Downloading Unix File

Hi ,
I am downloading file in Unix in application as well as presentation server.
could anybody pleade tell me how should I test these file .
Regards.
Kusum.

Yes , you are right, but if you application server is unix, then AL11 will fetch data from Unix. However, if you wish to see the file on the unix OS and not AL11, you can ask your system administrator for the same.
With respect to presentation server, it doesn't matter what operating system you are on because you will see the file on your local PC whereever you download the file to.

DATA TRANSFER - How to get a SINGLE SPACE in downloaded txt file from UNIX?

Hi Experts,
Am sending data from SAP to UNIX/ Application server and text file on desk top as well.
So, I am keeping a single character just SPACE at the END of each record.
Then, When I see the downloaded text file, I found a SINGLE SPACE at the end of each record, fine.
Then, by using CG3Y t code, I downloaded the UNIX file to my desk top.
But, When I see this UNIX downloaded file from UNIX, I did NOT find any SPACE at the end of each record!!!
Am doing every thing same in both cases.
So,
1 - Why its happening in case of UNIX file?
2 - How to get a SINGLE SPACE at the END in the downloaded file from UNIX?
thanq

Its there, I am talking abut this -
OPEN DATASET - linefeed
Syntax
... WITH { NATIVE
         | SMART
         | UNIX
         | WINDOWS } LINEFEED ... .
Alternatives:
1. ... WITH NATIVE LINEFEED
2. ... WITH SMART LINEFEED
3. ... WITH UNIX LINEFEED
4. ... WITH WINDOWS LINEFEED
Effect
: These additions determine which line end marker is used for text files or legacy text files. If these additions are used, the profile parameter abap/NTfmode is ignored. Simultaneous specification of the values "UNIX" or "NT" in the addition TYPE is not permitted.
If these additions are not used, the line end marker is determined as follows, depending on the operating system of the current application server:
The line end marker for Unix is "LF". Under Unix, OS390 and OS400, only "LF" is used for reading and writing.
The line end marker for MS Windows is "CRLF". Under MS Windows, however, the values of the profile parameter abap/NTfmode can also be used to set whether new files are handled according to Unix conventions or Windows conventions. If the profile parameter has the value "b", the Unix line end marker "LF" is used. If the profile parameter has the value "t" or is initial, the Windows line end marker "CRLF" is used. The setting using the profile parameter can be overridden with the addition TYPE and the value "UNIX" or "NT". If an existing file is opened without the addition TYPE, this is searched for the first line end marker ("LF" or "CRLF"), and this is used for the whole file. If no line end marker is found, the profile parameter is used. This applies particularly if an existing file is completely overwritten with FOR OUTPUT.
If an addition WITH NATIVE|SMART|UNIX|WINDOWS LINEFEED is used, this setting can be changed for the open file using the statement SET DATASET. If neither of the additions is used, the line end marker also cannot be changed using SET DATASET.
Notes
: Without the use of an addition WITH LINEFEED, the line end marker is dependent on diverse implicit factors such as the operating system of the application server, a profile parameter, and line end markings that are already used. For this reason, the explicit use of WITH LINEFEED is recommended, which renders the use of the addition TYPE for setting the line end marker obsolete.
The line end marker that is currently used can be determined for every open file using GET DATASET.
Alternative 1
... WITH NATIVE LINEFEED
Effect
: This addition defines the line end marker independently of the access type according to the operating system of the application server, i.e. "LF" for Unix OS390 or OS400, and "CRLF" for MS Windows.
The line end marker is interpreted according to the current codepage. If a code page is explicitly specified using the addition CODE PAGE, the characters of the line end marker must exist be available or be written in accordance with this code page.
Note
: The addition WITH NATIVE LINEFEED is intended for editing files on an application server that can also be accessed by other means. The addition receives the appropriate line end marker without the program needing to know the operating system.
Alternative 2
... WITH SMART LINEFEED
Effect
: This addition depends on the access type:
In files that are opened for reading using FOR INPUT, both "LF" and "CRLF are interpreted as a line end marker. When opening an EBCDIC file with the addition CODEPAGE, in addition to "LF", "CRLF", and the EBCDIC character strings, the corresponding ASCII character strings are also recognized. In addition, the EBCDIC character "NL" (line separator) is also interpreted as a line end marker.
In files opened for appending or changing with FOR APPENDING or FOR UPDATE, the program searches for a line end marker that is already used in the file. In this process, first the end of the file is identified. If no line end marker is found there, a certain number of characters at the beginning is analyzed. If a line end marker is found, this is used when writing to the file. This is also affected by the addition CODE PAGE. For example, ASCII line end markers are recognized and used in a file opened with EBCDIC, but not the other way round. If no line end marker is found or no search is possible (for example, if the file is opened with the addition FILTER), the line end marker is determined according to the operating system of the application server, as with the addition WITH NATIVE LINEFEED.
In files opened for writing using FOR OUTPUT, the line end marker is determined according the operating system of the application server, as with the addition WITH NATIVE LINEFEED.
Note
: The addition WITH SMART LINEFEED is intended for the generic editing of files in heterogeneous environments. The line end marker is recognized and set for different formats. The use of this addition is the best solution for most application cases.
Alternative 3
... WITH UNIX LINEFEED
Effect
: The line end marker is set to "LF" regardless of the access type and operating system of the application server.
The line end marker is interpreted according to the current code page. If a code page is specified explicitly using the addition CODE PAGE, the characters of the line end marker must be available or be written according to this code page.
Note
: The addition WITH UNIX LINEFEED is intended for editing Unix files in which the specific line end markers are to be retained, even if the operating system of the current application server is MS Windows.
Alternative 4
... WITH WINDOWS LINEFEED
Effect
: The line end marker is set to "CRLF" regardless of the access type and operating system of the application server.
The line end marker is interpreted according to the current code page. If a code page is specified explicitly using the addition CODE PAGE, the characters of the line end marker must be available and be written according to this code page.
Note
: The addition WITH WINDOWS LINEFEED is intended for use with MS Windows files in which the specific line end marker is to be retained, even if the operating system of the current application server is Unix, OS390 or OS400.

