Execute code from a text file ...

Hello ,  Would like to know whether it is possible to have my ABAP code in a text file in desktop and then execute the code by reading it into an ITAB in another ABAP program .
Note : Pl. dont suggest how to upload and create a new program . I dont want to create a new program after uploading into ITAB using INSERT or function modules . I want to execute the code as part of the uploading program only . So that once the execution is complete the uploaded code will not be available in the SAP system.
Thanks in advance ,

Oh dear.  The only solution to your requirement is, sadly, to upload and create a new program, and then one further step.  There is no other way.  So it looks like you'll have to do without.

    Isn't school work marvelous?
    Create an external table.

    Getting the data into a temporary table may make sense in SQL Server ... but not in Oracle.

  • How to input data into an arraylist from a text file?

    I am trying to take data from a text file and put that data into an arraylist. First here is the text file:
    [item1, 10, 125.0, item2, 10, 12.0, item3, 20, 158.0]
    3
    4530.0
    [item5, 65, 555.5, item4, 29, 689.0]
    2
    56088.5
    [item7, 84, 34.5, item6, 103, 0.5, item8, 85, 1.36]
    3
    3065.1The text between the [ ] is the output from my arraylists. I have three arraylists. The first [ ] belongs to arraylist A, the second to arraylist B, and the third to arraylist C. The format of the arraylists is this:
    <item name>,<# in stock>,<value of one item>
    The first number below the arraylists in the text file represents the number of items in the list. The second number below the arraylists represents the total value of the items in the arraylists.

  • I need to read data from a text file and display it in a datagrid.how can this be done..please help

    hey ppl
    i have a datagrid in my form.i need to read input(fields..sort of a database) from a text file and display its contents in the datagrid.
    how can this  be done.. and also after every few seconds reading event should be re executed.. and that the contents of the datagrid will keep changing as per the changes in the file...
    please help as this is urgent and important.. if possible please provide me with an example code as i am completely new to flex... 
    thanks.....  

    It's not possible to read from a file without using classes from the core API*. You'll have to get clarification from your instructor as to which classes are and are not allowed.

  • Reading a Random Line from a Text File

    Hello,
    I have a program that reads from a text file words. I currently have a text file around 800KB of words. The problem is, if I try to load this into an arraylist so I can use it in my application, it takes wayy long to load. I was wondering if there was a way to just read a random line from the text file.
    Here is my code, and the text file that the program reads from is called 'wordFile'

    I thought that maybe serializing the ArrayList might be faster than creating the ArrayList by iterating over each line in the text file. But alas, I was wrong. Here's my code anyway:
    class WordList extends ArrayList<String>{
      long updated;
    WordList readWordList(File file) throws Exception{
      WordList list = new WordList();
      BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
      String line = null;
      while ((line = in.readLine()) != null){
        list.add(line);
      in.close();
      list.updated = file.lastModified();
      return list;
    WordList wordList;
    File datFile = new File("words.dat");
    File txtFile = new File("input.txt");
    if (datFile.exists()){
      ObjectInputStream input = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream(datFile));
      wordList = (WordList)input.readObject();
      if (wordList.updated < txtFile.lastModified()){

  • Understanding compile errors due to copying code from a doc file and not a txt file

    SITUATION:
    My instructor for my micro-controller class refuses to save sample code to a text file and instead saves it to a word document file instead. When I open up the doc file and copy/paste the code into my IDE "CodeWarrior" it causes errors upon compile time.
    I am having to rewrite all the code into a text editor and then copy/paste it into my IDE.
    MY UNDERSTANDING:
    I was told to always save code as a text file because when you save code as a word document file it will bring in unwanted characters when your copy/pasting the code into your IDE for compiling.
    Their are students in my class using the schools computers running "Windows" that copied and pasted the code into CodeWarrior and it compiled fine. This is not only frustrating but confusing. However, I know their are students in class with "PC's" running windows that had the same trouble I did so I know it's not a Mac issue. 
    Also I am running "Parallels" because my IDE for this micro-controller "Code Warrior" is not avaiable for my OS. I realize there are several IDE's out there that require "Windows OS" in general but I know this situation is not a Mac issue or Parallels issue or even a Windows issue. It's purly an issue of formatting that is done between the file being copied and the target program or so I'm understanding.
    Can someone exlain to me in better words or perhaps provide a resource, documentation or article that will enlighten me on this issue. I would like to better state my case next time. I'm tired of being told this is a MAC issue and that Windows is just plain better.

    The problem is (as you suggest) almost certainly a gremlin issue - characters that for one reason or another Code Warrior cannot interpret correctly. Why it happens to you and not others is a different matter. That could mean that the pofessor uses fonts that are not on your machine, or that he is using a different version of word, or it could be in how you access the data. For instance, if the prof posts this word doc on the web you may get different results if you download the file and open it in Word as opposed to opening it directly from a web browser.
    The sure-fire solution is to download TextWrangler and copy the code in there first. TW has a number of tools for finding and removing unpleasant characters. it adds a step, but... you could also try resaving the doc file as a plain text file from within word.

