Email CSV Files from ABAP in 4.6c

Hi all,
I've been trying to work out how to send an email from an ABAP program with a body of email text and a CSV file attachment. We are running 4.6c and have SAP connect configured. I can send plain text emails but can't seem to attach a CSV file successfully. In my program I have set up an internal table which represents the CSV contents.
Any of the threads I follow on the SDN seem to point towards binary attachments which I have tried but do not seem to work as I want them to.. there are formatting issues or the file ends up having an extension which is not suitable.
I want to be able to name the attachment appropriately ... e.g. filename.csv so that the receiver can open it directly in Excel or in other text file applications.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for this ?
Cheers,
Gordon

Hi Thomas, thanks for that.. I'm starting to get the hang of the packing table. But I'm still stuggline with the format of the file when it arrives in the email.
If I set the DOC_TYPE field to 'TXT' for the attachment, the email does arrive now with my data in a .txt file attachment however the CSV data which I had in my internal table is not presented in the file as it was in the table. In my table I_EXTRACT, each row is a CSV record I want to go into the file.. but when it arrives the txt file has incorrect line breaks, so more than one record per line etc. It's as all the data has been spewed out as long string into the text file.
Is there an extra step or escape key I need to add to my data to get SAP to add the line breaks correctly ?
My code for adding the attachment to the email data is as follows:
LOOP AT i_extract.
APPEND i_extract TO objtxt.
ENDLOOP.
Create Message Attachment
Write Packing List (Attachment)
att_type = 'TXT'.
DESCRIBE TABLE objtxt LINES tab_lines.
READ TABLE objtxt INDEX tab_lines.
objpack-doc_size = ( tab_lines - 2 ) * 255 + STRLEN( objtxt ).
clear objpack-transf_bin.
objpack-head_start = 2.
objpack-head_num = 0.
objpack-body_start = 2.
objpack-body_num = tab_lines.
objpack-doc_type = att_type.
objpack-obj_name = 'ATTACHMENT'.
objpack-obj_descr = 'myfile'.
APPEND objpack.

Reading a CSV file from server

Hi All,
I am reading a CSV file from server and my internal table has only one field with lenght 200. In the input CSV file there are more than one column and while splitting the file my internal table should have same number of rows as columns of the input record.
But when i do that the last field in the internal table is appened with #.
Can somebody tell me the solution for this.
U can see the my code below.
data: begin of itab_infile occurs 0,
         input(3000),
      end of itab_infile.
data: begin of itab_rec occurs 0,
         record(200),
      end of itab_rec.
data: c_comma(1) value ',',
        open dataset f_name1 for input in text mode encoding default.
        if sy-subrc <> 0.
          write: /, 'FILE NOT FOUND'.
          exit.
        endif.
do
read dataset p_ipath into waf_infile.
split itab_infile-input at c_sep into table itab_rec.
enddo.
Thanks in advance.
Sunil

Sunil,
You go not mention the platform on which the CSV file was created and the platform on which it is read.
A common problem with CSV files created on MS/Windows platforms and read on unix is the end-of-record (EOR) characters.
MS/Windows usings <CR><LF> as the EOR
Unix using either <CR> or <LF>
If on unix open the file using vi in a telnet session to confirm the EOR type.
The fix options.
1) Before opening the opening the file in your ABAP program run the unix command dos2unix.
2) Transfer the file from the MS/Windows platform to unix using FTP using ascii not bin. This does the dos2unix conversion on the fly.
3) Install SAMBA and share the load directory to the windows platforms. SAMBA also handles the dos2unix and unix2dos conversions on the fly.
Hope this helps

Creating an xml file from abap code

Hello All,
Please let me know which FM do I need to execute in order to create an XML file from my ABAP code ?
Thanks in advance,

