call 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'.
else.
call 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'.
endif.
if you are using OO alv then write this code..
CALL METHOD cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline
 RECEIVING e_offline = off.
 IF off IS INITIAL.
 CREATE OBJECT g_custom_container
 EXPORTING container_name = g_container.
 ENDIF.
Case: 3
if you are using OO ALV.
Just before creating the custom container check for the following condition.
Batch or Web Reporting
IF cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline( ) IS INITIAL.
CREATE OBJECT o_custcontainer
EXPORTING
container_name = lc_custcontrol
EXCEPTIONS
cntl_error = 1
cntl_system_error = 2
create_error = 3
lifetime_error = 4
lifetime_dynpro_dynpro_link = 5
OTHERS = 6
ENDIF.
You can see the output in Spool in transaction SP01.
Good Luck and thanks

Send an attachment in email with length more than 255 char per line

Hi All,
I have to send an attachment in email with length more than 255 char per line. I dont want to break the line after 255 char and add it in another line.
Please suggest me any function module which can perform this.
Thank you all.

I looked at all threads in the forum, there was about 5 or 6 identical questions, but surprise, nobody knows! It seems that SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 function module does not allow more than 255 characters by line.
It would surprise me a lot if there is no workaround !
As it is very easy to add any binary attachment which is like a very long line, PDF for example (several kilobytes), via the function module above (lots of examples in the forum), I would advise you to try to use the same way, i.e. use the contents_bin parameter instead of the contents_txt parameter (convert the text into binary) and add the line feeds yourself (okay I know, it's not very smart).
Last thing, this function module is deprecated, and we should use BCS classes, maybe they work better.

We are trying to save PO with line items more than 600, but it is taking too much time to save. It is taking more than 1 hour to save the PO.
Kindly let me know is there any restriction for no. of line items in the PO. Pls guide

Hi,
I suggest you to do a trace (tcode ST05) to identify the bottleneck.

Clear the line items more than 999 through F-28

Hi,
I have one issue,
senario is like below:
Step1:
F110 - Create the payment order for customer. if customer have more than 999 line items also payment order is updating
Step2:
Clear the invoices with referece to Payment order in F-28
here while clearing the customer line items using payment order referece if line items is more than 999 for customer it is not allowing to clear. error message is line items more than 999.
I have checked with tecnical people can we split the clearing if more than 999 line items. as per them is if it is not referece to payment order it is possible to write some code based on document type or posting date they can split.
here it is not possible. I tried with summrizaiton senario as specified in sap notes if line items more than 999. it is not also working.
i have one more question also while running f110 can we restrect the payment order to geneare upto 999 line items if it exceeds it should create other payment order of remaing line items so on.. is it possible?
can any body give a light to resove this issue.
BR:
Venkat.Gurram

Hi,
I have already checked that link .
I have implemented the note: 36353 for summrizaiton.
for payment order we can't do sumarization due to we can't the payment order while cleargin.
give me some other idea

Converting more than one char back to a string.

I know this:
String s = Character.toString(letter);
will convert one char back to a string.
What about if you have more than one char, how do you convert them back to a string???

When you have more than one char, you probably have them in an array. In that case you can use the String(char[]) constructor.char[] hello = new char[5];
hello[0] = 'h';
hello[1] = 'e';
hello[2] = 'l';
hello[3] = 'l';
hello[4] = 'o';
String salute = new String(hello);

The same solution that I suggested above applies here. Build your email message as a single string. Line lenght won't matter. Then convert the string to the binary table. The binar table won't be restricted to 255 character line lenghts - and in fact wont' care about line lenghts at all. Your long URL in your hyperlink will be fine.

