Delimiter for .xls file in lsmw

Hi, I am developing an lsmw..and the flat file is in the form of .xls file..so when sepcifying hte file it asks for the delimiter.what should i give for delimiter if my flat file is a .xls file?
i would reward points for the helpful answers.

If you see your XLS file in notepad/wordpad, you can see there is nothing like u have written in ur XLS sheet. U will see file with special characters.
So I think that's the reason you can not use FM : GUI_UPLOAD for uploading file from PC to SAP.
You have to use FM : TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP.
In LSMW, this FM is not used.
So you have to save contents of ur XLS sheet to a text file then you 'll be able to do ur normal operation.

"Cannot interpret data in file" error while using GUI_UPLOAD for .xls file

Hi,
 I have made a program using FM GUI_UPLOAD to upload an .xls file to an internal table. But upon executing ,it gives error "Cannot Interpret data in file". I have seen in other posts people talking about GUI_UPLOAD FM to upload data from excel directly into internal table. Kindly help.
Here is my code. I had tried using different combination for HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR but still its not working.
In my emp1.xls file , the data in each column is present in the same order as in the internal table. Although the first column in my internal table is NUMC. I dont know if that is causing the problem.

Invalid Mimetype Detection for .xls file with CF10

After upgrading to CF10, we are having issues getting our server to properly recognize any mimetype associated with the .xls file extension. For some odd reason, the server is viewing them as a word file type and rejecting it.
When we upload a file with the .xls extension, the server responds back with the following error message:
"The MIME type or the Extension of the uploaded file application/msword was not accepted by the server. Only files of type application/excel,application/vnd.ms-excel,application/x-excel,application/x-msexcel,appl ication/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet can be uploaded. Verify that you are uploading a file of the appropriate type. The error type is Application."
Our only workaround for the time being is uploading all files in the newer .xlsx format, which the server properly accepts. As you will see from the above error message, those are the mimetypes I have thus far. The other work around is updating the tika jar files which I have included more details in my bug report link below, but that is a solution we are steering off of until we get further confirmation on the solution.
I've reported this possible bug to Adobe, but of course it will be weeks or months before a confirmation or response is made on it since there are countless other bugs / feature requests that are still unanswered. So I'm reaching out to the community in efforts to see if anyone else may have received the same issue or could see what we may be doing wrong.
Link to bug report with more details: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3343364

If you guys want to replicate this in your local environment, it's very easy using the steps I outlined in my bug report. Please report back on your results. I would love to see if other users experience the same or different.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create cfset tags to specify what type of files and mime types are allowed for user uploads.
<cfset uploadFileFilter = ".xls,.xlsx" />
<cfset uploadFileMimeType = "application/excel,application/vnd.ms-excel,application/x-excel,application/x-msexcel,app lication/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet" />
2. Define where the file will be uploaded to using the cffile attribute. (Change destination to the same directory of where you are creating the current .cfm file below)
<cffile action = "upload"
fileField = "fileupload"
destination = "C:\test\"
accept = "#uploadFileMimeType#"
nameConflict = "MakeUnique">
3. Finally create a simple form that allows the user to upload files.
<cfform enctype="multipart/form-data">
<cfinput accept="#uploadFileMimeType#" type="file" name="FileContents">
 
<cfinput type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload File">
</cfform>
4. Open excel, enter any data, and save it as an .xls file.
5. Submit it to the form.
Final code
<cfset uploadFileFilter = ".xls,.xlsx" />
<cfset uploadFileMimeType = "application/excel,application/vnd.ms-excel,application/x-excel,application/x-msexcel,app lication/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet" />
<cfif isDefined("Form.FileContents") >
 <cffile action = "upload"
 fileField = "FileContents"
 destination = "C:\EnterLocalPathHere\"
 accept = "#uploadFileMimeType#"
 nameConflict = "MakeUnique">
<cfelse>
 <cfform enctype="multipart/form-data">
 <cfinput accept="#uploadFileMimeType#" type="file" name="FileContents">
 
 <cfinput type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload File">
 </cfform>
</cfif>

Text no longer prints for xls files from preview

After upgrade to Mavericks xls files no longer print text or save it into pdf files. The text is visible on the preview screen in print but does not get transfered into the files or to the printer. I deleted and reloaded the printers in preferences and reset the PRAM. That did not solve this issue.

Numbers suitable for xls files?

Is it possible to import Excel files in Numbers and subsequently work on them?
If not, which app should I use?

Numbers can import Excel spreadsheets, though Numbers for iPad cannot handle all the formulas and formatting Excel can. There is an FAQ page here that you should look over before deciding:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4067
There are other apps that can import and edit Excel spreadsheets. Documents To Go from Dataviz is one that is commonly recommended, and you may find others if you search the iPad forums for "Excel".

