Csv export code modification

Hi Guys,
Below you find some ABAP code that will get a lot of product and price information. A csv file is then created and put in a folder.
The program exports csv columns like this: ProductID;ProductName;PurchasePrice;Price;PriceVAT;Category;Brand;EAN
The only thing I would want is to adjust the code so that it does exactly the same, but only exports three columns: ProductID;PriceVAT;Stock
I would guess that it's not a very big modification, but my knowledge of ABAP is very low. So I hope you guys can help me out here
Here's the code: [catalog_abap_code|http://www.storylinedesign.be/catalog_abap_code.txt]
Cheers,
Jimmy

anyone?

Multiple CSV exports from the one button or pl/sql procedure?

I need to have multiple csv exports from the one press of a button. The easiest way I found to do this is it to use javascript to popup three windows, each as a CSV link. This is a bit ugly though, and leaves the browser popup windows open when the file has been downloaded.
I guess I could also make a solution based on branching, but I think that would be difficult to maintain and reeks of bad design (im not a fan of this spagetti GOTO style code!).
I implemented Scott's custom CSV as found here: http://spendolini.blogspot.com/2006/04/custom-export-to-csv.html
However I would like to know if its possible to download more than one file using this method. I could not work out how to do this .
Has anyone got any ideas? Simply repeating the code puts the second table into the original csv file. Is there a way to 'reset' the htp writer or smoething?
Any help greatly appreciated,
Alex

Sorry for the confusion - I guess I mean its easy in .NET because you can simply compress files together and then send 1 zip file down as the response. See http://www.developer.com/net/net/article.php/11087_3510026_2 for details.
I guess I could ask how to do this in APEX - but it seems to me that my original wording addresses the concept at a much more abstract level. I may not find the best solution for my problem if I just asked 'how can I dynamically zip together three tables as seperate files and send them to the client?'. I also suspect that this method is not possible in APEX without custom packages. Please prove me wrong!
I guess even if I could find some kind of javascript that didnt open a new window, but was a direct download to the CSV, that would be a good compromise. At the moment when you click on the link, three windows come up and stay blank until the files are ready for downloading. Then after the files have been downloaded the windows must be shut manually. Yes, I could use javascript to make the windows 1x1 pixel perhaps, and then shut them after a predetermined timeframe - but this is hardly an elegant solution!
Thanks for your responses.

High performance CSV export

Hi,
I have been looking for a way to export huge datasets to CSV format for import with MySql.
As sqlplus SPOOL turned out to be slow and difficult to use, I ended up coding my own importer using the OCCI library.
I successfully compiled my code under Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 64 bit, and Oracle Instant Client 12.1. But as it only uses C++ STL and OCCI, it should as well build under other environments (e.g. Windows).
Here's the code:
* ociexport.cpp - High performance ORACLE to CSV export (using OCCI and STL)
* This program takes the ORACLE connection information from the following
* environment variables:
* ORACLE_USER, ORACLE_PASS, ORACLE_CONN
* Fields are exported in a CSV with delimiter ';'. Semicola within the fields
* are escaped with '\;'. Newlines and tabs in the fields are replaced by blanks.
* Empty fields and NULL values are exported as '\N' for easy MySQL import.
* CLOBS are exported as well. BLOBS and BFILES are not supported atm.
* Don't forget to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to your Oracle Client libs when
* building and running this program.
* @param $1 Select-Statement
* @param $2 Output file (optional - if empty, output goes to stdout)
* @author Bert Klauninger
* @version 0.1.0
* @changelog
*    2013-12-13 - Created
*    2013-12-16 - Added CLOB streaming support

Report + Jquery + CSV export = jquery result lost

We have some IR reports with breaks. We put these next to eachother on specific headers with jquery code in the report. But when we do an export i want the same results as shown in the report. The changes made in Jquery get lost when i do a CSV export. Is there some way to get the same columns next to each other like in the report on the screen? or is there some other way to get the same result using something other than jquery? We are now want to making a function in DB using dynamic sql that returns a query to apex report but there should be some easier way in Apex than this no?
Thanks in advance

