Downloading in .txt format separated by comma

Hello everyone,
In order to download an internal table in .txt format separated by comma (,) , I am using :
1. SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT
2. GUI_DOWNLOAD
The problem is that the file downloaded is separated by ; and not comma.
I am not passing any Filetype in GUI_DOWNLOAD and the extension is .TXT.
I dont want to use REPLACE ALL OCCURANCES OF before calling GUI_DOWNLOAD.
Can someone plz suggest another way ?
Thanks

when you generate the spool you can down load that in txt format
Function is used RSPO_DOWNLOAD_SPOOLJOB when you want to do that programatically.
Using the spool number, and provide the path where you want to down load that time mention the name
C:\smart.txt
it will be downloaded .

Txt format in a file created by the Payment Medium Program

Hi,
I need some help with a query from Payroll France.
They use the transaction PC00_M06_FFOT (program RFFOF_V) to transfer payment data to banks.
This program creates a txt file that is accessible to the payroll and accounting teams. This file is stored on local discs and as txt format it can be modified.
The last audit pointed to this as a potential issue. The data in this file is very sensitive and shoud be secured against any modification.
The program is SAP standard and the txt format is compliant with the system used by banks. That is why I am not sure if the file format can be modified. We were thinking perhaps a PDF fike would be an option. However, our Development do not want to touch at the change before we know if this will not be a problem for the banks' system.
I've created a note for SAP about already but they say it is not really an error and in fact beyond their scope.
Would appreciate some advice from you.
Thanks,
Monika.

Monika :
When running payment transfer to the bank (i.e. RFFOT or RFFOV), you have an option to either have the output file created (at application server) or a temse file created (which you would go to DME management to process downloading to a file (e.g. in your local PC machine).
Having the ACH file created on application server site usually should be quite secure in my opition (first of, not many ee should have access to application servers; second, you can control not to allow non-authorized personnel to access to certain directories in application server; third, usually, when ACH file is created, it usually will be picked up by an automate process to send the file to the bank (rather than manual process)) . Just my thought on your audit issue .

How to save report in text (.txt) format using SSRS

Hello
I am using some .rdl file to generate reports and this is using SSRS. But only thing I did that I have changed the configuration file in C drive as below :
Here
Collapse | Copy Code
<Extension Name="TXT" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.CsvRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.CsvRendering">
<OverrideNames>
<Name Language="en-US">TXT (Pipe Delimited Text File)</Name>
</OverrideNames>
<Configuration>
<DeviceInfo>
<FieldDelimiter>|</FieldDelimiter>
<Extension>TXT</Extension>
<Encoding>ASCII</Encoding>
<NoHeader>true</NoHeader>
</DeviceInfo>
</Configuration>
</Extension>
The TXT is added to the drop down . But when I am saving the report it is not saving in .txt format. It is taking .CSV format. Kindly help to save report in txt format.

Hi Chat89,
By design, SQL Server Reporting Services render a report to CSV (text) format with a comma (,) as FieldDelimiter in .CSV FileExtension. So if we want to display Pipe FieldDelimiter in .txt format, we can modify those setting in the RSReportserver.config
file as below:
Please navigate to RSReportserver.config file: <drive:>\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer \RSReportserver.config.
Backup the RSReportserver.config file before we modify it, open the RSReportserver.config file with Notepad format.
In the <Render> section, add the new code for the CSV extension like this:
<Extension Name="CSV" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">
   <OverrideNames>
        <Name Language="en-US">TXT (Pipe Delimited Text File)</Name>
    </OverrideNames>
    <Configuration>
        <DeviceInfo>
            <FieldDelimiter>|</FieldDelimiter>
            <FileExtension>TXT</FileExtension>
        <NoHeader>true</NoHeader>
        </DeviceInfo>
    </Configuration>
</Extension>
Save the RSReportserver.config file.

