Data missing while downloading the data using GUI_DOWNLOAD

Hi experts,
I'm uploading the Production Order data through excel and in the transaction level it's happening fine.
After running the BDC I'm fetching the Production Order Number(AUFNR) and it's Status from the respective tables and downloading the data along with the Production Order Number(AUFNR) and it's Status using GUI_DOWNLOAD. (Version is 4.6 C)
After downloading some of the Production Order Numbers(AUFNR) and it's Status are missing in the Excel Log sheet . But it's very much there in the SAP tables and also in the transaction screen level.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
       EXPORTING
            bin_filesize            = v_bin_filesize
            filename                = v_name
            filetype                = 'ASC'
            write_field_separator   = 'X'

Kindly give me your suggestions regarding this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am not sure why it is not coming .
But try by uncomment the bin_filesize.
Because generally the size(bin_filesize) specification is for binary files .
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
*bin_filesize = v_bin_filesize "Comment This
filename = v_name
filetype = 'ASC'
write_field_separator = 'X'
TABLES
data_tab = it_final.

I have no problems parsing the same XSL containing static Arabic text using Transviewer beans' XSLTransformPanelSample class. This means that my XSL has no errors in it.

You need to use the correct and the same character encoding (charset) thorough the complete process.
Whenever you get question marks, then it means that the charset used does not recognize the bytes (which on its turn are apparently encoded by a different charset).
This is an important read, read it from top to bottom, preferably twice: [http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html].

I have checked a thread having this problem but the solution is not given so I had to open a new thread.

Arabic Printing using Smartforms

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to print arabic text using smartforms. I have set MS Word as the text editor. Arabic text is coming up correctly in the editor (Arabic font, Right-to-Left). I created a Arabic smartstyle using A_TRAD font (I also tried other arabic fonts available). Now when I try to print it on HP LasetJet printer, the arabic text is coming up as single characters rather than words and lines. Different Arabic characters are not joined together to form words, they are all single characters separate from each other. Whereas arabic text is coming up correctly in the MS Word editor. Any help would be highly appreciated!!

Hi There.. Greetings...
I am having the same problem of printing Arabic text in the smartform. The arabic Text is printing in opposite direction as well.
what is the solution for this?
Please help me.
Looking forward to hearing from u.
Kind regards,

Problems with displaying dynamic Arabic text

We have a problem with a navigation system we are building
which has to be able to display dynamic Arabic text. We are pulling
in the Arabic text using XML. The problem we are having is that the
character are not displaying joined up where they should be (for
instance in the middle of words). Arabic characters have different
shaping according to the position they take up within a word. What
we are producing is apparently unreadable. Has anyone come accross
this problem before? Is it solveable?

Hi:
Is there any possible chance that Adobe would do something to asist us Fl8 users with international character support.
Everyone has some work-around, except Abode, and they are all usually related to XML.
My setup is PHP (CMS supporting many languages) -> MySQL -> PHP -> Flash8 (Dynamic Text Fields) and the olpart that does not work is when I inject an extended character into the string - Flash stops displaying anything from that character on.
If Adobe has or did have some component / solution or anything other than the usual System.useCodePage = true (which never seems to actually work), please let me know.
Best Regards,

TLF and arabic text

Hello,
I'm using AS3 with CS3 to do some design involving working with dynamic text field for arabic text.
This staetemnt works just fine:
var strValidate_txt.text = "خُرُوجْ"; // a dynamic text field - result OK
however when I try to build the string characyter by character:
var strValidate_txt.text = "";
strValidate_txt.appendText("خ");
strValidate_txt.appendText("ر");
strValidate_txt.appendText("و");
strValidate_txt.appendText("ج");
the resuslt is a string with dissjointed characters وجرخ
I couldn't find a way to fix this in Flash CS3. I'm wondering if upgrading the Flash CS4 with the new TFL will solve me this issue?
still need to convince my boss to pay for the upgrade!
Thanks for help

Hi,
I'm working on Flash with Arabic language since 2 years in FAO (http://www.imarkgroup.com) to develop eLearning apps in Flash/Actionscript...before the TLF also.
The new TLF is the best choice, you can test your arabic text using the demo app http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/textlayout/demos/
I suggest you to wait for the release of new Flash Builder 4 with the official version of TLF. Now the TLF is a BetaVersion.

Hi,
When we download the data using the GUI_DOWNLOAD FM into the text file tab delimeted(table is built dynamically),
Its coming in this format as shown below
Field1 Fileld2 Field3

Could someone please let me know how to achieve this?

Do something like this:
concatenate field1 field2 field3 into lv_outx "(data of sufficient length, type c)
separated by gc_tab. "Horizontal tab constant created as note above
condense lv_outx no-gaps. "squeeze out extraneous spaces but beware if you have text with spaces...drop the no-gaps.
append lv_outx to my_internal_table. "table with a single field type char, sufficient length
open dataset datasetname...

Downloading two different text files using gui_download

Hi Folks,
I have two internal tables.itab1 and itab2.Generally in most cases I have to download only the data in itab1 as a text file using Gui_download.In some cases if a particular condition is satisfied I need to download both itab1 and itab2 data as two different text files using gui_download.To achieve this I had called the gui_download twice as I have to pass two different internal tables.
But I am getting only itab1 textfile and not itab2 textfile.
In the selection screen I am giving the path as c:\..
Kindly let me know where I am going wrong.
K.Kiran.

Hi
You keep the both files in a ITAB and in the loop of that Itab use GUI_DOWNLOAD to download the two files
data: begin of itab,
file like rlgrap-filename,
end of itab.
In initialization event
put the two files into this ITAB.
loop at itab
call function gui_download.
endloop.
check like this

How to download a text file using classes

HI sameer,
   It is no different from using a Function module.

Headings not downloaded using GUI_DOWNLOAD, used DBF as a file type

Hello,
             I have used the function module to download the data into an excel file using GUI_DOWNLOAD FM.
I have given the file type as 'DBF', because if I give DAT type then the data for the amount not downloading properly.
and preceeding zero's are not dowloaded properly. Hence used DBF.
But when I use DBF file type , the header texts are not downloaded properly.
CALL FUNCTION GUI_DOWNLOAD
    EXPORTING
      filename                       = lw_file
     filetype                        = DBF
   TABLES
      data_tab                      = t_output
    fieldnames                      = t_head
fill the header texts for all the fields
TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_head,
               name(24),
END OF ty_head.
data: wa_head TYPE ty_head,
       t_output TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_output,
wa_head-name = text-t01.
condense wa_head-name.
APPEND wa_head TO t_head.
    CLEAR wa_head.
wa_head-name = text-t02.
APPEND wa_head TO t_head.
CLEAR wa_head.
wa_head-name = text-t03.
APPEND wa_head TO t_head.
CLEAR wa_head.
This is the code I have used...but the text is not displaying fully in the file.
If I use DAT, then data will be wrong in some cases.(like zeros.amount in decimals).
Thanks,
AV

HI,
I suggest prepare the data in the internal table t_output as per your requirement first so as to avoid the data anomaly & then you can happily used DAT.
