Export data as fixed length ASCII text file

Hi,
Can someone tell me how to export query data or the data in a table as a fixed length text file. I use PL/SQL developer to query the data.
Many thanks,

If you use SQL*Plus, you could try the following.

Export Data To Fixed Length File

Hello,
I have a requirement to export a couple of files that need to be in a fixed length format.
I've tried opening the dataset and writing the records passing the column that the records should appear:
    WRITE /, field1, 10 field2, etc...
I've also tried to do it through SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT and the text version as well.
Is there a predefined function that will allow me to export as fixed length?
Thank you in advance

Hi Jeff,
Following is the code to do the same:
DATA: file TYPE string VALUE `flights.dat`,
      wa   TYPE spfli.
FIELD-SYMBOLS TYPE x.
OPEN DATASET file FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.
SELECT *
       FROM spfli
       INTO wa.
ASSIGN wa TO CASTING.
TRANSFER TO file.
* TRANSFER LENGTH 200 to file.
ENDSELECT.
CLOSE DATASET file.
Best regards,
Prashant

Export data from a table to text file using srcipt task

Hi
i am new to SSIS
i have to export data from a table and append it into a existing file through SSIS script task
please help
Thanks
Umesh

Hi Umesh,
The data structure of the source table and the structure of the destination file are the same, right? Is the destination file a flat file? Do you have to do it through Script Task? If the destination file is a flat file, this can be done easily by using
the stock tasks/components other than .NET code. In the Data Flow Task, we choose the appropriate source adapter (such as OLE DB Source or ADO.NET Source) to extract data from the source table, perform transformation if necessary, and then load to the destination
file via a Flat File Destination. When setting up the Flat File Destination, uncheck the “Overwrite data in the file” option so that the extracted data will be appended to the existing file.
If you need to implement it through Script Task/Component indeed, you may benefit from the following code examples:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8467326/add-header-and-footer-row-flat-file-ssis
If you need further help about the script, I suggest that you ask a new question in .NET forums where you can get more dedicated support:

Download data to Fixed Length Text File

Can anyone share the sample code on how to download data into fixed length text file and place the file in the server directory?

One way i would advice is to declare a text variable and move values using offset.
Eg:
move: <struc>-fld1 to l_text(8),
<struc>-fld2 to l_text+8(3),
<struc>-fld3 to l_text+11(15).
transfer l_text to <file>.
Try this approch and see the result.
Kind Regards

Is there a way to import data in a spreadsheet or text file into Contacts v7?

Is there a way to import data in a spreadsheet or text file into Contacts v7? I have a list of about 500 people and their email addresses in FileMaker Pro that I can export in a number of formats that can be manipulated. Is there any way to get those contacts into Contacts without entering them one at a time?

I have answered my own question. I exported the data from a layout in FileMaker Pro containing the required fields as tab separated text. That produced a .tab file that Contacts wanted nothing to do with. However, when I changed the .tab in the file name to .txt, Contacts accepted it as a file to import (File/Import). I then identified the field in Contacts in which the data in each field in the txt file was to be placed and in it went! The trick was changing .tab to .txt in the name of the file exported by FileMaker Pro.

How do I export/import keyboard shortcuts to a text file

How do I export/import keyboard shortcuts to a text file?
It would be nice to export them, edit and/or add to them in a text editor on my iMac, then import them back into iPhone and iPad.

You can backup the bookmarks to a file, then copy that file to the new computer and import them, for details see [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]].
You can copy more than just the bookmarks. The user data, such as bookmarks and passwords, are stored in the profile folder. You can copy the data manually by copying the contents of the profile folder, for details see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup Profile backup - MozillaZine Knowledge Base] or [[Backing up your information]].
There are some add-ons and utilities that can make this process easier. The first one is the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2109/ FEBE] add-on which can be used to copy a profile. Another option is the free [http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/ MozBackup] utility.

links or steps I think there is no such operation, But you have some alternate.
1) take export of database
2) import into SQL file.