Using Escape character for Multi character delimiter for flat files in IKM

Hi
I have an IKM using Jython, it is working fine for single character delimiter. But as per requirement I have to use multicharacter delimiter ;" (semi colon and double quotes).
I am taking this into variable using
filesep = "<%=snpRef.getSrcTablesList("", "[SFILE_SEP_FIELD]", "", "")%>"
but it is giving lexical error.
Can anybody help me with the use of escape character in current scenario?
Any other suggestions are also appreciated.
Thanks
Ankit

Hello,
A small tweak may solve your problem:
Instead of :
CONCATENATE wa_condstr ' bukrs = ' pa_bukrs INTO wa_condstr SEPARATED BY space.
Use:
CONCATENATE wa_condstr ' bukrs = ' 'PA_BUKRS' INTO wa_condstr SEPARATED BY space.
Then use this in SELECT.
Anyways for your answer the escape character for apostrophe is an apostrophe )
Try this you will understand:
DATA:
V_STR TYPE STRING VALUE ''''.
WRITE: V_STR.

Encryption Type in Microsoft Excel 2013 (XLS file)

Hello,
I am creating a password protected file of format Excel 97-2003 Workbook (.xls) using Microsoft Office 2013.
I have written a java program to read password protected excel file using POI API. I am able to read .xlsx file using this API, but I am not able to read .xls file. It throw error : org.apache.poi.hssf.record.RecordFormatException: Unknown encryption
info 4
Using same java code I am able to read .xls file if I use Microsoft Office 2010 to create this file.
As per POI API documentation:
Apache POI contains support for reading few variants of encrypted office files:
XLS - RC4 Encryption
XML-based formats (XLSX, DOCX and etc) - AES and Agile Encryption
I think in Microsoft Office 2013, encryption type has been change for XLS file. So I want to know that how can I solve this issue. Also please let me know how to configure Encryption Type in Microsoft Excel 2013 Excel file.
OS is Windows 8(64-bit).
Thanks

Numbers not opening .xls files (same with pages...)

hi,

If you are trying to open them by double-clicking on the document, then select one of the documents. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With panel select Pages from the dropdown menu then click on the Change All button. Repeat for .xls files except choose Numbers.
Or open the files from within Numbers or Pages using the File menu in the program. Then save the file as a Numbers or Pages document using Save As (hold down the OPTION key and select Save As in the File menu.

What is the best, most efficient way to read a .xls File and create a pipe-delimited .csv File?

What is the best and most efficient way to read a .xls File and create a pipe-delimited .csv File?
Thanks in advance for your review and am hopeful for a reply.
ITBobbyP85

You should have no trouble doing this in SSIS. Simply add a data flow with connection managers to an existing .xls file (excel connection manager) and a new .csv file (flat file). Add a source to the xls and destination to the csv, and set the destination
csv parameter "delay validation" to true. Use an expression to define the name of the new .csv file.
In the flat file connection manager, set the column delimiter to the pipe character.

How do I copy my old xl files from my XP machine to operate on xl for Mac on my new iMac. When I copy them onto a stick and transfer them it automatically makes them xls files which are then corrupted when I try to open them in xl for mac

Sorry, yes this is Microsoft Excel. The Microsoft XP has Excel files denoted as xl, the later versions of Microsoft Excel are denoted as xls files. The later verions of Microsoft Excel open the xl files OK, does Excel for Mac not able to do this?

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?

I was wondering you can help me.
I am currently receiving an *.xls reports on a daily basis (same report, same format, different data). I have put this report into Crystal Xcelcius Designer 4.5 Professional version and created the dashboard I want.

Your help really would be appreciated.

In Firefox, I'm seeing a bad icon for your zip files. I can
download it,
but it looks like something might be amiss with your zip

themselves.

Initially I had downloaded Document 2 (Free) application to view my doc, ppt and xls files. I was not able to edit the files so there was an option for upgrade the Document-2 free to paid version. I have upgraded the Document 2 application. But on my iPad now there are to application present Docemnt-2 (Free) and Document-2. I am not able to open any existing document using the upgraded version of application. How do I connect all the existing txt,PPT,XLS doccument to the new upgraded Document-2 application and then to edit it on my iPad.

As suggested I had deleted the free application and did a hard restart the iPad. I have again copied the document using iTunes. But I am not able to edit any document using this app. Document 2 (paid version) supports editing features of the txt/ xls /ppt files. Is there any problem while loading the Document 2 app. If I reload then do I need to purchase again?
