Exporting Local File in background

Hi,
I want to export a flat file in background mode. I am currently using WS_DOWNLOAD but this doesn't work in background. What I think is that I will save it in UNIX directory. Can you please give some sample codes for this? or if there's still a way using WS_DOWNLOAD to do this in background?
I appreciate your response.
Thanks!

Use the transaction CG3Z to upload your file into application server.
Then you can use
open dataset.
transfer dataset.
close dataset.
commands to access that file from application server.

you can use following function modules.

OPEN DATASET FILENAME FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE
MESSAGE MSG_TXT.
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
WRITE: 'Err', MSG_TXT.

F.31- Missing List - Export - Local File Option

Hi Guys,
We have just upgraded to ECC6.0 from 4.6 . An issue we encountered is that one of the methods of exporting the data from F.31 is now grayed out. This is via List->Export->Local file.
Also in the previous version we do have a Statistics at the end of the report, which is not available anymore.
So I'm wondering if this is just by SAP design? Does anyone with ECC6.0 have use of the List->Export->Local file feature?
Thanks

2) schedule the update job ( with the update program in its step ) trigging the event set in (1) .
3) execute the program that upload the local file from presentation server to application server . The last istruction of this program has to be the call ot the custom event using BP_event raise fn module in the uplaoad is ok..

SE16N Export Local File - Header Line Every 60,000 Records

Good Day,
After a recent system upgrade to SAP ECC 6.0 Release 701, Level 007 (from Level 004), we received word that exporting to a local file from SE16N now creates a header line after every 60,000 records. This occurs on both SAP GUI 7.10 Patch 15 and SAP GUI 7.20.
We found notes 1309128 and 1017586, but our service pack level already implements the correction instructions listed. Is there a parameter (either system wide or SAP GUI specific) that needs to be set to disable the header lines? Is there anything else that we can check?
Thank you for any help you may be able to provide!

Hi,
Sure it is unusual.
have you checked whether the "header" was not repeated in the internal table itself?
Best regards,
Guillaume

Local file in background mode

Hi experts,
Is it possible to upload data from local drive(presentation server) to sap in background mode.
As I know ,in the background mode we can upload files from application server only.
but here my functional consultant saying they did upload data from local drive to sap in background mode.
please suggest.
thanks in advance.
sastry.

hey,
Yes it can be made possible,
The only way to access files in a background job is to have them on the application server and opened via OPEN DATASET or similar.
*--Local Variables
DATA : l_file TYPE string,
l_line TYPE string,
l_index TYPE sy-tabix.
*--Clear
CLEAR : l_file.
l_file = p_ipfile.
*--Read the data from application server file.
OPEN DATASET l_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
*--Error in opening file
MESSAGE i368(00) WITH text-005.
ENDIF.
*--Get all the records from the specified location.
DO.
READ DATASET l_file INTO l_line.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
EXIT.
ELSE.
SPLIT l_line AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab
INTO st_ipfile-vbeln
st_ipfile-posnr
st_ipfile-edatu
st_ipfile-wmeng.
APPEND st_ipfile TO it_ipfile.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.

Runtime Error during export ALV Grid to Local File and Print Priview

Hi all,
         While Exporting ALV grid to local file using menu List->export->local file , I m getting following runtime error,
         Field Symbol has not yet been assigned.
Details of Errors:
Program : SAPLKKBL
Include :   LKKBLF99
Module Type : (FORM)
module name : GEN_FIELD_OUT2
So. pls Suggest any good solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandip Sonar.

hi
this is happening just because you might have declared that your ALV list should have a checkbox, but defined no field as "checkbox" into your internal table.
and one more thing to check up is that before you call the REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY, you need to fill a few parameters for instance is_layout. This one has a field box_fieldname, in which you have to enter the name of the field of the internal table that will store the 'X' as and when the checkbox is checked.
hope this helps

Exporting to a local file

Hi,
I have written a report and when i export the output to a local file (using: list - export--local file) it gives me short dump: GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED.
Thank you.
Regards,
Fred.

Hi Fred,
There is no need to use any function module for this requirement. As your report is a ALV report, you can use the standard toolbar of ALV for this purpose.
There is a Export button present on the toolbar.You can proceed this like this:
Export>Local File>spreadsheet(any from options)
So you can tell your client to use this export button in toolbar for downloading purpose.
Hope this solves yours problem.

Export alv grid to local file

Hi all,
         I m displaying records using ALV Grid , I want to export that ALV Grid to Local File ,
using Menu->List->Export->Local File.
       I m able to export it in spreadsheet using option List-> Export->Spreadsheet, but while exporting to local file i m getting short dump with error *Field Symbol Has not yet been Assigned*.
Pls, Suggest any good Solution.
   Thanks & Regards ,
Sandip Sonar.

hi,,,,
In your output are there any empty Columns, Because field Symbol Not assigned generally occurs if any one of your Internal table column is Blank, Just remove that Blank Column and then try it.
Thanks

How to download the application file to local file by back ground job?

hi:
can any one tell me how to download the application file to local file by back ground job? thanks in advance..
Monson

Hi,
In order to download a file from application layer to a local file in background,
first write a report(ZREPORT1) in which do the following steps:
OPEN DATASET g_file_1 FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
loop the g_file and append all the data into another internal table.
end of this report you shd have all the data in the application layer file into your internal table.
Now create another report(ZREPORT2) and submit this report in background.
that is,
JOB_OPEN
JOB_SUBMIT and
JOB_CLOSE
and in job_submit submit ZREPORT1 which downloads the file in application layer.
Please reward points if helpful.

Arul.

List save as local file is greyed out

Hi All,
After the ECC upgrdation, Save as local file path is greyed out for certain t.codes like mmbe, mm60 etc ALV reports
whereas it is okay with mb52, mm5b (normal report)
Path to save as local file is " System>LIST>Save---> Local file, office folders, report tree is greyed out
Is this standard behaviour or a bug?
Raj
Edited by: Raj on Jul 9, 2010 2:27 PM

You have Export option for MM60 report in ECC 6.0 in Menu List-Export-Local file and check.
And for MMBe you will have to do some work to get this option. Go to MMBE and execute and in output screen there is a Print icon click beside this icon and you will get options call print preview of view click on it and it will show print preview from here you can go to list-save-local file
Just check it once