How to export data in fixed lengh format

I want to take data in 4 tables, and export the data to a fixed lenght flat file format. Then have that file sent to an email address. How can I do this?

Suzie,
I never used Toad ;-) But I always use the Oracle SQL Developer instead (which is for free by the way).
SQL Developer gets installed with every 11g database installation but you could install it also to your 9.2 or 10.x environment - just grab it from otn.oracle:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/sql/index.html
(will take two minutes to install). Then you'd just define your connection to your target database, go into REPORTS (left side) and define a USER DEFINED REPORT. That's pretty easy because for instance you'd just say 'select * from scott.emp;' - once the report gets executed just move your mouse over one of the rows, hit the right mouse buttom and choose the last entry: EXPORT DATA - you'll have the options of TEXT, CSV, SQL LOADER FORMAT, INSERT, XML, HTML and XLS ;-)
Another possibility within SQL*Plus would be using the column format options (the font of this webpage scrambles the output columns but in SQL*Plus you'll get everything formated in a fixed length format:
column "info" format A11
column "P1" format 99999
column "P2" format 99999
column "P3" format 99999
SELECT Info " ", P1, P2, P3
FROM tr_PortfolioSummary
ORDER BY SortOrder
P1 P2 P3
Nb Bonds 10 40 40
Nb Warrants 20 50 50
Nb Shares 30 60 60
Kind regards

Manual Exporting of BLOB specific table to text file

Hi,
Our application is having 60000 record in a BLOB specific table.
My requirement is to export the entire table data to text files .
When I tried converting BLOB to sting and writing to file, it took almost 3 mins for 100 records, if so, will take so much of time in exporting data from BLOB specific table.
I am using the following logic,
byte[] bdata = blob.getBytes(1, (int)blob.length());
String data1 = new String(bdata);
buffer.append(data1);
Can anyone please tell me how can I speed up the operation.

Welcome to the forum!
If you are looking for a pure Java solution you should post this question in the JDBC forum.
https://forums.oracle.com/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=288
Unless your BLOB data is located inline you are going to use Oracle to read 60,000 files, one at a time, and then use Java to write 60,000 files one at a time.
That will be a very slow process.
Also - your Java code is only going to read the LOB locator and inline BLOB data since you are not getting and processing the actual stream.
See 'Reading and Writing BLOB, CLOB and NCLOB Data' in the JDBC Dev Guide for details

Data from planning cube to TEXT FILE IN directories of BW

hi all
i have 2 transactional planning cubes in BW. the data in these cubes in bw needs to be uploaded monthly in to a single text file so that APO system can access the data for some purpose.
my question is how to upload the data from transactional cubes to the text file, which is more detailed. is that use ful to construct a ODS or CUBE(basic) on top of the transactional cubes.
if i keep the file in BW directory whethere APO can access that.?..
please help me out
praveen.

Hi,
You could create a multicube over your 2 transactional cubes and extract your data with a query on the multicube.
Make sure you restrict 0REQUID 'request id' using 0S_RQMRC 'most current data' to be sure you extract the most recently planned data.
No need to convert the transactional cubes to basic cubes.
To download the query I think you have to use the reporting agent of the broadcaster.
Thanks for you points if you found this helpful or if this solved your problem.

How to remove noisy data points read from a text file

Reading data measurements taken in from a txt file. How do I get rid of noise aside from going into the text file and deciding point by point what to delete.

Well going in point by point and deleting is certainly one way of going about it. Of course that would defeat the entire purpose of having this great programming enviroment that is capable of doing that kind of thing for us.
Is your text file small enough to upload? Obviously you know what the criteria are for judging whether or not a data point is acceptable so it should be simple enough to program. Give us a bit more information and I can assure you there will be a race between LabVIEW experts to see who can post the cleanest, simplest, and fastest piece of code that will do what you need. My wager is on altenbach, but there are a few others here that are almost as impressive.
