CSV Output Format.

Hi all,
I have a requirement to provide CSV output with RTF template. When i export, its save in txt format in default. Is ther any other way to save the file directly in CSV format. I have used some codes in rtf to bring dynamic concept. I am using the version 10.1.3.4.1.
Is ther any possible way to change the configuration files, if so please provide some regarding that.
Any other suggestions are also welcome.
Regards,
Vinoth.

How to Generate CSV Output from JD Edwards BI Publisher

Hi All,
I have a report "Critical Date Report" - R15611 in JD Edwards 8.11. This report has to be generated as CSV output from BI Publisher which is embedded to JDE.
The purpose we want use BI Publisher is to move some of the data displaying to different place in the page(ex: Move the company address from top left corner to Bottom right corner).
In order to achieve this
1.We created blank rtf template and upload to XML repository using P95600 application
2.Create report definition using P95620 application
3.Here I see the available output types as PDF,RTF,HTML,EXCEL,POWERPOINT and XML,ETEXT(GRAYED OUT)
Which output type we can use for CSV ?
4.Execute the report definition of the critical date report from P95620 to get the XML source
5.This XML source will be loaded into the blank rtf template
6.From this point no idea how to design the rtf template in order to get the CSV output.
7.We did design and output type as excel - but the result data is not in good formatting and alignment*(Headers and footers are repeating).*
If any one has worked on similar type of requirement,let us know how to do or send a sample XML source,rtf template and how the CSV output will be. Or any document link present in Oracle site will be helpful. Please let me know if you need more details.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Vijay,
For CSV output, you need an E-text template (not RTF) that's why its grayed out! You can use Excel as output type and have (No headers and footers) , then you can open the file in Excel and store it as CSV. Does not always display correctly though.
Why are you compelled to use BI publisher? you can use the JDE standard csv output report, (as is used by most EDI systems) of course this may involve a bit of customization if you wants the fields arranged differently.

Problem in CSV Output

when i am trying look at the csv outpt even if i am not giving the table header row in the template design it is taking some other header rows and displaying it in the output i need just the data in the csv output
how to solve this issue
Can you give me any idea how to proceed on this issue.
Thank you
Have a Nice Day.

If some could specify solution for this, it will be great help for me.
I ll give an example:
if the data model contains 5 columns and if I design template with 2 columns with some aggregation function included .Then if I try to view the same report in csv format, it displays all the 5 columns from the data model without considering the template. But when I try to view the same report in different format (excel, html, pdf, etc) it is displaying as it is uploaded in the bi publisher. So I request someone to give solution for the same
And i want add one more question to this post
when the bi publisher report viewed in a csv format, it includes the column header as well. I want to remove these header from the csv output.

Restricting the CSV Output

Hi
we want to restrict some of the columns in the csv output is there any way to do it other than using extext templates.
Thanks in Advance,
Have a Nice day

Thanks for your reply .
But i am having some idea will it can be implemented.
as you said it will depend on the datamodel .
Consider i am having 2 datasets in my datamodel for my report to get the pdf,html,excel.
so i want to add one more data set in the same data model with llimited number of columns in the select query and i want to use that dataset in the datamodel in the report generation when i choose the csv ouput.
Is it possible i am using bi publisher 11g.
So if it is possbile i can restrict my output in csv format too.
This is my idea i dont know whether it is possible or not.

Customize CSV output?

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to customize CSV output files via XSL? When I specify ContentType=text/csv in a request, MII appears to ignore the StyleSheet parameter. Is this expected behavior?
Specifically, my issue is that I'm trying to customize the CSV output so that null string data appears as blanks, not "---".
Thanks in advance.

All,
When you put that content type on the end, MII knows to look for IllumRowsetCSV.xsl and applies it. This is done behind the scenes, however you can access the system stylesheets and modify them to get the desired result. Then you can apply them as a transform to a query or a transaction.
http://<server>:<port>/XMII/Stylesheets/IllumRowsetCSV.xsl
Hint: Anytime you want to play with stylesheets, you can open a query > Transformation > Load, and see what predefined XSL files that are out there. Just save (using above format) and modify and you save the time of creating one from scratch

Csv output has database column names instead of aliases as in template

Hi,
I'm trying to publish a csv report to an ftp server in a specific format and layout. The column names need to be customized. I've modified the alias name both in the data model and in the rtf layout template. But the csv still contains the data base names as in column0, column 1, etc. Does anyone know how to fix this? The html or rtf format displays the correct column names but not the csv.
output sent:
Column 0 Jane
Column 1 Doe
Column2 Female
desired output:
Name Jane
Last Name Doe
MF Female

As far as i know CSV output will not consider any template formatting. it will basically give output of all the columns used in select statement of SQL in comma separated format.
It is the default behavior of CSV output in bi publisher
Guru's Correct me if i am wrong

