Doubt in GUI Upload

Hi All,
I am using function module as follows to upload orders to database.File is created in required format on given path with same name as c:\va01.txt.
But when i run my program its showing exception as "CANNOT INTERPRETE DATA IN FILE"
What can be the problem?We usually upload same type of file and data in file is correct.Can anybody suggest me the solution or atleast tell me what could be the problem.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
EXPORTING
   FILENAME                      = 'C:\VA01.txt'
   FILETYPE                      = 'ASC'
   HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR           = '#'
TABLES
    DATA_TAB                     = IT_ORDER.

hi,
check that, in the flat file, what field separator u have give, u need to give a tab space.
as the data in flat file n the internal table structure r not matching, thats why ur getting that error.
so, make sure that the flat file structure, i mean the order of fields, field separator are correct. then the function module u given is correct, instead of giving field-separator as # give 'X'.
hope this may solve ur problem.
reward if helpful.

HI all pls give me diff btwn upload ws_upload and GUI Upload

HI All,
         pls give me difference between

Hi,
WS_* Function modules are replaced by GUI_* FMs from 4.7 SAP version.
GUI_* modules have additional parameters when compared with WS_* FMs.
Both FM are used for uploading data .
But ws_upload is obsolete now .
WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD, the function modules used until now are not part of the standard set of ABAP commands. They are used to display the file interface on the presentation server. WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD are not compatible with USs and have been replaced by GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.
The new function modules, GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD, have an interface that also allows you to write Unicode format to the local hard drive. For a description of these interfaces, refer to the documentation for each function module, available under SAP Easy Access " Development " Function Builder " Goto " Documentation.
WS_UPLOAD, GUI_UPLOAD FMs are used in BDCs.
WS_UPLOAD loads files from the Presentation Server to Internal ABAP Tables.
This is used upto SAP 4.6 version.
GUI_UPLOAD is used to loads a file from the PC to the server. The data can be
transferred in binary or text format. Numbers and data fields can be
interpreted according to the user settings.

     / 'Size    :', FSIZE.
SKIP.
LOOP AT TAB INTO LIN.
   WRITE: / LIN-COL1, LIN-COL2, LIN-COL3.
ENDLOOP.
The program displays the following dialog box:
Here, the user can change the default values. When the user chooses Transfer, the system imports the data from the file D:\temp\mytable.txt into the internal table TAB.
The output appears as follows:
SY-SUBRC: 0

The contents of the internal table TAB are exactly the same as the contents of the original Excel table.

Batch Input Recording - GUI Upload Function

Hello,
i want to record a batch input.
Within the recording a Gui Upload Function is called, so that the user have to select a file from the local disk, which should be uploaded into the system. That step wasn't recorded by the bach input recording.
Is there any soluion for that?
Regards,
TomSd

As Suhas said, these kind of UI dialogs cannot be handled by batch input technology.
Sometimes transactions allow the batch input by displaying another kind of UI dialog that is allowed. Try to record using "simulate background mode", maybe the program will display another UI dialog. Make sure also to untick the "no BI mode" checkbox.
But maybe this transaction isn't planned to be used in batch input at all (which transaction do you need to record?). In that case, the only solution is maybe eCATT (with external tool connected as I am aware).

Doubt on GUI status in Report

Hi Friends,
I have created a GUI Status for a Report program.
I have written the functionalities for Application Tool bar.
But i have not written any thing for my Functional Keys having Standard Tool bar will the keys in the standard tool bar will work as normal or it will get deactivated.
Reward is sure.
Thanks,
Gokul

Hi Gokul,
If you are setting a PF status for a report then menu items and functional keys in the standard toolbar gets deactivated and depending upon ur requirement u can activate keys.
And if you want to activate the functional keys back, exit and cancel give the function codes as BACK, %EX and RW respectively in the PF Status you have defined and Activate the PFstaus.
Now these functional keys start working normally and you need not write any code for these to work.
If you want clarifications futher let me know.
Reward me if useful.

If I understand what you want to do is import a file into your WebDynpro application then the method to be followed is as shown below.
>Steps:
>> 1. Right click on the application you are creating.
>> 2. Follow the menu option: Create->Mime Objects -> Import
>> 3. You will get a popup with the header SAP Custom-Open File Menu
>> 4. Choose the file you want to import and click on Open
>> 5. You will get a new document for Creating New Document. Enter description and click on Save .
>> 6. Choose the Package and save. Your file will be stored under the same application under MIMEs.
If what you want is to import a file into the system, and not to the WebDynpro application, then you can
>> 1. go to SE80.
>> 2. Choose MIME Repository. Open a folder where you want to import the file.
>> 3. Right Click on the folder that you desire to import the file to. Menu: Import MIME Objects.
>> 3. Repeat the steps 3 - 6.

Doubt in BAPI uploadation

Hi experts,
While uploading PO data using BAPI, In Itemx table all the fields uploading will have x but item field should have value? why it is?

Hi,
With the ITEMSX you tell the bapi which fields are to be inserted or changed. If you don't set the x the values of the fields from ITEMS are not taken into account.

GUI upload with filetype .xlxs

Hi,
I need to upload .xlxs files using GUI_upload function module.
It doesn't support it.
Please suggest some approach to use it.
Regards,
Kshitija

need to upload .xlxs files using GUI_upload function module
GUI_UPLOAD doesn't provide the functionality for uploading .xlxs file. Although i'm not sure of this FM KCD_EXCEL_OLE_TO_INT_CONVERT but you can take a chance.
Why do you need a .xlsx file? Even you can convert it to .xls.

Gui Upload and Line Feed within a CSV cell from Excel

Hi all,
I am facing the problem that my CSV file to be uploaded via GUI_UPLOAD is containing cells where the Excel user has split the line within the cell. So there are CRLF at the end of the CSV row and single LF within a cell between the field separators.
GUI_UPLOAD is not making a difference and splits the line within the cell.
Is there any solution for this?
Thanks in advance for hints.
Axel

Hi Axel,
I didn't know that it was considering CRLF and LF the same way. A workaround is to do the job yourself: call GUI_UPLOAD using BIN format (you'll get the characters as bytes), get the frontend encoding (cl_gui_frontend_services=>GET_SAPLOGON_ENCODING), then convert the bytes into characters using CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE class (see documentation), and split (statement SPLIT AT) the characters at cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf to get each line, then split each line at cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.

Diff ws and gui upload

difference between ws_upload and gui_upload

hi sunil,
WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD, the function modules used until now are not part of the standard set of ABAP commands. They are used to display the file interface on the presentation server. WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD are not compatible with USs and have been replaced by GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.
The new function modules, GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD, have an interface that also allows you to write Unicode format to the local hard drive. For a description of these interfaces, refer to the documentation for each function module, available under SAP Easy Access " Development " Function Builder " Goto " Documentation.
Instead of using the function modules, you can use the static methods GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD of the global class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.

When I execute the code I see data only for the first field of the first row and all the fields are 0.00 and i dont see any records from second row onwards.
Below is the data in the text file.

Thanks,
Raju.

use option has_field_separator = 'X'
and separate the fields with tabulations in the text file.
How did you got that file?
You made it with gui_download or are you getting it from an independent source?