Export .txt format

I have a special need to convert and export short segments of audio data (less than one million data points) to Microsoft Excel for exploratory detailed waveform analysis. File format .txt is a satisfactory export format for the job. Several years ago I could do what I need to do and export in .txt format using Cool Edit Pro (actually Cool Edit 96?); now I no longer have a working copy of Cool Edit.
When I first called about Audition I was told by one of the Adobe Creative Cloud sales people that the .txt export capability was maintained and still available in Audition.
I am currently testing a trial copy of Audition but do not see .txt as a choice for file export. Am I overlooking something?
If .txt export is not available through Audition I would be interested in buying outright a working copy of the now outdated Cool Edit Pro application - - I understand that the rights to Cool Edit became the property of Adobe several years ago.
Kindly note that the free download of Cool Edit Pro available on the internet is an old trial copy of Cool Edit Pro that has limited functionality and quits running within thirty days - - not a viable alternative for me.
I will be most happy if I am simply overlooking something in trying to use it and can count on Adobe Audition for .txt export. Please help me in any way you can. Thank you.

I think the help line mis-informed you...the same question was asked a few months back and Charles Van Winkle (from the developers of Audition) answered here: Re: Can Audition CC export ascii (.txt) like older versions of Audition? If so, how?
However, I'd say it might be worth messaging Charles with the details of your need and maybe submit a new feature request.

Txt format for Nokia 8800

The objective is to display text documents on my Nokia 8800. So I proceeded by saving them on the Nokia Pc Suite in the .txt format and syncronizing and, in fact this operation had success. Only when I try to access them on the phone it returns an error of unsupported format.
Two questions spring from this experience:
1) Is there a format for text documents that may be visualized on the phone or, reverse question, is there an application that allows the phone to visualize .txt documents?
2) Is there a way to enter text documents directly on the phone without having to download them from the pc?
Thanks, Fabrizio
Fabrizio Bartolomucci

Ok, thanks: those I was aware of; only, in that case, there is apparently no way to access or modify them by PC Suite.
As a matter of fact I was trying to find a way to copy some text (perhaps a receipe) I have on the pc to the phone in order to be able to display it later, away from the pc, without having to type it again as a note.

if you follow all 7 steps you can dl a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
and activate with your serial.
if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps. the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

Is there a way to extract iMessages from Mac to PDF or .txt format?

I've been searching the net but to no avail. All results point to backing up/extracting iMessages from iDevices other than a Mac. I'm going to change my Apple ID and I want to at least have a copy of the previous convos I had if PDF or .txt format. Thanks in advance!

HI,
If you have the Save on Close option enabled in Messages > Preferences > Messages then all Chats and conversations are saved.
They can be recalled any time.
1) In the Messages app the File Menu > Recent Items will list the last X number of chats.
X is the number set in System Preferences > General pane about the number of Documents, Applications and Servers shown in such lists.
2) old migrated iChat Saved chats are in Your Home Folder/Documents/iChats
3) New Saves are in your Home Folder/Library/Messages/Archive although this Library is Hidden.
In th Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder and type ~/Library/Messages into the dialogue box that appears.
I have 10 non iMessages accounts as well as my iMessages account logged in when I am on line.
I can call up any of the last Chats shown in Recent Items no matter which account they came from (different Screen Name or Jabber IDs or even Bonjour chats)
I have not actually changed my iMessages ID to check but the app will continue to save to the same Folder and it should be able to retrieve recent ones.
Visiting the folder and double clicking an older chat tends to launch it in a new window separate from the Messages Window itself (no Side bar no, Text field at the bottom, no "To" spot).

How to include "password protection" in a report, downloaded in .pdf format

Hi,
The client need the reports to be password protected after downloading it to pdf format.
i.e., If a report from the dashboard is being downloaded in pdf format, then while opening it should ask to enter the password.
So this will be a secure document that can be sent over mail.
Is such feature available in OBIEE 10g/11g? If yes, please let me know.

Hi,
Could somebody tell the same can do in Discoverer also?
Thanks,
Kamal