@ TexasApexDeveloper i asked this question on linkedin Apex group before. But not here. So there no way to show the breaks next to eachother in the CSV file? with or without use of Jquery?
@ Tyson: no sample app.
Standard behavier of IR report:
department :1
col1 col2 col3 col4
BREAK
col1 col2 col3 col4
BREAK
col1 col2 col3 col4
BREAK
col1 col2 col3 col4
BREAK
department :2
col1 col2 col3 col4
BREAK
col1 col2 col3 col4
BREAK
With Jquery made it look like this
department 1
col1 col2 col3 col4 BREAK col1 col2 col3 col4 BREAK col1 col2 col3 col4 BREAK col1 col2 col3 col4 BREAK
department 2
col1 col2 col3 col4 BREAK col1 col2 col3 col4 BREAK col1 col2 col3 col4 BREAK col1 col2 col3 col4 BREAK
i want the data like this in CSV, so that then user opens this in excel the data is presented horizontaly per department:
department 1
col1 col2 col3 col4 BREAK col1 col2 col3 col4 BREAK col1 col2 col3 col4 BREAK col1 col2 col3 col4 BREAK
department 2
col1 col2 col3 col4 BREAK col1 col2 col3 col4 BREAK col1 col2 col3 col4 BREAK col1 col2 col3 col4 BREAK

Ssrs 2008 r2 csv export

In an existing ssrs 2008 r2 report, I have a question about the csv export.
When the report was originally written, I only expected the users to export the data to excel.
Basically the issue is, based on the states where the customers exist. If the customers exists on the east coast, I version of the report is displayed. If the users exist in the Midwest, another version of the report is displayed. if the users exist on the
west coast a third version of the report is displayed.
However now if the users want to export the data to csv (comma delimited), all 3 versions are appearing in the csv file.
I do know that when I hide a tablix, that does not export the data to a csv file. However when I pick the option to show or hide a tablix based upon the expression, the tablix is exported to a csv file.
Is there a way to export the columns and data that actually apply to the particular customer. I do not want all the data columns for east coast, Midwest, and west coast to appear on the csv export?
If there is a way to not display the extra data columns and rows, can you tell me how to accomplish this goal? Showing me code and/or a url would also be helpful.

Hi Wendy,
When exporting a report to CSV format in Reporting Services, the visibility of a report item/object is only controlled by the Property DataElementOutput. If the DataElementOutput property of a report item is set to Auto or Output, it will be exported to
the CSV file, otherwise, the report item won’t be exported to CSV. Currently, the DataElementOutput property is hard-coded which doesn’t allow us to set the property based on an expression. In this way, it is impossible for different users to have different
exported CSV files in your scenario.

Calling the CSV Export link in a Report Template

I'm trying to have our "download" link appear on the bottom left rather then the default which is to the far right in Look 4.
When I look at the source code, I can see how look 3 and 4 differ - different HTML table set-up and "align=right" for the link.
Unfortunately, looking at the source gives me the direct source for that specific report file not the command to include the csv export file, so I can't include it in a new report template design.
Is there code I can use to include a CSV link in my report template?
If not, how can I place the report download/csv export into my Nav bar region, or some other region?

Michelle,
Typically you'll find the substitution strings documented in the popup help when clicking on the item label. But this one doesn't seem to be listed there. It's documented in the online help though. Click in the help icon in the upper right corner of your page and search for CSV.

ORA-20876 in csv export from interactive report = Possibly a bug?

Hi Apex team,
yesterday i tried to download data to csv from an interactive report. The resulting csv file contained a "ORA-20876: Stop APEX Engine" only and no other data. I played around with other reports in my application and had no problems with exports.
After some investigation i found out that the buggy report contains a column of display type "Display as text (based on a LOV, escape special characters)". When I changed this column type to "Standard Report Column" for example, the error didn't appear anymore and the csv export contained complete data.
Maybe this is a bug? The environment is Apex 4.1.1.00.23 on 11g (UTF-8). Is there a workaround available?
Regards,
Jens
Edited by: j.gauger on 06.02.2013 14:10
Additional Information
The problem seems to occur only if a Shared Components LOV of type "Static" is referenced in the IR column.

Hi,
what happens if you take the query from IR report and create a new classic report?
On this report enable csv export and then try the export.
Maybe that (format) data are causing export to fail.
Try to export just one row in your IR report (and classic report), so that you add where rownum < 2.

Strange characters in report .csv export

Hello,
When I enable .csv export in my report, a name like Chiràc Jaqués apears as ChirÃ¨c JaquÃ©s in the csv.
I understand it has to do with charactersets but I don't know how to solve it.