"\n" problem while downloading the file in unix environment

Hi folks,
I have some problem in uploading and downloading the file in unix environment..
This is my sample code i am using.
File userDataFile = new File("xyz".csv");
out = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(userDataFile),"UNICODE"));
out.write("Name"+"\t");
out.write("Age"+"\t");
out.write("Dob"+"\t");
out.write("Contact"+"\n");
for(int i=0;i<retList.size;i++){
out.write("xyz"+"\t");
out.write("22"+"\t");
out.write("300399"+"\t");
out.write("xyzzz"+"\n");
as per this i wrote code for generating the reports. Its contains some 7k records.
Its works in Windows environment.
Some times in Windows environment if the contents size is 7000 records means
i got only the headers..
I am not getting any real records.
I am not sure.. my client is using may be an unix environment..
Please give the solutions for this..
Very thanks in advance.

Hi Jothi,
This is not an answer to your question. It is a question for you instead. I have tried to reach you on several forums regarding the HAP_DOCUMENT documentation you have.
Again, I am really sorry to contact you through a differente forum, but I really need the HAP_DOCUMENT documentation for my project.
Please send me a message to [email protected]
Thanks again.

Windows to UNIX file download directory location

Hello all,
I have a page that displays the contents of a directory and allows the user to click and download a file.
I developed it on Windows and now I need to temporarily get it running on Solaris 8.
I deployed the war file and now I need to change the code and create the "data" directory.
Previously on Win 2k I had the following code:
private static String PATH = "C:\\data\\"; //PATH to the data directoryI created the data directory on the root of the c drive: C://data
Now that I am on Solaris I cant seem to point the page at the directory.
I tried this:
I created a dir called "data" directly off of root: /data
and changed the code like so:
private static String PATH = "\\data\\"; //PATH to the data directoryThis didnt work so I created another directory called "data" just off of the root of my webapp:
/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat/webapps/myWebAppName/data
and left the code like this:
private static String PATH = "\\data\\"; //PATH to the data directoryStill no go.
So where should I create a "data" directory? and how shall I code the PATH constant?
TIA!!

