Delimited File
Hi,
I'm trying to generate a tab delimited file thru my report server. I have specified the Desname and the Desformat(&desformat= DELIMTED) with &destype=FILE . Although the report says "Report output generated to requested destination", I'm not able to locate the file anywhere on my machine ! Has anyone encountered this problem before ?? Is there any way I can generate a delimited file as well as show the report on the browser ?? I'm running reports 6i
There is no magic pixie dust you can sprinkle over a set of data and turn it into a new format. However, all things are possible. Which approach you need to take depends on a number of things:{list]
[*]What version of the database are you using?
[*]Do you want to validate the XML against a schema or a DTD?
[*]Is the data hierarchical or flat?
[list]
Cheers, APC

Upload tab-delimited file from the application server to an internal table
Hello SAPients.
I'm using OPEN DATASET..., READ DATASET..., CLOSE DATASET to upload a file from the application server (SunOS). I'm working with SAP 4.6C. I'm trying to upload a tab-delimited file to an internal table but when I try load it the fields are not correctly separated, in fact, they are all misplaced and the table shows '#' where supposedly there was a tab.
I tried to SPLIT the line using as separator a variable with reference to CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB but for some reason that class doesn't exist in my system.
Do you know what I'm doing wrong? or Do you know a better method to upload a tab-delimited file into an internal table?
Thank you in advance for your help.Try:

And this is split by tab delimited and moved to other variables as shown above.
Please guide me how to read the contents without "#' from the file.
I have tried all possible ways and unable to get solution.
Thanks,
ShrikanthHi ,
In ECC 6 if all the unicode patches are applied then UTF 16 will defintly work..
More over i would suggest you to ist replace # with some other * or , and then try to see in debugging if any further # appears..
and no # appears then try to split now.
if even now the # appears after replace statement then try to find out what exactly is it... wheather it is a horizantal tab etc....
and then again try to replace it and then split..
Please follow the process untill all the # are replaced...
This should work for you..
Let me know if you further face any issue...

To import addresses, need format of tab delimited file
I am trying to import addresses from my G3 PB Mozilla App. I exported addresses on G3 to both ldif and tab-delimited files and then attached to an email message which I sent to myself. I received email on Mac mini, but the 2 files showed up inline, not as attachments. I copied the ldif portion to a text file; ditto for tab-delimited. I tried importing into Address Book, but got message that format was not valid.
Can't I just edit the tab-delimited file in TextEdit, save as RTF, and get Address Book to recognize the data?
Thanks,

How to export data from a Oracle table to a delimited file?
I know how to load delimited file into a table, but how to export
data from a Oracle table to a delimited file?
Thanks in advance.Try looking at this link, it's long but there's three different solutions discussed in it. If you look at Barbara Boehmer's
solution in her posts in the link below you'll see that she's addressed your concerns with spool files.

Urgent + Search a delimited file for more then one string
Hi All
Urgent please help I am trying to search a file for 2 different strings.
This is how the command prompt will look like
java match "-t|" -4 -f Harvey -10 -f Atlanta callbook.txtPlease help me with identifying how many search criterias have been entered on command prompt.
"-t|" - denotes a delimiter
-4 - denotes the field number
-f - case sensitive
ThanksHi
Thanks for your quick response and I apologise I will never put urgent on my posting again.
C:\>java match "-t|" -4 -f Harvey -10 -f Atlanta callbook.txt
This example lists records for Atlanta with first name Harvey.
I am able to get one search criteria but when I have 2 as above (Harvey and Atlanta) I get lost I do not know how to get these arguments from the commandline and still do a search correctly. My code at the moment is doint a hard coded search so I was trying to extract the arguments that's where I got stuck.
The main aim of my app is to search a delimited file for a search criteria passed through a command prompt.
This is what I have done so far.
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class assess1
static public void main(String args[])
int[] totals = new int[10];
try
BufferedReader inFile = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(args[0]) );
try
String line;
String StrSearch = "HARVEY";
int counter = 0;
boolean foundIt = false;
while((line = inFile.readLine()) != null)
// search for the string
String[] values = line.split("\\|");
for (String str : values) {
if (str.equals("HARVEY")) {
System.out.println(line);
System.out.println();
counter++;
if (counter == 0) {
System.out.println("String not found");
inFile.close();
catch(IOException e)
System.err.println("IO exception");
System.exit(1);
catch(NumberFormatException e)
System.err.println("Value " + e.getMessage() + "not numeric");
catch(FileNotFoundException e)
System.err.println( "Couldn't open " + e.getMessage() );
System.exit(1);