ORA-01704:String literal too long with update of more than 4000 chars

Hi,
I want to update a table column in Oracle Database(version 10) with more than 4000 chars.
The datatype of the table column is NCLOB.
I want to achieve this with one single line of update query as below,
update mytable set MY_DESCRIPTION = 'longdesc' where ID = '111' ;
But there's a problem, if the 'longdesc' is more than 4000 chars, it gives the error , "ORA-01704:String literal too long"
How can I achieve this in sql developer ?
I dont want to do this using stored procedures, I want to do this update using only sql statement.
Please help.
thanks,
sudhakar

Hello Sudhakar,
I am afraid, this will never work by SQL.
Just because an SQL-Statement must not contain a string literal over 4,000 characters (or did that change lately?).
Maybe you can bypass the limit with PL/SQL ... but you will certainly run into the 32K limit sooner or later

PL/SQL process returning message with more than 4000 chars

In our apex application we are using a pl/sql process returning a message.
This message should be shown to the user.
Our problem is now, that the application items in APEX seem to be limited to 4000 chars and the message can be longer.
We are also not able to use a collection, because we can't print the content of a collection in the "Process Success Message".
Here is the content of a page process which is running on page load after header:

Edited by: Oliver L on 16.04.2013 09:17

no an item like P0_TEST on page 0 / global page also does not help.
But the error is not the application item / page item it's the problem that the "Process Success Message" can't handle more than 4000 chars.
I tried to paste a string into the process success message, but the error "Error processing row. ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column" occured even when i filled the textarea and saved the process.
So there's no problem with the application item or page item.

Help in using listagg function for more than 8000 char.

Hi Friends,
Need you urgent help in using listagg function for more than 8000 char.
I did the below sample SQL and in "e_orig" and "d_orig" for upto 4000 char it is working fine but I have to use it for more than 8000 char. and it is giving error,
I checked the listagg function is having limitation of 4000 char.
I tried but I am unable to achive this. Can someone provide me a sample example to achive this
select d.dname,d.loc,e.hiredate
,listagg(e.ename,',' ) within group (order by e.deptno) over (partition by e.deptno) as e_orig
,listagg(e.ename, ',') within group (order by e.sal) over (partition by e.deptno) as d_orig
from emp e, dept d
where e.deptno=d.deptno;[ This is my first post, I gone through the guideline for posting a post , and try to go according to that ( I have not pasted here create table and insert as I have used basic table emp, dept for example), please let me know if still I should give this, I will take care from my next post ]
Thanks in advance

Interesting, I didn't know you could do that, but...

You could write some PL/SQL code that does it all for you, but that would involve loops and would be slow.Well, objects are written in PL/SQL aren't they? And presumably there'll be implicit looping too? So it's not at all obvious that this method will be faster than doing the joining in PL/SQL in memory. The only way to find out is to benchmark them - so I have done that.
I noticed that OP's ref cursor actually only ever retrieves a single record for a bound department number, so I decided the best thing would be to test using a procedure that passes an output string back. I selected all (109) employees and put spaces in to ensure above 4000 characters. I also noticed that as he is using PL/SQL he probably can use a VARCHAR2 type, but just not ListAgg in the query, so I wrote short procedures as follows:
SimpleAggChr     - bulk collect and array processing, VARCHAR2 output
ClobAggPrc     - the custom aggregation method, CLOB output
SimpleAggClob     - bulk collect and array processing, CLOB output
I then wrote a driving script that calls them in the order above and times each call (I like benchmarking so I have my own timing object to make it easy). I then print the lengths for checking, and my object writes the timings to my output table. Running a few times I got varying results, but generally it looks like there isn't a lot to choose between them for performance.
Here's the procedure code:

Attach xls file with more than 255 chars

Hi all,
I'm trying to send an .xls file as attachement whose row contains more than 255 chars with FM 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'.
When preparing the attached table, I tried to separate the tables like this:
loop at itab.
concatenate itab-col_1 itab-col_2 itab-col_3 into it_attach
    separted by cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
append it_attach.
concatenate itab-col_4 itab-col_5 itab-col_6 into it_attach
    separted by cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
append it_attach.
concatenate IT_ATTACH cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline into it_attach.
append it_attach.
endloop.
I am able to send this xls as attachment, but when open it in excel/notepad,
it is so strange that there are so many spaces before the contents itab-col_4 which is unexpected.
It is expected that the file is tab-delimited with continuous column 1-6.
Any things went wrong?
Many Thanks!

