Data Separator

Hi gurus,
I want to upload a flat file in BW 7.0. I am creating the datasource, the problem I have is that the data separator and the thousands separator is the same (.) in the file. I cant upload the file correctly it keeps adding a new field thinking that the only thousands separator I use is a new data field.
Kind Regards
Points will be awarded

Hi John,
One more solution to ur problem:
As u r saying that dot is used as thousand seperator and aslo as a data seperator,
here make use of escape character (") to avoid ur problem.
For example to load 10.000 value as a single value put hat inside escape sigh i.e.., "10.000" so that it may not treat dot as data seperator here.

Problem with Data Separation in SOLMAN 71.

We are using Data Separation in SOLMAN 7.1 SPS10 to control the Solutions that our customers can work with in MOPZ. It works fine in most cases, but we have found some customers that can see the right Solution but, when they search for the associated product versions with the match code, no product appears. We have also found that, if we try to access these product systems from SMSY, no system appears. Taking a look at the product systems with LMDB, the field Business Partner (customer) is empty. I think it is the reason why the systems do not show. But I have tried to change it in the LMDB but, although it lets me assign the correct Partner and save it but, when I close the LMDB and call it again, the field is empty. It seems as if the change was not saved. I have tried to do it also with data separation inactive but, in this case, the field does not even appear in the LMDB. Maybe it has to be changed somewhere else, not here. Has anybody had this problem? Any help wil be appreciated.
Best regards,
Jose

Hola Lluis,
I have applied the note that you suggested, but it did not solve the problem. It is strange because, in the Product System Editor, when I add the BP and save, if I go back to the LMDB initial screen and select again the same system, or even a different system, and then go back to the one I have modified, it still shows the right BP. But once I close the LMDB windows and call it again, the BP has disappeared.
Thanks anyway for your help,
Jose

How to save an excel file as CSV with semi-colon as data separator?

We are creating a flat data file to load the flat file data to our BW system with Excel. When we save the file, there are three kinds of CSV types for selecting from the "Save as type" list box:
CSV (Comma delimited)
CSV (Macintosh)
CSV (MS-DOS)
There is no CSV (semi colon delimited) type. If we pick CSV (Comma delimted) as the type, then when clicking the "Preview ..." picture icon under the "DataSource/Trans. Structure" tab of the InfoSource for this flat file (with the CSV radio button checked the Data separator default is ";"), the File Upload Preview window shows the data is messed up that some columns of the excel flat file are combined into one column.
Since the save type we picked is "CSV (Comma delimited)", then we try to change the default Data separator from ";" to "," in the preview selection screen, but still not helpful!
How to resolve the above problem?
Thanks

Hi Kevin,
This "," is defined in your windows setting. If you want to have ";" as separator then go to control Panel, select Regional Options, go to Numbers Tab and define the List separator as ";". After that when you will save your excel file as CSV(MS-DOS) it will have ";" as separator. This will make sure that the amounts are not broken in to two different fields while loading.
Else if you keep "," as separator then you can also go into the Excel and define all number fields as Number without thousand separator.
Let me know if you have any doubts in this.

Rohit

Data Separator as semi colon in .CSV

Hi Guru's,
Will it be a problem if I use semi colon as data separator rather than using a comma????

Hi Ganesh,
I think that you are working with a Source System Which is type of File System, right?
so that if your CSV file has its Data Seperator with a semi colon... it's ok.
you just have to configure one thing in your infoPackage (Which used to load data from the CSV file).
Double click on this infoPakage to open it.
Open the tab "External Data".
In the "File type" choose CSV file.
In the "Data Seperator" you just type ";".
That's all. Then you can load any CSV file with the Data Separator as semi colon.

Change date format in EP when introduce values with "/" as date separator

Hi experts,
We have ECC 6 EHP3 with Enterprise Portal 7 SP 18. We instal BP_ERP5ESS
1.31 SP 4.0, BP_ERP5COM 1.31 SP 4.0, BP_ERP5MSS 1.31 SP 4.0, SAP_ESS
603 SP 4.12 and SAPPCUI_GP 603 SP 4.1
We activate the Travel Management (FIN_TRAVEL_1) business function, so
we use WD ABAP for travel expenses.
The issue is when in the Portal, go to Travel and Expenses and create a
new travel request or a new expense report and introduce the values of
the date with "/" as separator. The system changes the date format, and
change the days for months and months for days, DD/MM/YYYY change to
MM/DD/YYYY. For example if we introduce 31/12/2009, the system change
to 12/31/2009 and gives an error.
If we introduce with "." as separator, 31.12.2009, it works fine, don´t change days for months, so it seems that is not a problem of language settings.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance,
Manuel

Hi,
You can check the date formate in the portal.........
log in by the Super Super give the user name ...........and check the details..........
in there in the 1st ..view you can set the date formate..............

Multithreading - Keeping Data separated between threads

I am new to multithreading. I am taking some code that was created in CVI 6.0 (as a exe.). TestStand would call the wrappers which in turned call these functions. The CVI functions has several structures which are global. Now, if I call a teststep into several threads, will the data be separated between the threads, or would they be using the same data. I am trying to understand how the data is handled within the same DLL, but different threads. Each Thread is running the same function.