try
private static String PATH = "/data/" //PATH to the data directoryUsing forward slashes instead of backslashes. This is unix remember?
If it still doesn't work, post an error message/exception and we can go from there.
Cheers,

Download PDF spool to unix file system

Does anyone know how to programatically download a PDF document spool to the unix file system?
I am trying to find a method to send PDF documents that have gone to spool to a unix file system. If anyone had any ideas on how to do this, please let me know.
Thanks.

Hi,
For this define a logical file while using transaction FILE.
In your code you will get the complete path of the file while using FM FILE_GET_NAME.
Then download your PDF while using instruction
OPEN DATASET...

Downloading unix archive file (.Z extension) from java program

Hi,
I am trying to download unix archive files with .Z extension from java program. When I use
BufferedReader zReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(urlConn.getInputStream()));
and then read line by line and write it to file, downloaded file can't be decompressed. I tried to open it with winZip which supports .Z files but I get the message : Cannot open file, it does not appear to be a valid archive.
How can I download file correctly?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I am trying to download unix archive files with .Z
extension from java program. When I use
BufferedReader zReader = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(urlConn.getInputStream()));
and then read line by line and write it to file,How are you writing the file? Since it is binary data you need to be careful about using Reader/Writers, which are meant for character data. Look at using classes from the InputStream/OutputStream hierarchy.

Hi,
Try this way...
TRANSFER dobj TO dset [LENGTH len]
                                      [NO END OF LINE].
Addition 1
... LENGTH len
Effect
This addition determines how many characters or how many bytes of data object dobj are written to the file. len is expected to be a data object of type i that contains the number of characters or bytes. In text files, the content of len specifies the number of characters that are written from the storage. For binary files, legacy text file, and legacy binary files, len specifies the number of bytes that are written to the file. The first len characters or bytes are transferred and alignment gaps are included in the structures. If the addition LENGTH is not specified, all characters or bytes are transferred.
If the value of len is less than or equal to 0, no characters or bytes are transferred. If the file is opened as a (legacy) text file, however, a line end marker is inserted into the file by default. If the value of len is greater than the number of characters or bytes in dobj, hexadecimal 0 or blank characters are transferred to the file instead of the missing bytes or characters, depending on whether the file was opened as a (legacy) text file or a (legacy) binary file.

Having problems with corrupt downloads of Oracle 9i Release 2 Unix files

So that we may better diagnose DOWNLOAD problems, please provide the following information.
- Server name download-east.oracle.com
- Filename server_9201_hpunix64_disk[1,2,3,4].cpio.gz
- Date/Time 06/19/2002 and 06/20/2002 all day, even tried downloading late at night
- Browser + Version tried IE 6.0, Netscape 6.2.3, Netscape 4.79
- O/S + Version Windows 2000 and Windows XP Pro
- Error Msg unable to read cpio file, it extracts part of the file but fails when it gets close to the end.

Sorry did I mention that
Opera on windows crashes when trying to download these files.
Ie 6, just writes the files but the download obvioulsy errors out as the files are too small.
Netscape actually raises and error message when the download stops.
In any case there is no ftp access so that won't work and because of the stupid agree with the licence agreement when you try to reference the files directly you can't simply issue a command like wget -c oracle_cpiofile.gz.

UNIX files pc download (AL11, ...)

Hi,
I generate a unix file (output as file), for example for EC Sales List, and I want to know how to access such file with a user transaction or something similar. If I access to the file directly in the server the file is absolutely correct, but I want the user to be able to access the file. I am trying to use transaction AL11 to save such file in local pc unconverted, but I have problems because it includes a header and each line of the file end after the last character not blank and it should not do that. The file in the server do not end after the last character not blank, because it has characters ' ' at the end of each line. That is why I would like to know if there is another way to access to unix files.
Thanks,
Ariana

Thank you very much for your answers. Finally, using CG3Y I can obtain my file without problems.