Which CKM is used for moving data from Oracle to delimited file ?
Hi All
Please let me know Which CKM is used for moving data from Oracle to delimited file ?
Also is there need of defining each columns before hand in target datastore. Cant ODI take it from the oracle table itself ?Addy,
A CKM is a Check KM which is used to validate data and log errors. It is not going to assist you in data movement. You will need an LKM SQL to File append as answered in another thread.
Assuming that you have a one to one mapping, to make things simpler you can duplicate the Oracle based model and create a file based model. This will take all the column definitions from the Oracle based model.
Alternatively, you can also use an ODI tool odiSQLUnload to dump the data to a file

Import text into a form from a tab delimited file using an action
Good evening.
I am using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro
I have been working all weekend so far on this, and have tried many options.
What I am wanting is to import a line of data from an excel file into a form, save the file with a name drived from the form fields, close the new file, then go back to the original file, import a line of data, and so on and so on.
I had all of this working in livecyle with a tool, but now that we are going to Windows 8 and Microsoft Office 2013, the driver that I need to load the excel file into the form is not available--so now I have to redo the forms in Adobe and import using a tab delimited file.
I would like to do this with an action.
Thus far, I have the following.
**Credit goes to George Johnson who helped me with the script to save the file using field names a few months ago**
To start, I have a folder level script
mySaveAs = app.trustPropagatorFunction(function(doc,path)
app.beginPriv();
var myDoc = event.target;
myDoc.saveAs(path);
app.endPriv();
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc = app.trustedFunction(function(doc,path)
//privileged and/or non-privileged code above
app.beginPriv();
mySaveAs(doc, path);
app.endPriv
//Privileged and/or non-privileged code below
For the Action, I start with the Form file loaded
Then I execute a javascript to import the text into the file.
this.importTextData("/c/data/clerical.txt");
The next step is to save the file using field names as part of the file name
--credit goes to George Johnson who assisted me with this on a similar project a few months ago.
//Get the Field Value
var fn=getField("Last").valueAsString + "-" + getField("First").valueAsString;
//Specify the folder
var fldr = "/c/data/";
//Determine the full path
var fp=fldr + fn + ".pdf";
//save the file
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc(this, fp);
That is as far as I have gotten.
What I want to do now is load the original form file, import the next line into the form, save the file, repeat.
If anyone could assist me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you so much for your response.
Yes--there are multiple lines in the data file--it will vary from month to month. It looks like from what you are saying is that I need to do the global variable since it will constantly change, and then increment it as it goes through the text file. When it reaches the end, then it will stop.
I looked at the following links--but this is from Adobe 9 API--I don't know if things have changed with XI--especially since 9 used batch processing and XI has actions.

How to convert Mail attachment file Tab Delimited file to XML.
Hi PI Experts
I have XI scenario: MAIL XI SAP (ABAP Proxy), the process is
1. XI will receive tab delimited file as attachment in mail.
2. XI will convert the tab delimited file into XML, then map to the target structure.
3. Target will be posted into ECC through ABAP Proxy.
Can anyone help me how can I convert the attachment file (i.e. Tab delimited file) to XML while configuring the sender side.
Thanks in AdvanceI just grabed what I answered from another thread. It should work.
Processing sequence as follows:
1. localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean Local Enterprise Bean swap1
2. localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean Local Enterprise Bean tran1
3. sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean Local Enterprise Bean mail
Module Configuration as follows: Fill the XXXX part with your info.
swap1 swap.keyName payload-name
swap1 swap.keyValue MailAttachment-1
tran1 Transform.Class com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.Conversion
tran1 Transform.ContentType ext/xml;charset=utf-8
tran1 xml.conversionType SimplePlain2XML
tran1 xml.documentName XXXXXXX_Mail
tran1 xml.documentNamespace http://XXXXX.com.au/XXXX
tran1 xml.fieldSeparator \t
tran1 xml.processFieldNames fromConfiguration
tran1 xml.structureTitle rows
Once you set up the above configuration, you will get one record at a time.
Create a souce message interface like the followings:
XXXXXXXXX_Mail
rows
record
Target message interface:
XXXXXXXXX
rows
field 1
field 2
field 3
Write a UDF function to remove the TAB space
public removeTABSpace(String record,Container container){
//write your code here
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(record,"\t",false);
String t="";
while (st.hasMoreElements()) t += st.nextElement();
return t;
Write another UDF to get the field 1 for example:
public String getField1(String input,Container container){
int counter=0;
int beginIndex=0;
int endIndex=0;
int i;
for (i=0;i<input.length();i++){
if (input.charAt(i)==34){
counter=counter+1;
if (counter==1){
beginIndex=i+1;
counter=0;
break;
for (i=0;i<input.length();i++){
if (input.charAt(i)==34){
counter=counter+1;
if (counter==2){
endIndex=i;
counter=0;
break;
input=input.substring(beginIndex,endIndex);
return input;
Get the mapping like the followings:
record - removeTABSpace - getField1 - field 1
If you need to get field 2, you will need to write another UDF similar to the above one to handle it. -
How to skip line for delimited file type?
Hi, i wanna ask how to skip (example: the first two line) for delimited file type?
Thanks...
Here is my script
Function NY_Skip06Center [strField, strRecord]
' FDM DataPump Import Script:
'Created by: FDM_Admin
'Date created: 2/28/2006
Dim strEntity
'Check first two characters of entity
For strEntity = 1 to 6
'Skip line
Res.PblnSKip = True
Next strEntity
End if
End Function
But it returns this error when imported
Error: An error occurred importing the file.
Detail: Object variable or With block variable not set
Anyone knows what's wrong