XML files from ABAP programs

Create XML file from ABAP with SOAP Details

Hi,
I am new to XML and I am not familiar with JAVA or Web Service. I have searched in SDN and googled for a sample program for creating XML document from ABAP with SOAP details. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything.
I have a requirement for creating an XML file from ABAP with SOAP details. I have the data in the internal table. There is a Schema which the client provided and the file generated from SAP should be validating against that Schema. Schema contains SOAP details like Envelope, Header & Body.
My question is can I generate the XML file using CALL TRANSFORMATION in SAP with the SOAP details?
I have tried to create Transformation (Transaction XSLT_TOOL) in SAP with below code. Also in CALL transformation I am not able to change the encoding to UTF-8. It's always show UTF-16.
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:sap="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
    <SOAP:Envelope xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
      <SOAP:Header>
        <CUNS:HeaderInfo>
          <CUNS:InterfaceTypeId>10006</InterfaceTypeId>
          <CUNS:BusinessPartnerID>11223344</BusinessPartnerID>
          <CUNS:SchemaVersion>1.0</SchemaVersion>
          <CUNS:DateTime>sy-datum</DateTime>
        </CUNS:HeaderInfo>
      </SOAP:Header>
      <SOAP:Body>
        <xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
      </SOAP:Body>
    </SOAP:Envelope>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
In ABAP program, I have written below code for calling above Transformation.
call transformation ('Z_ID')
       source tab = im_t_output[]
       result xml xml_out.
call function 'SCMS_STRING_TO_FTEXT'
    exporting
      text      = xml_out
    tables
      ftext_tab = ex_t_xml_data.
Please help me how to generate XML file with SOAP details from ABAP. If anybody have a sample program, please share with me.
Is there any easy way to create the XML file in CALL Transformation. Please help.
Thanks

Delete a .csv file from desktop system

Hi All,
My requirement is to read the .csv file from the desktop system having the shared folder and delete the file after read successfully.
Here I can read the .csv file from the location using the function RFC_REMOTE_FILE and updated the content into internal table.
But I cant delete the file from the presentation server ( Desktop system).
Can anyone tell me how to delete the .csv file from the desktop system on different location.
Note:
I followed this link to read file:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/9831750a-0801-0010-1d9e-f8c64efb2bd2&overridelayout=true

Hi Rob,
Thanks. I solved this problem myself.
The solution to delete the file from remote system is
concatenate 'DEL' i_filename i_dirname into v_bkfile separated by space .
call function 'RFC_REMOTE_EXEC'
destination c_dest
exporting
    command               = v_bkfile
exceptions
    system_failure        = 1 MESSAGE v_ermsg
    communication_failure = 2 MESSAGE v_ermsg.

Error loading csv file from application server

But i've checked the file and the escape sign, data seperator in it also. Everything is fine. The same file we are able to load successfully in quality system.
How to solve this error??
Thanks in advance.

Hi BI consultant:
   Could you please provide more details?
For example:
1.Is your P application server a UNIX flavor? (Solaris, AIX, UX, Linux)
   If yes..
         2. Are you able to see the contents of the file correctly with a "cat" or "vi" command? (at operating system level).
               If no...
                     3. Did you upload the csv flat file to the server via FTP?
                            If yes...
                                 4. Did you use the "binary" or the "ascii" parameter on the FTP command used to upload the file?
Probably you need to upload the CSV file again to your application server and make sure you can se the file contents ("cat" or "vi" command) before trying to execute the InfoPackage.

Francisco Milán.

Download CSV-File from Interactive Report

Dear all,
I want to download a CSV-File from a Interactive report.
The content of the Rows in Excel:
Erste,"B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M","N","O","P"
IBC ->,"-","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","11","12","13","14" [...]
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks for help.

Your CSV-File use "comma" as separator. But Excel think, that CSV-File separator is "semicolon".
Try to set "CSV Separator"=";" in section "Report Attributes" - "Download".

SSIS 2008 – Read roughly 50 CSV files from a folder, create SQL table from them dynamically, and dump data.

Hello everyone,
I’ve been assigned one requirement wherein I would like to read around 50 CSV files from a specified folder.
In step 1 I would like to create schema for this files, meaning take the CSV file one by one and create SQL table for it, if it does not exist at destination.
In step 2 I would like to append the data of these 50 CSV files into respective table.
In step 3 I would like to purge data older than a given date.
Please note, the data in these CSV files would be very bulky, I would like to know the best way to insert bulky data into SQL table.
Also, in some of the CSV files, there will be 4 rows at the top of the file which have the header details/header rows.
According to my knowledge I would be asked to implement this on SSIS 2008 but I’m not 100% sure for it.
So, please feel free to provide multiple approaches if we can achieve these requirements elegantly in newer versions like SSIS 2012.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ankit