JSP page download a file from unix box in DOS format

Hi to all ..
I have found many example to download a file from the server to the client like this
<%
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
try {
     FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("c:\\myfile.txt");
     InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(fis,"UTF8");
     Reader in = new BufferedReader(isr);
     int ch;
     while ((ch = in.read()) > -1)
          buffer.append((char)ch);
out.print (buffer);
     in.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
%>
My problem is that the file is a text file and when i download I have in the file strange character ....
How can i convert the file in DOS ???
thank's in advance

One of the main features of FTP's ascii mode is that it adjusts the line-ending characters based on the server's and client's operating system. It's a reasonable guess that these characters are the source of the OP's problem and that he's a beginner who doesn't know what he's doing. (The use of JSP scriptlets supports that theory.)
In which case that Java code could be adapted to do the same thing, although it would have to determine the operating system of the client. This is sort of possible, but not for somebody who is just looking for code snippets to get their job done.
However that's just one guess. There are other possible problems including character encoding: the input file can be read as UTF-8, which is hard-coded into the code, but perhaps the client is interpreting the non-ASCII characters in some other encoding. This would also cause "weird characters" to appear.
At any rate it would be useful for the OP to do some basic research like finding out what these bad characters are.

Downloading a file from App Server to User's Desktop

Hi All,
I know that there are many threads on file upload and download :-)
I have tried to browse through most of them and could not find my solution.
The requirement is to place a file in the unix app server directory and allow the user to download it using a link, to the user's desktop. In case you think that this has already been answered in an old thread, kindly give me the pointer. Any sample code for doing this, would be great.
I know how to upload a file from desktop to table/app server. I know how to download a file from a BLOB column in database.
Thanks,
Amit

You would not be able to use file upload or download beans, as they interact with the database and not the filesystem.
You would need to write a simple file reader routing in plain java.

URGENT : Writing to UNIX file problem !

Hi friends,
I am stuck at a crucial point while uploading a UNIX file from ABAP program.
I am using open dataset & then transfer to...the file path.
But when I go and check the UNIX file it is split into 2 lines (it is supposed to be a
record with 1 line with 1500 characters) ! It shows a maximum of 255 chars in one line.Moreover,while I download to a text file via Txn CG3Y,some data are missing or truncated etc.
Please suggest how can I create a record with 1500 characters in UNIX and download it successfully with full data or how can I ensure proper data has been transferred as the record display is truncated.I checked the program its fine,only after transferring I get the problem.
Thanks,
Sandip.

The files would not get truncated. The file actually exists in App. server but you will be able to see only uptil 255 characters. You can check the same by downloading it onto Pres. server by specifying file type as BIN when you are downloading through CG3Y

Special characters in UTF-8 UNIX file

We have a program which downloads data from certain info-types in to the UNIX file, Fields are written to the specific position in the UNIX file. Some of the fields contains "Special Characters" in them.
When we download the file in UTF-8 mode (encoding default) then the file display special characters correctly but the all the characters in that record gets shifted to left.
When we download the file in ANSI mode then the file display doesn't special characters correctly but the all the characters in that record do not get shifted from their place.
How can i find the special character in the field and accordingly i will shift the field right so that in the final UNIX file field won't shift their positions.

Hi Ramnivas.
Have you tried to read the characters with class: CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES (transaction SE24, label Attributes)
For example you can see # in ABAP but in the file will be a new line or a carriage return, you can detect that an adapt it with:
CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE or CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF
Other hand, if you are using OPEN DATASET to download the file, look at the options of encoding
See F1 of OPEN DATASET and then encoding..
OPEN DATASET - encoding
Syntax
... ENCODING { DEFAULT
| {UTF-8 [SKIPPING|WITH BYTE-ORDER MARK]}
| NON-UNICODE } ... .
Hope it helps
Regards.
Alfonso.
