Csv files!

is there a way of exporting the results of a survey to a csv file? and how is it possible?

Yeh, the source file (non-excel) is actually the one produced in comma-delimited. And that seems to work fine.If I change the output file to a tab-delimited file that seems to load much better, until it gets to the second record. Because our product is five digits long, I think it believes it's data, so I'm now getting an error on the second row saying 'too many data values'. But I have doublechecked it's a text field in the app link settings. I'm gonna see if I can't find a way to put quotes around it in the app link process, that should fix the problem if it's possible.

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
- - 1.250,25
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 Transform.class ( 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 Transform.contentType, Transform.contentDisposition, Transform.contentDescription.
PayloadSwapbean is a standard module for replacing payloads with other payloads (SWAP)
If you want to give each attachment a certain name use Parameters, swap.keyname for name of the payload and swap.keyvalue.
I Hope the use of standard modules is understood.

Read a CSV file and dynamically generate the insert

I have a requirement where there are multiple csv's which needs to be exported to a sql table. So far, I am able to read the csv file and generate the insert statement dynamically for selected columns however, the insert statement when passed as a parameter

Import-Csv -Path $FileName.FullName | % {
# Insert statement.
$insert = "INSERT INTO $Tablename ($ReqColumns) Values ('"
$valCols='';
$DataCols='';
$lists = $ReqColumns.split(",");
foreach($l in $lists)
$valCols= $valCols + '$($_.'+$l+')'','''

PI 7.11 CSV file

Hello All,
I have a simple scenerio IDOC to File.
We had a requirement of making a XML file of IDOC received in PI , ery simple and straight forward.
Now Target side as a requirement to place a file in CSV format.
I mean the IDOC received in PI should be placed in target directory as CSV file.
I am working on PI7.11 , can anyone help me with some info.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Vikrant

Hi Vikrant,
>>Now Target side as a requirement to place a file in CSV format. I mean the IDOC received in PI should be placed in target directory as CSV file.
If you want the XMLized IDoc to be converted to a plain IDoc, either use the approach suggested by Michal in this blog (use tunneling and create a by-pass scenario)
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/21/xi-idoc-to-idoc-tunneling--how-fast-and-easy-can-you-get
or
download the IDoc as a flat Idoc and use PI to transfer the content from one directory to another.
PS: All this is applicable if you want the Flat version of XMLized Idoc

How can I make an easy *.CSV file to load into database table

Hi All,
I have a huge excel sheet having columns item#, description and qty. The description column sometimes maybe one word name, two word name separated with space or may be , spearated name. I want to write and PL/SQl code which will read this file and load it into database table. Now the *.CSV file is either comma delimited or tab text delmited which both do not solve my issue. Is there any better solution with anyone which can prevent the manual editing to the *.CSV file and I can easily load it to table.
Your help is appreciated,
Thanks
Zahir

SQL*Loader is probably the fastest method, but since you specifically asked for a PL/SQL method:

How can I export a group email address to a .csv file. I can export the whole address book but it looses the group listings.

I have an address book in Thunderbird and want to export one group listing to a .csv file. I couldn't find a way of exporting one group so exported the whole address book then opened the .csv file and was going to remove the all addresses except the group but the group name was not in the file.
Is it possible to export the group listing.
Thanks
Ron

Open Address Book, select the mailing list in the left pane, then Tools/Export, select csv (comma separated) format, name the file, click Save.

How can I read, millions of records and write as *.csv file

I have to return some set of columns values(based on current date) from the database (could be million of record also) The dbms_output can accomodate only 20000 records. (I am retrieving thru a procedure using cursor).
I should write these values to a file with extn .csv (comma separated file) I thought of using a utl_file. But I heard there is some restriction on the number of records even in utl_file.
If so, what is the restriction. Is there any other way I can achive it? (BLOB or CLOB ??).
Please help me in solving this problem.
I have to write to .csv file, the values from the cursor I have concatinated with "," and now its returning the value to the screen (using dbms_output, temporarily) I have to redirect the output to .csv
and the .csv should be in some physical directory and I have to upload(ftp) the file from the directory to the website.
Please help me out.

Jimmy,
Make sure that utl_file is properly installed, make sure that the utl_file_dir parameter is set in the init.ora file and that the database has been re-started so that it will take effect, make sure that you have sufficient privileges granted directly, not through roles, including privileges to the file and directory that you are trying to write to, add the exception block below to your procedure to narrow down the source of the exception, then test again. If you still get an error, please post a cut and paste of the exact code that you run and any messages that you received.
