Create Text Files as Unicode in SAP 4.5

Hi Experts
Is there any way to generate generate/save text files in SAP 4.5?
Thanks

Hi There.
I would like to suggest,
In ECC 4.5, The function modules -
>
WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD are not obsolete as like in ECC 4.7 onwards, but you can use them. CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES is used in the recent versions.
But, In case for Unicode conversions, It is not possible in ECC 4.5.
As an alternative,
I suggest, you use the transfer from Internal table to Application Server using OPEN DATASET and CLOSE DATASET as described by Chandralekha.
I suggest, Use transaction code: CG3Y for transfer of file from application to presentation server.
For retrieving back from presentation server to Application server you can use------>
Transaction code -
> CG3Z.
Direct Text conversions are possible, just select from the list.
Hope that's usefull.
Good Luck & Regards.

How to copy/send text file from FTPS to SAP ECC File Port

Hi Frdns,
I am working on one design, actually my requirement as follows
I am receiving financial information document from Banks, which is in the form of BIA2 message format, it looks like text file. This information needs to be sending to SAP ECC system.
I identified some approaches to full fill the requirement
1)Using Conversion agent/or third party tools to convert BIA2 message in to XML, then using PI I will pick up the XML message, convert it in to IDoc.
2)Without any conversion I will copy the same file (original BIA2 message) in to SAP ECC file port, in this case no conversion required, calling some program I will schedule it.
I am looking forward t implement the second approach because it saves lot of money to my client.
Now I am wondering using File adapter can i copy to SAP ECC File Port or I required ABAP proxy?
What is the best approach to copy the BIA message text file from FTPS to SAP ECC File Port.??
Regards,
Raj

Hi Raja,
>>Now I am wondering using File adapter can i copy to SAP ECC File Port or I required ABAP proxy?
Yes you can do this copy, the only restriction that can happen is the file size.. If you are sure that the fiel will be of few MB at the max then you can use the Configuration part alone and copy it to ECC folder. For doing this you need the following:
1. Sender agreement (mention the sender interface as anything XYZ)
2. Sender communication channel. Pick the file in binary mode
3. Receiver determination (keep both the sender and receiver service as same)
4. Interface Detemiantion (dont specify any mapping and keep the receiver interface name as XYZ)
5. Create receiver agreement (with same service and interface)
6. Use file adapter here

Problem in creating text file from report file

Hello Everybody...
I have problem in creating text file.
I had set System Parameter as below
DESTYPE : File
MODE : Character
DESNAME : gayu.txt
And ruler setting
Units : Character Cells
Character Cell Size : Horiziontal = 7
Vertiacle =12
GridSpacing : 1
no of snap points per grid spacing : 1
but when i run report it will give error
"REP_1219 M_2 or R_2 has no size -- length or width zero"
so is there any solution of that
or another way to convert report into text file?....

Hi Folks,
Please don't go after that Error as its a very deceptive one. Please don't go for altering your design Or changing the size of items in your layout.
Similar errors I have come across in reports. I think its due to file transfer type. You might have transferred the file in Binary and your File Mode I am seeing it as CHAR.
This normally happens while making the Report Format as "Text". Either you change that format which I think is possible in your case as your basic requirement is making a report output of CHAR type.
Please check for this error in Metalink and proceed accordingly. I could fix similar errors when I changed Format type to PDF(from text).

Hi ha noi,
you don't need 2 intermediate textfiles!
Just write the header line first, then attach lines containing values...

Create text file in Database Trigger

Hello,
How to create text file in the database trigger. I am working on Row level trigger which has select statement if statement fails I have to create text file and insert record in text file. I tried to use file1 TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE package it does not works.
Thanks,
Atif

TEXT_IO is not available on the database. It is only available if you are doing client-side PL/SQL development in Oracle Forms. On the database side, you can use the UTL_FILE package.
Since writing to a file is not transactional, however, and because Oracle may have to call a trigger multiple times to ensure write consistency:

http://tkyte.blogspot.com/2005/08/part-ii-seeing-restart.html
http://tkyte.blogspot.com/2005/08/something-different-part-i-of-iii.html
you aregenerally better off not writing to a file in a trigger. The better answer is generally to use Oracle Asynchronous Queues to send a message to another process that actually writes the file. That way, if the transaction rolls back, nothing gets written to the file.

