    How to get summary columns in delimited text file
    I am trying to generate a delimited text file output with delimited_hdr = no.The report is a Group above report with summary columns at the bottom.In the text file the headers are not getting repeated & thats ok.The problem is the summary data is getting repeated for each row of data.Is there a way where i will get all the data & summary data will get displayed only once.I have to import the delimited text file in excel spreadsheet.

    Sorry there were a typos :
    When I used desformat=DELIMITEDDATA with desttype=FILE, I get error "unknown printer driver DELIMITEDDATA". When you look for help, DELIMITED is not even listed as one of the values for DESTFORMAT. But if you scroll down and look for DELIMITER it says , this works only in conjuction with DESTFORMAT=DELIMITED !!!!!!??!! This is in 9i.
    Has this thing worked for anybody ? Can anyone please tell if they were able to suppress the sumary columns or the parent columns of a master-detail data for that matter ?

  • How to use Automator to batch convert xls/xlsx files into tab OR pipe delimited text file.

    If you have answer, please provide specific and detailed steps.
    Situation 1:
    Start:
    150+ files in .xls OR .xlsx format
    data contains many characters EXCEPT "Tab"
    Process:
    Use Automator to:
    Select Files from Finder window
    Convert selected files from xls/xlsx to TAB-DELIMITED file format
    End:
    150+ files in .txt format
    files have identical names to those from "Start:"
    data is TAB-DELIMITED
    Situation 2:
    Start:
    150+ files in .xls OR .xlsx format
    data contains many characters EXCEPT | (pipe, vertical bar)
    Process:
    Use Automator to:
    Select Files from Finder window
    Convert selected files from xls/xlsx to |-delimited file format
    End:

    If your post is addressed to my response then the answer is you have to write your own or search on-line to see if something exists to do what you want.
    As you note there is no pre-built script for this.

  • How do I save a Number file to an delimited text file

    I was trying to import all my conatct that I created from Number to iList, I kept on failing, after I did some reaserch, and found out I need to save to an delimited text file. Can anybody help me? Or if anyone can direct me from import an Number file into iList, it would be wonderful, please help.
    Thank again

    You have a couple of options to convert the data to a tab-delimited file. The easist may be to copy the table from Numbers & paste it into a Pages word processing document. From there you can export it as a plain text file which you can then import.
    Jerry,
    IList Data is a database app that may be a solution for those moving from AppleWorks. It's more than Bento & less than FileMaker.

  • XML Column from table extract to Pipe Delimited Text File

    Hi,
    I have an XML column with large data in a Table ( Source SQL server Database).
    I was asked to   extract    XML column to .txt file using SSIS.
    Is it possible to extract xml column with huge data to text file ?
    when I tried,  select XML column from Table in source , I noticed  that Property of column is taken as [DT_NTEXT] . I Converted it to DT_TEXT as Ansi donot support DT_NTEXT.
    Execution method was success but it failed due to trucation. so wondering is there a way to get XML column extracted to Pipe delimited text file?
    Is it advisable to do this ? or IS It Valid to export XML in Pipe Delimited File ?
    Please Kindly advice
    thanks
    kodi

    Are you looking at shredding data within XML nodes and then importing it to text file or are you looking at exporting XML value as is? Also is SSIS a necessity?
    If not, You can simply use T-SQL for this along with bcp for this. just use a query like
    EXEC xp_cmdshell 'bcp "SELECT CAST(XMLColumn AS varchar(max)) AS Column FROM table" queryout <full file path> -c -S <ServerName> -T -t |'
    provided you use trusted connection (windows authentication)
    see
    http://visakhm.blogspot.in/2013/10/bcp-out-custom-format-data-to-flat-file.html
    If you want to shred the data use Xpath functions in the query as below

  • OPEN DATASET output to Tab delimited text file???

    Can anyone suggest the best way for downloading a TAB DELIMITED text file to the application server using open dataset.
    I'm currently downloading the file, but I find that it puts "#"'s in place of empty numeric fields.
    any help appreciated,
    Lee

    Hi Lee,
      System identifies Tab delimited as #.
      But its not a problem.
      If you wang to download the data into intenal table,
    you need to do declare delimiter.
      Refer code:
    CONSTANTS:  c_split TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab,
               c_hash         TYPE c          VALUE '#'.
    data:wa_input_rec  TYPE char2000.
      OPEN DATASET p_appl IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT FOR INPUT.
        IF sy-subrc = 0.
          DO.
            READ DATASET p_appl INTO wa_input_rec.
            IF sy-subrc <> 0.
              EXIT.
            ELSE.
    *-- Split the Tab # into corresponding Columns fields.
              PERFORM f0056_split_records.
              APPEND wa_input_file TO i_input_file.
              CLEAR: wa_input_rec, wa_input_file.
            ENDIF.
          ENDDO.
    FORM f0056_split_records .
      CLEAR wa_input_file.
      SPLIT wa_input_rec AT c_split INTO

    you can do that by using SQLCMD

    you can also use BCP 
    EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "select * from tempdb.dbo.orders" queryout "c:\output.txt" -c -T'
    EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "exec usertest.dbo.proctest" queryout "c:\output.txt" -c -T'