Code modification...urgent

hi experts,
i am new to enhancement and modifications.
can anybody tell me
1.is the term modification and code modification one and the
   same?or different?if so,
2.what is code modification?
3.how do u do code modification?
4.adv. and disadv. of code modifications?
i appreciate if u provide links also.
thanks in advance.

Hi
Explicit Enhancement Options
There are two types of explicit enhancement options: Source code enhancements with source code plug-ins and BAdIs:
        Explicit enhancement options of the source code enhancement type allow you to insert source code plug-ins. These are lines of code that are executed if the source code enhancement option is inserted in the code with the Enhancement Point command. Source code enhancement options with the Enhancement Section command behave the same, except that the source code plug-in replaces the section in the original code. Therefore, you are not only able to enhance the original code, but can also flag specific code sections (as enhancement sections) so that other developers can replace these sections with other code without making modifications.
        Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) are hangers for object plug-ins. A BAdI definition comprises an interface with methods. BAdIs are enhanced by classes that implement the BAdI interface. If you instantiate a BAdI and then call its methods, you can, among other things, specify which method implementations are to be carried out on the basis of filter values. In other words, a BAdI method call is a dynamic method call with a specified interface, for which it is not determined until runtime which method implementations are to take place.
In the case of source code enhancements, the definition and call coincide. You define BAdIs once in the BAdI Builder and can then call them at different points in the various compilation units.
Implicit Enhancement Options
Implicit enhancement options are fixed points in compilation units that is, points that remain intact even if the code is changed. This is important for the following reason: If the location of an enhancement is moved, you have to check manually after an upgrade whether the enhancement is still at the correct point and replace it if necessary. The following are implicit enhancement options at which enhancements can always be inserted:
        You can always insert source code plug-ins before the first and the after the last line of includes, methods, reports, and function modules.
        You can always add further optional parameters to function modules.
        For global classes, there are different permanent, implicit options for enhancements: You can insert additional attributes or methods, and you can add optional parameters to existing methods
Customer-Specific Modification and Enhancement Possibilities
Use
The following documentation provides an overview of the customer-specific modification and enhancement possibilities in the IS-H System. Note that to implement enhancements, you require ABAP programming knowledge.
Features
The IS-H system provides the following technical possibilities for customer-specific modifications and enhancements
Business Add-Ins (BAdIs)
   If default code (standard procedure defined by SAP) exists for the BAdI, please note it will be overwritten when you implement the BAdI. You can, if required, re-use the default code in your implementation.
As of SAP NetWeaver 2004, the enhancement concept of the ABAP Workbench (Enhancement Framework) is available for BAdIs. Note that SAP Patient Management contains BAdIs that use the Enhancement Framework as well as the classic BAdIs.
Customer Exits (transaction SMOD)
If SAP delivers sample code for the customer exit, you can access it when implementing the exit by choosing Goto ® Sample Code. You can re-use the sample code using Copy&Paste
User Exits from the IS-H Implementation Guide: Basic Settings ® Configuration/Systems/Events ® Display SAP User Exits.
To implement the IS-H user exits, copy the function module delivered by SAP into a customer-specific function group. The name of the function module delivered by SAP is specified in the table you call in the IS-H Implementation Guide by choosing the path specified to the left here.
Once youve copied the source code, you can modify this copy to meet your needs. Note that you must not modify the interface of your own function module.
Now enter the name youve chosen for the function module in the customer table. You access this table by choosing Basic Settings ® Configuration/Systems/Events ® Configure Customer User Exits.
If it is helpful rewards points.

Problem in SAP standard code modification for FB03

Hi Experts,
I am adding 4custom fields in FB03 tcode by doing a SAP standard code modification in SE51.
The program name is SAPMF05L and screen no. is 302(In some SAP verion, it is 304). This is the screen for document line item of an invoice.
My problem is:
When I add the fields in the screen, in which module will I put logic in the PBO and PAI as I am unable to figure out the German comments and the program structuring.
Also, if anybody can tell me what to write as I am little bit confused about the logic of populating my fields with the values.
FB03 is a display transaction so I have to keep my custom screen fields disabled.
Regards,
Sangeeta.

Hi Sangeeta,
For enhancing the screen of this Tcode, first of all search is there any Screen enhancement is provided by SAP or not and in case if it is provided then use that only.

