Field Values being changed in the flat file on Application Server

Hi All,
I am loading a flat file(.CSV) from Application server. The file has some characteristic fields, for ex: CNUM of type Char, length 20. But it has got the value which is of 10 char length, say XYZ1234XAB. When I load the same fiel from client workstation, the load was successful but when I load it from Application server, the load has failed and the error is Invalid/Hex. characteristics for this record and many such records.
When I checked the file on the application server the value 'XYZ1234XAB' is being displayed as 'XYZ1234XAB   #' and it is also being loaded with '#'. This is the cause of the error.
Why is the value being changed on the application server? What can I do to overcome this?
Thanks,
RPK.

Hi Ganesh,
I have already loaded data to my ODS and when activating it is giving error "Value 'XYZ123XABC   #' (hex. '123456....') of characteristic CNUM contains invalid chara".
I also have some lower case char in some of the records for the same field. The file is huge and cannot change the file, infact I have many such files. Is there any other way to overcome this?
Thanks,

Hi BI consultant:
   Could you please provide more details?
For example:
1.Is your P application server a UNIX flavor? (Solaris, AIX, UX, Linux)
   If yes..
         2. Are you able to see the contents of the file correctly with a "cat" or "vi" command? (at operating system level).
               If no...
                     3. Did you upload the csv flat file to the server via FTP?
                            If yes...
                                 4. Did you use the "binary" or the "ascii" parameter on the FTP command used to upload the file?
Probably you need to upload the CSV file again to your application server and make sure you can se the file contents ("cat" or "vi" command) before trying to execute the InfoPackage.

Francisco Milán.

Cannot find the age in years csv file in the application server

I want to upload the age in years hierarchy from the CSV file AGE_E.CSV that should be available in the application server.
When i try to preview file in the info package, a message is thrown which says that the file does not exist, which means that the perticular file is not present in the application server.

Regards,
Chetana.

transaction AL11 can be used to check the file location.
check DIR_TEMP or DIR_TRANS. or ask basis where the file is put.

Actually I read some already answered posts. But still I have some doubts.
Can anybody please send me the code.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Priya,
Check this code
Yhe logic used here is as follows,
Get all the data into an internal table in the simple format ie: a row with one field contains an entire line
After getting the data, we split each line of the table on every occurrence of the delimiter (comma in your case)
Here, I have named the fields as field01, field02 etc, you could use your own names according to your requirement
parameters: p_file(512).
DATA : BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,
          COL1(1024) TYPE C,
         END OF ITAB,
         WA_ITAB LIKE LINE OF ITAB.
DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB_2 OCCURS 0,
    FIELD01(256),
    FIELD02(256),
    FIELD03(256),
    FIELD04(256),
    FIELD05(256),
    FIELD06(256),
    FIELD07(256),
    FIELD08(256),
    FIELD09(256),
    FIELD10(256),
    FIELD11(256),
    FIELD12(256),
    FIELD13(256),
    FIELD14(256),
    FIELD15(256),
    FIELD16(256),
   END OF ITAB_2.
DATA: WA_2 LIKE LINE OF ITAB_2.
    OPEN DATASET p_FILE FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 8.
      WRITE:/ 'File' , p_FILE , 'cannot be opened'.
      LV_LEAVEPGM = 'X'.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
    WHILE SY-SUBRC <> 4.
      READ DATASET p_FILE INTO WA_ITAB.
      APPEND WA_ITAB TO ITAB.
    ENDWHILE.
    CLOSE DATASET p_FILE.
LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA_ITAB.
    SPLIT WA_ITAB-COL1 AT ','    " where comma is ur demiliter
     INTO WA_2-FIELD01 WA_2-FIELD02 WA_2-FIELD03 WA_2-FIELD04
     WA_2-FIELD05 WA_2-FIELD06 WA_2-FIELD07 WA_2-FIELD08 WA_2-FIELD09

How to save CSV file in application server while making infospoke

How to save CSV file in application server to be used as destination while making infospoke.
Please give the steps.........

Hi
If you want to load your flatfile from Application server,then you need to trasfer your file from your desktop(Computer) to Application server by using FTP.
Try using ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER Function module.
You Just need to give thesource path and the target path
goto SE37 t-code , which is Function module screen, give the function name ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER, on click F8 Execute button.
for path variable give the file path where it resides like C:\users\xxx\desktop\test.csv
for target path give the directory path on Application server: /data/bi_data
remember the directory in Server starts with /.
U have to where to place the file.
Otherwise use 3rd party tools to connect to ur appl server like : Core FTP and Absolute FTP in google.
Otherwise...
Goto the T.code AL11. From there, you can find the directories available in the Application Server.
For example, if you wanna save the file in the directory "DIR_HOME", then you can find the path of the directories in the nearby column. With the help of this, you can specify the target path. Specify the target path with directory name followed by the filename with .CSV extension.
Hope this helps

Send Query Results to Application server in CSV format

HI All,
I need to schedule a query on a regular basis and send the results to Apllication server in csv format(rows will be more than 65,000).
I tried RSCRM_BAPI transaction but i think it has lot of restrictions like, cannot use texts, calculated keyfigures, etc. so cannot use this.
cannot use Infospoke since there are calculated keyfigures in the query.
Information Broadcasting is not setup in my system
Tried WRITEQUERY but it only send the results to Spool, special handling is needed to move the data from spool to Appl. server.
is there any other way i can achive this, is it even possible?
Thanks,
S.B.

I dont know if this helps.
1)You can save the file as a normal CSV file on your desktop.
2) and Based on the ABAP code using ( OPEN DATASET and CLOSE DATASET statements) You can put your file into the application server
but i am not sure if you can use this methodilogy for an automated and continous process

The CSV file on the application server not showing more than 255 characters

Hi All,
We are using SAP 4.6C & the CSV file getting created on the application server has more than 255 characters, all the characters beyond 255 are getting truncated, even while downloading the file the same no. of characters are coming in the file.
Can any one please let me know how can we overcome the problem in SAP 4.6C?

Hi Buddy,
You can't display morethan 255 Char. If you see the fun mod you will see the the limit,I also faced the same problem. Probably you start checking by adding fields one by one or you have to reduce the length of some fields in order to display the full data in CSV.
Thanks,

Regarding uploading the file from Application Server

I am trying to upload a .csv file to Application Server through CG3Z tcode.
But i am getting dump ad below..
What happened?
    While a text was being converted from code page '4102' to '1100', one
    the following occurred:
    - an character was discovered that could not be represented in one of
    the two code pages;
    - the system established that this conversion is not supported.
    The running ABAP program, 'SAPLC13Z' had to be terminated, since the
    conversion could cause incorrect data to be generated.
    1 characters could not be represented (and thus could not converted).
    If 1 = 0, a second or a different error has occurred.
Please let me know..how can i resolve this??
Thanks
Priyanka

Check if your CSV file is UNICODE encoding.
If CG3Z steel not works you can check on OSS SUPPORT if a note solve your problem.