Create text file (ASCII), tab separated and load in sap (transaction al11)

hi..
i need to create a text file (ASCII), tab separated in sap which can be viewed in transaction AL11.
thank you.

Hi kailashl,
Do intend to create a tab delimited file through program. or is it that you wish to diretly place the file on the application server.
PS: if you wish to place the file which you have on the application server from presentation you use the tcode CG3Z, you need to give the source file path on the front end and target path on the application.
If you wish to write the file onto the app server using program that you can do using dataset. and for tab delimited u can use CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.
PS: Award points ONLY if the solution was useful to you.

Prob in transferring the chinese texts from the text file (UTF-8) into SAP

IF SY-SUBRC NE 0 .
ENDIF.
I use ABAP debugger to check the field values of the internal table . But, the values of the internal table which contains chinese chars are changed to some other Chinese characters . How to fix this problem?
I have used ASC filedatatype , but it doesn't work .
Thanks for your reply .

Create text file from form data

I need to create a form using dreamweaver and coldfusion. We
do not have coldfusion server. just Dreamweaver 8. Until we decide
what application server we will use, I need to create a text file
each time a user submits data from a form and put the data into a
text file. What would be the best way to handle this?

if you do not have an application server like CF or PHP or
ASP (or
other) to process your form submissions, you should look for
a perl/cgi
script that can do it for you. i remember from awhile ago a
script
called bnbform from bignosebird.com ... it is used for
emailing form
submissions to a designated email address, but if i remember
correctly
it also stored form data in a text file....

Seeking simple example pl/sql to create text file from table data

hello,
I am hoping someone can provide very simple example of creating a file on my local harddrive using a pl/sql program. The basic steps are as follows:
First, I store some text in a varchar2 variable like this:
1. select sometext into otextvar from mytable where recordid = 1;
Second, I want this text to become a file in my data directory:
2. c:\data\sometext.txt
The second step is where I need help.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Use this function
It will create for you a file in your /home/oracle directory with sysdate name and will insert all table names in it
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE my_proc AS
CURSOR cursor1 IS
SELECT table_name from all_tables;
CURSOR cursor2 IS
SELECT sysdate from dual;
rec1 cursor1%ROWTYPE;
rec2 cursor2%ROWTYPE;
created_file_name VARCHAR2(100);
file_name utl_file.file_type;
BEGIN
OPEN cursor2;
LOOP
FETCH cursor2 INTO rec2;
EXIT WHEN cursor2%NOTFOUND;
created_file_name:=rec2.sysdate;
file_name := utl_file.fopen('/home/oracle', created_file_name,'W');
OPEN cursor1;
LOOP
FETCH cursor1 INTO rec1;
EXIT WHEN cursor1%NOTFOUND;
utl_file.putf(file_name, '%s\n',rec1.TABLE_NAME);
END LOOP;
utl_file.fclose(file_name);
END LOOP;
END my_proc;

Email a created text file by the click of a button

Hi
What I am trying to do it that: In the Front Panels, All the data is collected via String Control and other Control, then when a press saved, a text file is created and stored in the path that I specified.
It is possible in LabView to using a Button called 'Email Created File' to then e-mail that file as an attachment.
What VIs or example does such a thing?
P.S. I'm deploying it to a PDA.

Cannot create text file acrobat reader X

Hi,
I am trying to create a text file for logging purposes. The creation of the text file works fine in Reader 8 & 9, but not in Reader X. I am just putting the file in the current directory of the pdf (for now on the Desktop), so it should have access/privileges to create the file.
      ASFile pFile;
   ASPathName volatile PathName = NULL;
   PathName = ASFileSysCreatePathName(ASGetDefaultFileSys(), ASAtomFromString("Cstring"), "testA.txt", 0);
   if (!PathName)
     ASRaise (ASFileError(fileErrOpenFailed));
   AVAlertNote("A");
   ASInt32 ret1 = ASFileSysOpenFile(NULL, PathName, ASFILE_CREATE|ASFILE_WRITE, (ASFile*)&pFile);
   if (ret1 != 0)
      AVAlertNote("A1");
      char buf[33];
      sprintf(buf,"error %d",ret1);
      AVAlertNote(buf);
      return 0;
   AVAlertNote("B");
In reader X the alert sequence is:
"A" -> "A1" -> "error 1074593797"
Instead of just "A" -> "B"
Any help would be appreciated.

You need to read up on the new Sandbox in Reader X.