  • Reading characters from a text file into a multidimensional array?

    I have an array, maze[][] that is to be filled with characters from a text file. I've got most of the program worked out (i think) but can't test it because I am reading my file incorrectly. However, I'm running into major headaches with this part of the program.
    The text file looks like this: (It is meant to be a maze, 19 is the size of the maze(assumed to be square). is free space, # is block, s is start, x is finish)
    This didn't paste evenly, but thats not a big deal. Just giving an idea.
    19
    5..................
    And my constructor looks like follows, I've tried zillions of things with the input.hasNext() and hasNextLine() to no avail.
    Code:
    //Scanner to read file
    Scanner input = null;
    try{
    input = new Scanner(fileName);
    }catch(RuntimeException e) {
    System.err.println("Couldn't find the file");
    System.exit(0);
    //Set the size of the maze
    while(input.hasNextInt())
    size = input.nextInt();
    //Set Limits on coordinates
    Coordinates.setLimits(size);
    //Set the maze[][] array equal to this size
    maze = new char[size][size];
    //Fill the Array with maze values
    for(int i = 0; i < maze.length; i++)
    for(int x = 0; x < maze.length; x++)
    if(input.hasNextLine())
    String insert = input.nextLine();
    maze[i][x] = insert.charAt(x);
    Any advice would be loved =D

    Code-tags sometimes cause wonders, I replaced # with *, as the code tags interprets # as comment, which looks odd:
    ******...*.........To your code: Did you test it step by step, to find out about what is read? You could either use a debugger (e.g., if you have an IDE) or system outs to get a clue. First thing to check would be, if the maze size is read correctly. Further, the following loops look odd:for(int i = 0; i < maze.length; i++) {
        for(int x = 0; x < maze.length; x++) {
            if (input.hasNextLine()) {
                String insert = input.nextLine();
                maze[x] = insert.charAt(x);
    }Shouldn't the nextLine test and assignment be in the outer loop? And assignment be to each maze's inner array? Like so:for(int i = 0; i < maze.length; i++) {
        if (input.hasNextLine()) {
            String insert = input.nextLine();
            for(int x = 0; x < insert.size(); x++) {
                maze[i][x] = insert.charAt(x);
    }Otherwise, only one character per line is read and storing a character actually should fail.

  • Reading parameters lists from a text file

    Hi All,
    Using CR XI R2 with VB6  and external .rpt files - - - - -
    In a VB6 app I use VB to loop through my tables to create dynamic parameter lists (CR XI is limited to the number of parameters it can create from the table). This works well but each time the user refreshes the report the same code is run to re-create the parameter list which is redundant and slows down the report(s).
    Is it possible to manually create a series of text files - say each morning - and then read the parameter lists from the text file(s) at runtime instead of doing it on the fly each time?
    Thanks in advance!
    Peter Tyler
    Geneva - Switzerland

    I find this sentence confusing:
    Is it possible to manually create a series of text files - say each morning - and then read the parameter lists from the text file(s) at runtime instead of doing it on the fly each time?
    Typically, runtime means on the fly - I think...
    So, I'm not sure if you are trying to read a saved data report and filter that saved data so that you do not have to hit the database(?).
    Creating a text file is beyond the support of this forum, though that should be a trivial exercise. Reading a text file and passing the results to a parameter is the same thing you are doing already, so I'm not sure where the hang up would be here(?)
    Or - rather than creating a text file, why not create a temp table and query it as you do when you loop through the tables to create dynamic parameter lists(?).
    I'm pretty lost here...

  • Reading in integers from a text file

    Hi, I am going to go for the 'reading in from a text file' action as I haven't done this before. So I have been looking at all the examples and am trying the one out below :) My question is that though the structure seems pretty straightforward, what is the action of the 'token' and why doesn't java recognise it as it is used in many different examples that I have seen?
    public static int[] getIntegersFromFile(String fileName) throws IOException {
                   StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
                   BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName));
                   List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>();
                   for (String line = reader.readLine(); line != null; line = reader.readLine()) {
                   writer.write(line + " ");
                   StringTokenizer tokens = new StringTokenizer(writertoString());
                   while (tokens.hasMoreTokens()) {
                        String str = tokens.nextToken();
                        try {
                             list.add(new Integer(str));
                             } catch (NumberFormatException e) {
                                  System.out.println("Error '" + str + "' is not an integer.");
                   int[] array = new int[list.size()];
                        for( int i = 0; i < array.length; i++){
                        array[i] = list.get(i);
                   return array;
         }

    Hey, first of all, a piece of advice, try formatting your codes you make easier
    to understand for the people who help you. You can check out the
    formatting tips
    Now, A think that could help you a lot, is the next link, seek out the
    documentation for the StringTokenizer class
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/
    Here your code formated and later my interpretation of your question.
    public static int[] getIntegersFromFile(String fileName) throws IOException {
       StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
       BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName));
       List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>();
       for (String line = reader.readLine(); line != null; line = reader.readLine()) {
          writer.write(line + " ");
       StringTokenizer tokens = new StringTokenizer(writertoString());
       while (tokens.hasMoreTokens()) {
          String str = tokens.nextToken();
          try {
             list.add(new Integer(str));
          } catch (NumberFormatException e) {
             System.out.println("Error '" + str + "' is not an integer.");
       int[] array = new int[list.size()];
       for( int i = 0; i < array.length; i++){
          array = list.get(i);
       return array;
    }StringTokenizer separates the string contained by the space character, and
    each piece of the separated string is stored into the token.
    Further on, could you extend your question about "why doesn't Java
    recognize what?" please, because I don't know if you have a problem
    iterating or is just that it doesn't compile or what.
    Expecting your answer, to complete mine, cya around.
    -Best Regards.

  • How to save input from a text file in to array

    I got this assignment, and almost have no clue, and my teacher doesn't even teaches us anything
    This is what i am suppose to do
    5. The program must store the following data about each student in this Talent Show:
    * The student's name (store as a String)
    * The student's average time score [only for the events they competed in] (store as a Double)
    Note: Some of the data comes directly from the text file, and some of the data must be calculated from the data that is read from the file.
    6. The program must search through all of the student's scores to find the student who has the minumum average time of all students.
    7. You must calculate how many events each student played. Zero values are not counted.
    8. You must then generate a report on the screen that prints out
    * the total number of students in the competition,
    * the winning student's ...
    o name
    o times
    o average time (rounded to one decimal places)
    Sample output
    btw this is the data file

  • Filling an object ArrayList from a text file

    Hi all,
    I am developing a project (for university) which has a class named "SupplierAgent", which is required to keep database of custom objects of type "InventoryItem". Basically these consist of a String (for the name of the item), an int representing the quantity on hand, and an int representing the unit price (in cents). I wish to have this inventory loaded from a text file rather than a binary file - that way the user can add new items to the file before loading the agent.
    I have included the code below, which works provided the file is rigidly structured. The main problem is the user having to type the path to the file: I cannot guarantee the user will have the file in any folder, and so the user is required to type in the absolute path. Is there any way to make this less annoying? Or is there a better way of loading a preset inventory while allowing the user to edit that inventory at will?
    I have included the current code below. it's not exactly in accordance with coding standards, because we are using the JADE agent architecture (hence why the method is called "action") rather than something more informative.
    I should also mention that it uses a command line interface. The "io" class basically includes a scanner and the System.out.println method. Its "yesOrNo()" method is for convenience: it asks the user a question and allows them to select y or n.
    public void action() {
                boolean loadFromFile = io.yesOrNo("Would you like to load the inventory from a file?");
                if(loadFromFile) {
                    BufferedReader br = null;
                    boolean fileFound = false;
                    while(!fileFound) {
                        io.output("Please enter the absolute path to the file, including filename extension:  ");
                        inventoryFile = io.input();
                        try {
                            FileReader fr = new FileReader(inventoryFile);
                            br = new BufferedReader(fr);
                            fileFound = true;
                        catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                            io.output("File not found.  ");
                    String fileLine = null;
                    int lineNumber = 1;
                    InventoryItem item = null;
                    try {
                        while((fileLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
                            switch((lineNumber % 4)) {
                            case 1: item = new InventoryItem();
                                    item.setName(fileLine); break;
                            case 2: item.setQuantity(Integer.parseInt(fileLine));
                            case 3: item.setPrice(Integer.parseInt(fileLine));
                            case 0: inventory.add(item);
                        io.output("Inventory loaded successfully\n");
                    catch(Exception e) {
                        io.output("Error at line " + lineNumber + " of inventory file\n");
                        io.output("Unable to fill inventory.  Please ensure file is structured correctly\n");
                        io.output("See readme for explanation of file structure requirements\n");
                        myAgent.doDelete();
            }Edited by: Swiftslide on Apr 22, 2010 6:34 PM

    You can use JFileChooser to allow the user to navigate to the required file.

  • How to Add points on graph from a text File ?

    Hello and Good Morning to all,
    I have a text file with my data and i read them by using the Read From Spreadsheet File VI,i enter the path where my file is saved,read all rows delete the first row because i don't need it and my problem is that in the text folder i have specified date and time which i want to be my X axis in my Graph and Y axis to be the Vout that means i have to use a XY Graph ,below you can see my data:
    Date        time              Vout  
    3-9-2012 7:45:37            2,35
    3-9-2012 7:45:39            2,75
    3-9-2012 7:45:41            3,15
    3-9-2012 7:45:43            3,50
    1) Is the text file format compatible with the input of the graph command?
    I do not find a LabVIEW function which convert the “date” from the text file (example:3/09/2012 07:45:37) into a compatible format for X axis for the graph.
    (Conversion from string format => into a “date and time” format)
    Can someone please provide a code solution for this problem?

    Some tips:
    1) If you are adding or deleting stuff from a text file you need to write a new, modified file and then, optionally, do something like:
    rename the old file to whatever.bak or the like.
    rename the new file to the old.
    2) Don't depend on System.out so much on a GUI application. For example if you get an exception use javax.swing.JOptionPane to display an alert (and show the message from the exception). You can write the stack trace to System.out if you want.