CSV output is always blank

Im having trouble with one of the reports im working on. Im allowing the user to select from 3 output formats (PDF, CSV, and Data). If i select the PDF it works perfectly (using an RTF template), and if i select DATA it also works fine and returns XML output. But if i select CSV then it comes back empty. No errors... No messages... Nothing...
I have another report that seems to work fine, including the CSV output. This is why it seems baffling to me. The difference between those 2 reports is that the working one uses a SQL query for its data while the one that doesnt work is using a template. Since the template only contains a single query, i did take it out and tried it as a SQL Query but had the same results (blank page).
Im at a loss for things to try. Without any feedback from Publisher, i have no idea where to go. I know that there is data available because several rows are returned with the PDF and Data outputs.
Any suggestions and/or ideas are definitely welcome.
Thanks

Yes, you wont get the csv,
CSV is supported only if the xml is having rowset/row tags.
Since you have your own tags G_COMPANY, as the groupings, you wont get the csv from BIP.
So, use the query directly in BIP , it will automatically add the rowset/row tag, and csv generated is supported for that.
even in data template it is supported if you put rowset and row tags as the group names.
or
you have to write the e-text template with each field separated by the comma , or desired separator.

CSV Output for Classic Reports 100 columns.

Hi,
After hours of research and several attempts, I still haven't been able to figure out a way to export a report in CSV format. I can't use an Interactive Report as the view I am displaying on the report is larger than 100 columns. Although all the columns are displayed on the report,the CSV Output link doesn't export all the columns. Can anyone help me out? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks a lot.
Werot.

Were we looking at the same page? That page shows an ORACLE PACKAGE that you can modify if need be to get what you want. It's NOT a plugin with wrapped code..
(You need to look for this line in the blob: The source code for the package: as_xlsx)

CSV output/ issue if data contains comma

Hi,
I have a report which I enabled CSV output. Some of the columns in the report, I masked them with the format "FML999G999G999G999G990D00", which is one of the currency formats. I realized that if the numbers are 4 digits or larger, which means they contain a comma in the value ($2,203.02), when I download to a spreadsheet, it masks all values that contain a comma with #####
However, once in the spreadsheet, if I change the format cell, it displays the values correctly.
Is there any way I can get the right value once I open the spreadsheet without having to format the cells to display the right values?
Thanks,

Hi User,
The "#####" that you see in Excel usually means that the column width is too small.
If you need to format the data automatically, try saving the CSV file to disk and then opening it with an Excel Template that reads the data into a formatted workbook automatically..
You will need some VBA code in the Excel auto open macro to pull this off.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Patrick Cimolini

CSV Output numbers

using the CSV output functionality, numbers are exported correctly as numbers to Excel.
I have requirement to control the format of cells in Excel so I cannot use the built-in CSV output.
I have successfully created my own custom procedure to output to Excel. However values which are numeric e.g 7.75 when exported to Excel as text.
The inbuilt CSV output does this correctly. I like to know how it is done that way
Thanks

Any suggestions/comments anyone?

CSV output (export to excel) don't use right code table

CSV output (export to excel) don't use right code table. We use code table
8859-2 (reports and forms are OK). Why export to excel don't use this code table.
Thanks for answers

You could also take the example from my blob that Denes mentioned and instrument it to output in either CSV or HTML. This way, you could have a single procedure that worked for both formats.
All you would need to do is handle each field differently - pad a TD and /TD (with proper brackets, of course) if its HTML or just append a comma if it's CSV.

As we include key figure sets in column of report writer report. First you need to create required Key figure set for your table/structure using T-code GS01.
Go to GR32; give Library name and your reportu2019s name, Click on u2018Columnu2019 button of application toolbar.
You will get the list of column sets, to add new column sets click on + icon (Insert row) displayed in same screen.
Save the report.

Line Feed within the cell in .CSV output file

Hello Experts,
I have created one z-report, and the output of the report is in .CSV file format separated by 'semi-colon' as separator.
Their is one column "Product" in which data is in the format
<b>"[Product1][Product2][Product3][Product4]"</b>
My code looks something like this:
LOOP AT product_new INTO wa_product.
CONCATENATE Prod_str
wa_product-tdline
INTO prod_str.
ENDLOOP.
Our requirment is to insert Line-feed between each product entries within the cell.Line-Feed between each product within the cell is possible with ALT+ENTER key
The output required is
"[Product1](ALT+ENTER)
[Product2](ALT+ENTER)
[Product3](ALT+ENTER)
[Product4]"
I would appreciate if anybody can help me to solve this.. (urgent)
Thanx.

Hi
Go thru these links
Regarding line feed
add line feed to string
When you concatenate try using the abap char utility for newline as well.
i.e CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE.
LOOP AT product_new INTO wa_product.
CONCATENATE Prod_str
wa_product-tdline
CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE.
INTO prod_str.
ENDLOOP.

balaji