Edited by: user649207 on Mar 19, 2010 3:04 AMstrAcc = DW.Utilities.fParseString (strField, 1, 1, chr(9))
I didn't look closely enough last time. The above is illogical. The parsestring function parses a string based on a delimiter.
The function has these arguments:
String to Parse
How many fields are in the string
The parsed field to return
Field delimiter
In the above, strField is returning the field specified in your import format. You are also saying that there is a total of 1 field. If that were the case, you wouldn't need to parse anything.
I am guessing that your call needs to look something more like this:
strAcc = DW.Utilities.fParseString (*strRecord*, *8*, 1, chr(9))
Make sense?
If not, maybe you can include a few sample lines from your data file and that will make it easier to help you.
Is your import format fixed or delimited? -
Formatting a tab delimited file
Hello All,
I am populating a tab delimited text file with data from a resultset and I'm having problems lining up the columns properly. I tried using tabs, but the variable length of some of the entries are messing up the positioning of the data. Is there a way to create tab delimited fixed length fields with column headers? or is there some better way to do this in general?
Thanks,
JamesI got it working using StringBuffers. Where I missed it was that the formatting of the text of the report originally didn't work under the
code. It was being automatically formatted when it was passed as a message in an email under javamail. I had forgotten that Outlook will do that on it's own. When I tried to make the report an attachment, the defect in the formatting became apparent.
I also got it working (better solution) using POI. That way the attachment is an .xls file, rather than tab-delimited file.
FYI,

Opening a tab delimited file and replacing a space
Hi,
I am trying to open a tab delimited file with 4 columns and corresponding values under it. If no value under the column, 0 should be replaced. I used the StringTokenizer and the split methods, but this doesnt seem to work. Any ideas?
E.g
Title1 Title2 Title3
4 7
5 2
SHould be like this:
Title1 Title2 Title3
4 0 7
0 5 2
Thanks..The answer, however, is no. Java is a strongly typed
language; there is no predefined manner in which a
String object can be casted to an Integer object
because a String is not an Integer.
However, if you'd like to create an Integer based on
the contents of a String, you can pass the String to
the Integer.parseInt(String) method. That method
will do one of two things: return the Integer object
representing the integer contained within the String
(if the String represents an Integer) or throw a
NumberFormatException (if the String is not an
Integer).Hi,
Thanks tvynr for your reply. Ok first things, sorry, I had written that post in a hurry. Yes i dont usually put capital letters for my fields. Also i did mean using the add method. Not the get..
And yes I have tried various different type castings. Just to see if one of them would work. And yes i did try Integer.parseInt() by passing in the string to get back its contents as an integer. *And yes the String content is an integer.
Heres a snippet of my code -
List ArrScore1 = new ArrayList(); //List to store Score in one Array
List ArrScore2 = new ArrayList(); //List to store same Scores in another Array. FOr comparisions
List SCORES = new ArrayList();
int dist1,dist2 = 0;
float distance,percent;
while ((record = br.readLine())!= null) //To read from a file line by line from first line
recCount++;
String rec = record;
String [] ScoreScop = rec.split("\t");
ArrScore1.add(ScoreScop[4]));
ArrScore2.add(ScoreScop[4]);
} //End of While loop
System.out.println("Total Records: " + recCount);
for (int i=0; i<ArrScore1.size(); i++)
for (int j = i + 1; j < ArrScore2.size(); j++)
dist1 = Integer.parseInt(ArrScore2.get(j)); //Error I get here is is Cannot resolve symbol. What does this mean exactly?
dist2 = Integer.parseInt(ArrScore1.get(i)); //Same error
distance = dist1/dist2;
percent = distance * 100;
SCORES.add(percent); //Again same error
} //End of j loop
} // End of i loop
I have included all the necessary packages as well. Including :
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;Any idea what I am doing wrong here? -
Inserting a tab delimited file
Hi there,
I am inserting data into a database from text files. I can easily do this in sql with csv files but I need to be able to do it with tab delimited files. I know you can do this from the built in Oracle tool (I am using express edition) but I was wandering if anyone know how to write a script for it in sql.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ThanksIf you are using SQL Loader to load the data use below syntex
FIELDS TERMINATED BY X'9'
The X'9' is Hexadecimal Format -> X
and Hex 9 is the ASCII code of the TAB character.
Check out the link for more details:
