Download Tab Delimited file from spool!

Hi Experts,
Is there any way to download tab delimited txt file from spool?
Spool is created for Statements and Invoices from Sap Script and Smartform which is in OTF format.
I am able to download this in Text file but I need this file in tab delimited format.

I don't understand what you want to do as it seems impossible : the spool contains miscellaneous data, not compatible with tab delimited files which are used to store 2-dimensional tables (columns, rows).

try it.

Please guide me how to read the contents without "#' from the file.
I have tried all possible ways and unable to get solution.
Thanks,

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...

01.04.2007#31.03.2008#1#120
01.05.2007#31.07.2008#2#140
All i need is a tab delimited file in app server also . Wats that i need to do for this ? Also how can i write a tab delimited file on app server through my program using open dataset.
Thanks for ur time.

Hi..
Check this code: you will find the solution:
Using the Static Attribute CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB
Example:
This is the Simple way you can download the ITAB with Tab delimiter:
DATA : V_REC(200).
OPEN DATASET P_FILE FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA.
Concatenate WA-FIELD1 WA-FIELD2
 INTO V_REC
 SEPARATED BY CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.
TRANSFER V_REC TO P_FILE.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET P_FILE.
Note: if there are any Numeric fields ( Type I, P, F) In your ITAB then before CONCATENATE you have to Move them to Char fields ..
Reward if Helpful.
Example:
DATA: V_RECORD(200).
OPEN DATASET P_FILE FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
DO.
READ DATASET P_FILE INTO V_RECORD.
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
 EXIT.
ENDIF.
SPLIT V_Record at CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB
 INTO WA-FIELD1 WA-FIELD2.
APPEND WA TO ITAB.
ENDDO.

Reading in a tab delimited file

I have the following table in oracle 9i:
arc_book
arc_id, arc_title, arc_publisher, arc_release_date
And a tab delimited file called smc_book. Here is how the smc_book tab delimited file looks like:
smc_id smc_title smc_publisher smc_release_date
1234 "Beautiful Wonder" "Wrox Books" 1/1/1999
2356 "Master PL/SQL" "OReilly Media" 6/5/2004
5432 "Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire" "Simon & Shuster" 2/4/2001
What I want to do is create a lookup table where I matchup the records that are the same book in the smc_book file and arc_book table.
So the lookup table would look like:
lookup
smc_id, arc_id, arc_title, arc_publisher
When I read in the smc_book file I don't want to re-add books that have already been added to the lookup table.
Also when I am matching up the books in the smc_book file and arc table I want to make sure it gets all similar book titles that have the same publisher and release date because the book title, publisher are not exactly the same in both table. For example with data:
smc_book file:
smc_id smc_title smc_publisher smc_release_date
1234 "Beautiful Wonder" "Wrox Books" 1/1/1999
2356 "Master PL/SQL" "OReilly Media" 6/5/2004
5432 "Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire" "Simon & Shuster" 2/4/2001
arc_book table:
arc_id arc_title arc_publisher arc_release_date
1245 "Wonder, Beautiful" "Wrox" 1/1/1999
1244 "The PL-SQL, Master" "Media, OReilly" 6/5/2004
4352 "Golbet of Fire, Harry Potter" "Simon and Shuster" 2/4/2001
So I want to match up "Beautiful Wonder" in the smc_book file with "Wonder, Beautiful" in the arc_book table even though the title and publisher data is not exact.
I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out.
Thanks
Robert

well you can use sql loader utility to load the data in your file in some temp table and use that temp table as a base for your comparisons,
other way around is to use external tables
sql loader:

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.

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

Hi, Did you get solution for this? Please let me know as I'm looking for the same solution. The Bank requirement is to generate a Tab delimited file but the RFFOGB_T with Format GB_BACS issues the output as below...

Tab Delimited File?

Hi All,
I am trying to create a tab delimited file using Sender File adapter using File content Conversion in Adapter Module. I want a constant space beteween the fields of length 8 spaces. When i use ' ' as field seperater , the file that is generated is 19' 'Stringtest14,Hiring' '09/03/2007' 'Managing Dir, Operations. I want the file without colons i.e 19 Stringtest14,Hiring' 09/03/2007 Managing Dir, Operations.
Please Advice...
Regards,
XIer

Hi Xler
content conversion parameters ,, just like
Recordset structure = DT_PRY,*
DT_PRY.fieldnames = ID,empname,empno,country
DT_PRY.fieldSeparator = '0x09' (tab delimited)
DT_PRY.endSeparator = 'nl'

The FCC...
Document Name : MT_PRY
Document Namespace : http://product.com/prvsoup
Recordset Name : recordset
Recordset structure = DT_PRY,*
DT_PRY.fieldnames = ID,empname,empno,country
DT_PRY.fieldSeparator = '0x09'
DT_PRY.endSeparator = 'nl'
ignoreRecordsetName = true

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.

Formatting a tab delimited file

Hello All,
I am populating a tab delimited text file with data from a resultset and I'm having problems lining up the columns properly. I tried using tabs, but the variable length of some of the entries are messing up the positioning of the data. Is there a way to create tab delimited fixed length fields with column headers? or is there some better way to do this in general?
Thanks,
James

I got it working using StringBuffers. Where I missed it was that the formatting of the text of the report originally didn't work under the
code. It was being automatically formatted when it was passed as a message in an email under javamail. I had forgotten that Outlook will do that on it's own. When I tried to make the report an attachment, the defect in the formatting became apparent.
I also got it working (better solution) using POI. That way the attachment is an .xls file, rather than tab-delimited file.
FYI,
James