Hello James,
When you use DLLs, global variables or global structures are shared between all threads that call your DLL. On t he other hand, variables or structures you declare inside the function scope are not shared.

How to load flat file containing data(separated by commas) into cube sapbi.

hi gurus,
please help me with this question?
i have some data in the flat file for example, address but with commas for ex:
h.no:123,colony,area,hyd-59.now i have even other columns in this flat file like customer name,age.....i want to know ,how to load this data into infocube. where in when it comes to address column sap bi takes it as a single column in the generated report.

Hi Amulya,
To get reports on all ur records save ur flat file in .CSV format -> to do this open ur flat file, save as "filename.csv".
-> CSV is nothing but comma seperator value, sap supports two types of formats 1).csv and 2) ASCII format.
we prefer .csv format.
check this link for step by step modelling.

How to import data from CSV file with columns separated by semicolon?

I migrate database from MS SQL 2008 to ORACLE 11g
I export data to CSV file from MS SQL
then I try to import it to Oracle
several tables goes fine using Import data option in the SQL Developer
Standard CSV files with data separated by comma were imported.
chars, date (with format string), and integer data are imported via import wizard without problems
the problems were when I try to import table with noninteger numbers with modal part separated by comma not by dot
comma is the standard separator for columns in CSV file
so I must change the standard separator to semicolon
then the import wizard have problem to correct recognize the columns data because it use only standard CSV comma separator :-/
In SQL Developer 1.5.3 Tools -> Preferences -> Migration -> Data Move Options
I change "End of Column Delimiter" to ; but it doens't work
Is this possible to change the standard column separator for import data wizzard in SQL Developer 1.5.3?
Or maybe someone know how to import data in SQL Developer 1.5.3 from CSV when CSV colunn separator is set to semicolon?

A new preference has been added to customize the import delimiter in main code line. This should be available as part of future release.

Separating a date read in from a file...

I have a file which contains dates of birth in the form of 3 integers on each line, if I want to read in this line from the file and separate each (day,month,year), what is the easiest/best way to do this?
The 'day' part of the date can either be stored as 1 or 2 digits depending on the date, same with the 'month', and the 'year' can either be stored as 2 digits or 4 digits. I was thinking of using substrings to get each part but obviously seeing as this is the case it would not work.
Each part of the date is separated by a space.
I also need to convert each part of the date to an integer.

read in each line to a string and then use the String method split(" ") using the space as the delimiter. This will create an array of 3 strings (if there are three bits of data separated by spaces). You may have to trim these, then parse them. I'd look at the simpledateformat class as well.

Separating data combined in a string with a ";" delimiter

I have a couple fields from my file that contain data separated by a semicolon (AddOn and AddOnChg). Field is formatted as a string. How can I parse out the one component that has a value in order to be able to add up the values in the report?
InvcNum InvcDate AddOn AddOnChg
00113138 5/2/07 IFRTN;;;; 421.93;0;0;0;0

Post Author: SKodidine
CA Forum: General
You can use the split function, however if you want to know which component has a value, you might have to loop through the field. Hopefully there are set number of separators for each field.
For example,
stringvar x := 'IFRTN;;;;'
split(x,';')[1] will give you IFRTN and split(x,';')[2] will give you empty field.

How to retrieve all the data from a BLOB using view-generated accessor

I am using JDeveveloper 10g v. 10.1.3 and am storing an image in a database as a blob object and need to retrieve all of the data to get the entire image and store it in an ImageIcon. The code I have works partially in that it retrieves the correct data, but only gets a piece of it, leaving me with a partial image.
AppModuleImpl am;
ImageVwViewImpl vo;
am = (AppModuleImpl)panelBinding.getDataControl().getDataProvider();
vo = (ImageVwViewImpl)am.findViewObject("ImageVwView");
ImageVwViewRowImpl ivo = (ImageVwViewRowImpl)vo.getCurrentRow();
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(ivo.getImage().getBytes(1, (int)ivo.getImage().getBufferSize()));
jULabel1.setIcon(icon);I either need to know how to use a stream to get the data out (from BlobDomain method getBinaryStream()), or how to get the other chunks of data separately.
edit: I know the problem is that getBufferSize() returns an int which is too small to hold all the data, but need to know what to use instead. Thanks!

This is the code I'm using now. Same problem :(
AppModuleImpl am;
        ImageVwViewImpl vo;
        am = (AppModuleImpl)panelBinding.getDataControl().getDataProvider();
        vo = (ImageVwViewImpl)am.findViewObject("ImageVwView");
        ImageVwViewRowImpl ivo = (ImageVwViewRowImpl)vo.getCurrentRow();
        ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(ivo.getImage().toByteArray());
        jULabel1.setIcon(icon);

How to get data from application server

hi experts,
when i load data from application server(.csv file) to ODS, data all goes one column.
in infopackage exterdata tabstrip i have given the below values.
escape sign is "
data separator is ,
separator for thousands is ,
my sample data:

"1010000";"A410";"04.2008";"93.1146410"
any ideas..
Siri

Hi Siri,
You should look in the T.Code :RSCUSTV1
BW:Settings for Flat File
Thousand separator
Dec. point separator
Field separator
Field delimiter
Then you can use the Same Characterstics while creating the Flat file & also passing the same in Info Package
This will resolve your issue