German Umlaut in CSV export on mac os

Hello,
i have problems with the csv export when i use an apple mac. German Umlaute are not displayed correctly, neither when i open the .csv file with TextApp nor when i open it with Numbers from iWork.
On a windows machine all is fine. Excel and every text editor i tried opens the file fine with the umlaute displaying correct.
The application is set to automatically encode the csv and application language is set to german.
Is there any other setting that i can change to get a correct csv export on an apple mac?
Apex version is 4.0.2.00.07, Oracle version is 11.2.0.1.0.
Thanks for help in advance,
Dirk

Hi Dirk,
Most likely, the Automatic CSV encoding attribute is set to 'Yes' for your application. If you're running your application in German, then the CSV file will be encoded in WE8MSWIN1252.
Can you try setting Automatic CSV Encoding to "No" (in the Globalization attributes of your application)? The CSV file will then be encoded in UTF-8 - which means that your Windows users may not open it directly but, instead, have to do a data import and specify utf-8 character set.

BUG: SQL Developer 1.5.3 CSV export column order broken

There's a bug in the 1.5.3 release of SQL Developer regarding data export. This bug re-orders the column order in the data export to be alphabetically sorted. This produces mangled CSV files if used on a table or a view.
This is a critical bug to me since I need to produce lots of ad-hoc data CSV export files. I'm staying with SQL Developer 1.5.0.53 (53.38) for now as it doesn't have this problem.
This is the same bug as present in Jdeveloper 11.1 as described in my post here: BUG: Jdev 11.1.1.0.0 -- DB table data export column order is not preserved
Quoted from that post:
When I connect to Oracle database, get the table list, right click on the table and select 'Export Data'->csv. The dialog box opens with three tabs: Format, Columns, Where. The column order displayed in both tabs Columns and Where is alphabetic. Because alphabetic ordering re-arranges columns from their initial ordering in the table, this screws up CSV export because columns are not in their intended order. This same problem occurs when I try to export data from views to generate a CSV file with a particular column order.
Please open/check bug report if it's already open.
Thanks!

This happens with all of the export options for tables or views if you right click from the connections tab table list. If I pull it up in the main window and go to the data tab, I can then right click and it will keep the column id order for some of the views and tables. But not all.
I am running 1.5.3 Build Main 5783 on a Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 platform

Signed classes & preventing code modification

Hi, I've got a generic question concerning preventing code modification.
Suppose I have written some neat code (yeah, that might happen, one never knows ;-)) and I want to bundle it in a JAR AND make sure nobody will modify my code (at least, without a warning).
All right. I make up my JAR, and I sign it. This adds a SIGNER.SF & SIGNER.DSA/.RSA to the JAR.
Yes... but... what prevents another person from:
1. downloading my JAR
2. unjarring my JAR, and retrieving the important .classes
3. eventually, modifying the .class (to make my code silly and ugly for instance ! ;-( ).
4. make again the JAR, and sign it with his own keys
You'll tell me: "Yes, this is possible, but then the code is signed by him, not by you !". Correct... But who will warn the user that has downloaded my code that he's not using "my" code but another one.
I'll have to tell him "check the signature is 0215AB45...". 1/ This is Highly unpractical... 2/ If He's the bad guy, this does not prevent him from modifying my code !
Any solution or interesting thoughts for that topic ?
Thanks,
Axelle.

Signing is not intended to prevent modification, java classes can always be decompiled, modified and redistributed. What signing does is allow modification to be detected.
If a user has your public key, he will be able to detect that the (modified) jar was not signed by you, and hence is untrustworthy.
Similarly a java application can detect that a given jar file (or even object, eg: an authentication token) was not signed by you, and hence cannot be trusted. If however the Bad Girl has access to the application code, she can decompile said application code and modify it so that it doesn't care.
If you want to protect your code, you can try obfuscating it (there are various obfuscation tools around, do a search on google), but all this does is make the decompiled code less easy to read (variable names all a1, a2, etc), and won't really stop anyone who is serious about stealing your cool code.
Another option might be to deploy a compiled version (if you are distributing an application to a single platform), but this won't work with applets, loses the portability of java classes, and if the Bad Girl is good enough (and determined enough) it will only slow her down (though probably a fair bit).
The only sure fire way I know of preventing your Java code from being stolen is to not distribute it, which is hardly useful.