Hello Harry and Aamir,
Thank you for the responses.
@Aamir, thank you for sharing the link, yes I'm going to use Script task to read header columns of CSV files, preparing one SSIS variable which will be having SQL script to create the required table with if exists condition inside script task itself.
I will be having "Execute SQL task" following the script task. And this will create the actual table for a CSV.
Both these components will be inside a for each loop container and execute all 50 CSV files one by one.
Some points to be clarified,
1. In the bunch of these 50 CSV files there will be some exception for which we first need to purge the tables and then insert the data. Meaning for 2 files out of 50, we need to first clean the tables and then perform data insert, while for the rest 48
files, they should be appended on daily basis.
Can you please advise what is the best way to achieve this requirement? Where should we configure such exceptional cases for the package?
2. For some of the CSV files we would be having more than one file with the same name. Like out of 50 the 2nd file is divided into 10 different CSV files. so in total we're having 60 files wherein the 10 out of 60 have repeated file names. How can we manage
this criteria within the same loop, do we need to do one more for each looping inside the parent one, what is the best way to achieve this requirement?
3. There will be another package, which will be used to purge data for the SQL tables. Meaning unlike the above package, this package will not run on daily basis. At some point we would like these 50 tables to be purged with older than criteria, say remove
data older than 1st Jan 2015. what is the best way to achieve this requirement?
Please know, I'm very new in SSIS world and would like to develop these packages for client using best package development practices.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How can you identify these files? Is it based on file name or are there some info in the file which indicates
that it required a purge? If yes you can pick this information during file name or file data parsing step and set a boolean variable. Then in control flow have a conditional precedence constraint which will check the boolean variable and if set it will execute
a execte sql task to do the purge (you can use TRUNCATE TABLE or DELETE FROM TableName statements)
2. For some of the CSV files we would be having more than one file with the same name. Like out of 50 the 2nd file is divided into 10 different CSV files. so in total we're having 60 files wherein the 10 out of 60 have

The best way to achieve this is to append a sequential value to filename (may be timestamp) and then process
them in sequence. This can be done prior to main loop so that you can use same loop to process these duplicate filenames also. The best thing would be to use file creation date attribute value so that it gets processed in the right sequence. You can use a
script task to get this for each file as below
http://microsoft-ssis.blogspot.com/2011/03/get-file-properties-with-ssis.html

with older than criteria, say remove data older than 1st Jan 2015. what is the best way to achieve this requirement?
You can use a SQL script for this. Just call a sql procedure
with a single parameter called @Date and then write logic like below
CREATE PROC PurgeTableData
@CutOffDate datetime
AS
DELETE FROM Table1 WHERE DateField < @CutOffDate;
DELETE FROM Table2 WHERE DateField < @CutOffDate;
DELETE FROM Table3 WHERE DateField < @CutOffDate;
GO
@CutOffDate which denote date from which older data have to be purged
You can then schedule this SP in a sql agent job to get executed based on your required frequency

Sending .xlsx file from ABAP

Hi Experts,
How can we send .XLSX file from ABAP.
I have done as suggested in note 1459896 but it's not working.
I have added the header table with such value
concatenate '&SO_FILENAME=' lv_filename into lv_text_line.
append lv_text_line to lt_att_head.
passing header table to
lo_document->add_attachment( exporting i_attachment_type = 'XLS'
                                  i_attachment_subject = 'AttachmentFilename'
                                  i_attachment_size = lv_size
                                  i_attachment_header = lt_att_head
                                  i_att_content_hex    = binary_content ).
but when I try to open it in SOST it says," file format or extension is not valid " .
Do you think if I send thsi mail to outlook it will work. ?
Thanks
Willi

But SAP note says 1459896 , it can be done
using
filename = 'attachment.xlsx'
concatenate '&SO_FILENAME=' lv_filename into lv_text_line.
append lv_text_line to lt_att_head.
but still not working.

Can we send .csv file from sap srm system to sap pi?

Hi Experts,
we have 3 options send the data from sap systems to sap pi.i. e.proxy,idoc and rfc only
How can we send .csv file from sap srm to sap pi?
Regards,
Anjan

As you know SAP SRM and SAP PI are different boxes.
*_Option 1:_*
we need a shared AL11 directory in between SAP SRM and SAP PI (Ask basis to setup shared folder). Place / Populate the file in the folder from SAP SRM and then it can be picked through sender file communication channel.
In this case you (Basis team) will share one folder which is visible from the AL11 transaction of both the systems (SRM and PI). You will drop .csv file using some report or program from SRM at this location and from PI you can read that file using File communication channel (NFS mode).
Option 2:
Setup a FTP at SRM environment and expose some folder which can be accessible from PI. Use sender file communication channel at PI end to pick the file.
You can use this option incase sharing of folder is not possible (due to network / other constrains). Here FTP server is required to expose any folder as FTP so as it can be accessible from internet (remote location). You need to expose some folder at SRM machine. You will drop .csv file using some report or program from SRM at this location. Now PI can fetch the file from that location using sender file communication channel (FTP Mode) providing user credentials.
Hope it clears now.
