DMEE tab-delimited file required

Dear Experts
with trx DMEE you define file formats to be used as payment medium
on screen 'format attributes' you indicate if fields have a fixed length or are delimited with a character
what to do when you want to have a tab-delimited file?

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,
Owen

Handling Tab Delimited File generation in non-unicode for multi byte lang

Hi,
Requirement:
We are generating a Tab Delimited File in different languages (Single Byte and Multi Byte) and placing the files at application server.
Problem:
Our system is a Non-unicode system so we are facing problems with generation of Tab delimited file for multibyte languages like Russian, Japanese, Chinese etc.,
I am actually using data: d_tab TYPE X value '09' but it dont work for multi byte. I cant see tab delimited file at application server path.
Any thoughts about how to proceed on this issue?Please let me know.
Thanks & Regards,
Pavan

> Pavan.
On a non-unicode system the X Variant is working, but not on a unicode system. Here you must use the class. On the other hand you can use the class on a non-unicode system und your char var will always be correct (one byte/twobyte depending on which system your report is running).
What you are planning to do is to put a file with an amount of possible characters into a system with has a less amount of characters. Thats not working in no way.
What you can do is to build up a multi-code-page system where the codepage is bound to the user or bound to the logon-language. Here you you can read and process textfiles in several codepages - but not a textfile in unicode. You have to convert the unioce textfile into a non-unicode textfile before processing it.
Remember that SAP does not support multi-code-page Systems anymore and multi-code-page systems will result in much more work when converting the system to unicode.
Even non-unicode system will not be maintained by SAP in the near future.
What you encounter here are problems for what unicode was developped. A unicode system can handle non-unicode textfiles, but the other way round will always lead to problems which cant be solved.

Parse tab delimited file after upload

I could use some advice. I have a requirement to parse and insert an uploaded, tab delimited file using APEX. Directly off of the file system, I would do this with an external table, but here I am uploading the file into a CLOB field. Does PL/SQL have any native functions to parse delimited files?
The user will not have access to the data load part of APEX, although I have seen numerous requests on this forum for that functionality to be added to the user GUI. Thoughts?

j,
I wrote this a while ago...
http://www.danielmcghan.us/2009/02/easy-csv-uploads-yes-we-can.html
I've since improved the code a little bit. If you like the solution, I could do a new post with the latest code.

Tab delimited file as target

I am using OWB to read data from a bunch of oracle tables and putting the results in a flat file. I've defined is as a tab delimited file and everything works fine except for one thing. What I need is to include double quotes for only those fields that are of character type. Currently, all the fields are being enclosed with double quotes. Where can I specify double quotes as enclosures for character fields only? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

the best option that i would suggest is:
create a staging table with columns datatype as varchar2 or have one single large column with carchar2(4000)
put all values from the source table to the staging table by concatenating all the columns
have a logic to add " " to the required fields, this can be easily done using expression builder by concatenating the "" before and end of the string
export the table as tab delimited so at the end of it you will ahve the required fields enclosed by strings.

How can I save a Numbers spreadsheet as a tab delimited file?

Okay, I would like to save a Numbers spreadsheet as a tab delimited file. But of course I can't do that, since Numbers only saves as a comma separated values file.
Plan B: I can open up a CSV file created by Numbers in TextEdit, and I would like to Find and Replace all the commas with tabs. So I open up the Find window, enter a comma under Find, but of course when I put the cursor in the Replace blank and hit the Tab key, it just goes to the next blank instead of giving me a Tab.
Is there a way I can get a Tab into that blank so I can replace all the commas with tabs?

Hello
When we use TextEdit as I described, rows are separated by Returns.
It appears that your program requires LineFeeds.
Here is a neat soluce.
Save this script as an Application Bundle.
--\[SCRIPT tsv2csv]
(* copy to the clipboard a block of datas separated by tabs
run the script
You will get on the desktop a csv file named from the current date-time.
The values separator is set to match the Bento's requirements:
If the decimal separator is period, the script uses commas.
If the decimal separator is comma, the script uses semi-colons.
This may be changed thru the setting of the property maybeSemiColon.
According to the property needLF,
embedded Returns will be replaced by LineFeeds
or
embedded LineFeeds will be replaced by Returns

Trouble importing contacts from a tab-delimited file into Contacts on 10.9.5

I am having Trouble importing contacts from a tab-delimited file into Contacts on MacBook Pro, OS 10.9.5, Intel 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo., 400GB drive, 4GB memory DDR3
So far I have:
- Followed closely the help screen in Contacts app
- Modified my source document meticulously - first in MS Word, then copied and tweaked in Apple's "Text Edit" app
- The problem arises when I go to access the document for import. Specifically, the target document, and all others in that file, are "greyed out" and thus can't be "opened" to facilitate the import process
- Tried changing the extension of the document name to ".txt", ".rtf", and ".rtd". No change or improvement.
- Searched Apple.com/help and found nothing relevant
Can anyone offer some advice or tell me what I may be overlooking in this process?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Hi Rammohan,
Thanks for the effort!
But I don't need to use GUI upload because my functionality does not require to fetch data from presentation server.
Moreover, the split command advised by you contains separate fields...f1, f2, f3... and I cannot use it because I have 164 fields. I will have to split into 164 fields and assign the values back to 164 fields in the work area/header line.
Moreover I have about 10 such work areas. so the effort would be ten times the above effort! I want to avoid this! Please help!
I would be very grateful if you could provide an alternative solution.
Thanks once again,
Best Regards,
Vinod.V

HT2486 The selected file does not appear to be a valid comma separated values (csv) file or a valid tab delimited file. Choose a different file.

The selected file does not appear to be a valid comma separated values (csv) file or a valid tab delimited file. Choose a different file.

I guess your question is, "what's wrong with the file?"
You're going to have to figure that out yourself, as we cannot see the file.
Importing into Address book requires either a tab-delimited or a comma-delimited file. You can export out of most spreadsheets into a csv file. However, you need to make sure you clean up the file first. If you have a field that has commas in the field, they will create new fields at the comma. So, some lines will have more fields than the others, causing issues like the error you saw.

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.

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,
Shrikanth

Hi ,
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...

try it.
Best regards.

Hi Xler

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.
**note I had to type this from my I-pad because I kept getting kicked off the internet from my computer. I hope my code is typed correctly.

George
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.

I am not exactly sure how to include this in my code.
If you could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

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 Advance

I 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.