Thanks.
I tried the first method to convert the byte to string, but a short dumps is resulted,
DATA: con_tab TYPE x,
           sep TYPE string.
con_tab = '09'.
CALL FUNCTION 'HR_KR_XSTRING_TO_STRING'
            EXPORTING
              in_xstring = con_tab
            IMPORTING
              out_string = sep.
so I use back my original method to concatenate the columns as suggested, i.e.
concatenate itab-col_1 tab itab-col_2 tab itab-col_3 tab into it_attach
append it_attach.
concatenate itab-col_4 tab itab-col_5 tab itab-col_6 into it_attach.
append it_attach.
concatenate it_attach cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline into it_attach.
append it_attach.
but the outcome is still the same, i.e. ...many leading space before itab-col_4
any more ideas? Many Thanks

How to transfer data more than 255 char from excel sheet to internal table.

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement where i have a text field in the excel sheet of more than 255 char and need to be updated in the text element. To do that i need to transfer the excel sheet data to an internal table where one of the field is more than 255 char.
in the standard function module it works only upto 255 char. Can you help me if we have some other way to get more than 255 char in the internal table from excel sheet.
Thanks in Advance.
BR,
RaJ.

Using .xls, it is not possible transfer data more than 255 characters from excel sheet. However if the excel sheet is saved as Comma Delimited format or Tab Delimited format, then using GUI_DOWNLOAD function module data more than 255 characters can be transferred.
File name should be : .csv (Comma Delimited format) or .txt (Tab Delimited format)
File Type would still remain 'ASC' while calling function module GUI_DOWNLOAD
Also In the internal table declare the field type as String or LCHAR.
Eg:
TYPES: begin of ty_file,
        col_a TYPE string,
      end of ty_file.
DATA: i_file type standard table
               of ty_file
             with header line
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
EXPORTING
    FILENAME                      = 'C:\test.csv'
TABLES
    DATA_TAB                      = i_file

Hlp reqd: Urgent!!!! An Excel attachment Having recs more than 255 char len

Hi.. I am using the FM "SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1" for sending a outlook mail with excel sheet as an attachment.
The records having length upto 255 chars are coming properly in diff rows(which means the carriage return is considered).
But when records have more than 255 chars, then the chars exceeding 255 length are coming in a single row of excel sheet which means the carraige returns are not considered.
Hope my issue is explained clearly....request every one to provide the solution as early as possible.
Regards
Nanda

Hi Nanda,
build your XLS internal table X as usual (more then 255 char). Then format the table
X to a new one Y with line size 255. (You can do your own routine or use the FM SWA_STRING_FROM_TABL and SWA_STRING_TO_TABLE in sequence; sorry but I'm on 4.6C and didn't find a FM in order to format directly the internal table from line size XXXX to the desired line size).
sample code:
t_att_tab with line size 4000 containing the excell data with carriage return and so on
objbin with line size 255 used in FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1
 data: d_string type string.
 call function 'SWA_STRING_FROM_TABLE'
 exporting
 character_table = t_att_tab
NUMBER_OF_CHARACTERS =
 line_size = 4000
KEEP_TRAILING_SPACES = ' '
CHECK_TABLE_TYPE = ' '
 importing
 character_string = d_string
 exceptions
 no_flat_charlike_structure = 1
 others = 2
 if sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
 endif.
 call function 'SWA_STRING_TO_TABLE'
 exporting
 character_string = d_string
APPEND = ' '
 line_size = 255
CHECK_TABLE_TYPE = ' '
 importing
 character_table = objbin
TOTAL_LENGTH =
LINE_SIZE_USED =
LINES_FILLED =
LAST_LINE_LENGTH =
 exceptions
 no_flat_charlike_structure = 1
 others = 2
 if sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
 endif.
It works!!!

Hi,
If you want table name to be more than 30 Char.
I am sure,your naming convention is not upto the mark.
Its not possible in 10g as well as in 11g.