  • Reading Tab Delimited Text File

    HI
    I am having problem in reading Tab Delimited text file.
    If i place some spaces in name of text file. it dosn`t read the file.
    if there is a simple name without space, then it reads easily.
    but when having space in file name then it shows nothing.
    PLZ help me .......
    give me some code or links to solution
    thanks!

    Could you post up an example of the file? With a FedEx report file, I created an application to read each line and split the String into an array where ever a [tab] exists. Since the columns aren't evenly tabbed, I used a regular expression to replace any whitespace in a with a \t (tab). Now it takes that line and splits it into an array where the [tab] exists. Then I access that specific column in the String by line.

  • Efficent method to sort data from tab delimited text file

    I am currently writing a program to sort through data that was acquired and display it on a graph and some other indicators.  The file is a tab delimited text file with possibly 100,000s of data points.  the current method that I have tried using was that if I wanted all of the data from Oct, I would parse out the month from the timestamp, compare that to the desired month, and add it to the array if it is the same.  Other possible options of sorting are yearly and daily, possibly even hourly.
    The method does work, however it does take some time (up to a minute on a P4 3.6 GHz with 2 gb ram), and most of the other computers are not nearly as fast or with as much memory.  Is there a more efficent method to sorting the data??
    I attached my sorting vi as well as a sample data file.
    thanks for the advice.  It is saved in LV8.0.1

    First of all, "sorting" has usually a different meaning (Sorting and numeric array ascending or descending, a string array aphabetically, etc.). Your data already seems sorted by date and time, you just want to pick a subset having certain characteristics.
    The main problem that is slowing you down is your constant growing of large arrays. This causes constant memory reallocations.
    Since your data is already sorted by date and time, all you need is to place your data in a sutable data structure, find the start and end point of your selection, then use "array subset" for example.
    Your code also seems to have a lot of unecessary complexity. See for example your "test for sort data" (see image below).
    the four cases only differ by filename --> only the file name belongs into the case and the file operation outside the inner case. Even better, just use autoindexing.
    that shift register does not do anything, because it always contains the same data. Using "index array" with index wired to [i] is equivalent to an autoindexing tunnel.
    You have a case structure to select which files to read, skipped files give you an empty array. Do you really need to do all these operations on an empty array. Why not place all code inside the TRUE case??
    Below is an image of one possible code alternative that addresses some of these points.

  • Small doubt  reg upload from tab delimited text file

    Hi  all,
    i am uploading a tab delimited text file to a ztable.
    I moving the text file in to internal table
    data : begin of i_tab occurs 0,
           text(1024) type c,
           end of i_tab.
    then i have passed to FM GUI_UPLOAD.
    and then splitting
    loop at i_tab.
    split i_tab at con_tab
                              into i_xyz-matnr
                                   i_xyz-werks.
        append i_xyz.
    endloop..
    is this the right approach . iam getting the results but iam just curious to know.
    Do i need to internal like the one i created
    data : begin of i_tab occurs 0,
           text(1024) type c,
           end of i_tab.
    or do i need to create one with field that i have in text file.
    data : begin of i_tab occurs 0,
       matnr like mara-matnr,
      werks like marc-werks
    end of i_tab.
    WHICH ONE OF THE TWO IS RIGHT.
    THANKS IN ADVANCE

    There will be NO difference,i guess in the 2 methods.
    you can use which you like.
    Check the below program,i also given quantity fields F2,F3.
    its working fine
    REPORT  ZSRIM_TEMP13.
    data : begin of itab occurs 0,
             f1(20) type c,
             f2     type i,
             f3(10)     type p DECIMALS 2,
           end of itab.
           CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
             EXPORTING
               FILENAME                      = 'c:a.txt'

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    To upload text file with tab delimated you can use FM
    GUI_OPLOAD.
    In this function you have put X in the field HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR.

  • Tab Delimited Text File to be Emailed (External Email ID) from SAP

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to email a tab delimited text file as an attachment to external email id from SAP. The text file is of line with type string and the length of each line is about 1024 char size. Can you please suggest me a suitable solution to this requirement? It looks like the FM: SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 can handle a text file of 255 char length. I am not sure how to attach a text file of records with length more than 1025 char size.
    Appreciate your help in advance.
    Thanks,
