Extract big table to a delimited file

Hi Gurus,
A big table of size more than 4 GB from 10g DB needed to be extracted/exported into a text file,
the column delimiter is "&|" and row delimiter is "$#".
I cannot do it from TOAD as it is hanging while extraction of big table.
Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You will need to write your own code to do the unload.
One possibility is to write a simple Java program and use JDBC to unload the data. This will let you unload the data to any client you run the app on.
The other advantage of using Java for this is that you can easily ZIP the data as you unload it and use substantially less storage for the resulting file.
See The Java Tutorials for simple examples of querying an Oracle DB and processing the result set.
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jdbc/overview/index.html
Another possibility is to use UTL_FILE. There are plenty of examples in the SQL and PL/SQL forum if you search for them.
There is also a FAQ for 'How do I read of write an Excel file (note - this also includes delimited files).

Large line to internal tables from tab delimited file

Dear All
I am trying to upload the large file of tab delimited data into a SAP internal table. I am basically stuck with the fact that there are multiple lines and multiple columns in tab delimited file. There are around 300 columns which are tab delimited and separated
For e.g (* indicates tab)
1material*****************1**9888**********5**********34*********3*********346************************-->upto 5000 columns
1material*****************1**99338************4***********************************6************7************-->upto 5000 columns
1material*****************1**22888********************5*********7*********************6*****7**************-->upto 5000 columns
1material*****************1**44844************************5***5*********************************************-->upto 5000 columns
1material***********34****1**54*******33********33*****33**************************************************-->upto 5000 columns
1material*****************1**99888*****************************************************************************-->upto 5000 columns
below upto 500 rows or more
I want to read this file into a columner internal table.
I am trying several ways . I have file on APP server. However Line breaks after 1024 characters or comes on another line.
Currently I am not able to load it in single line of internal table. The structure of file is dynamic .. not static

Hi Amolsonaikar,
you may try like this:
TYPES:
begin of line,
t_field type table of string,
end of line,
t_line type table of line.
DATA:
lt_line type t_line,
lv_line type string,
lt_field type table of string.
open dataset 'XYZ' for input in text mode encoding default.
while sy-subrc = 0.
read dataset into lv_line.
split lv_line at '|' into lt_field.
append lt_field to lt_line.
endwhile.

Extract data from Pipe Delimited file

Hi everybody,
Could someone provide me the command to extract data from a pipe delimited file ("|") using Open/Read Data set.
I mean eliminating the delimiter ("|") and just picking the data.
Thanks
M

Here you go.. this code snippet parses the input file record by using pipe (variable lv_pipe) as separator, for tab separated file you can use lv_tab like wise...
TYPES: BEGIN OF ts_field,
           field(50) TYPE c,
         END OF ts_field,
         tt_field TYPE TABLE OF ts_field.
   DATA: ls_record TYPE string,
        ls_input_data TYPE ts_input_data,
        lv_tab TYPE x VALUE '09',
        lv_pipe TYPE C VALUE '|',
        ls_field TYPE ts_field,
        lt_field_tab TYPE tt_field,
        lv_field_index TYPE syindex,
        lv_record_no TYPE syindex.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_field> TYPE ANY.
OPEN DATASET fv_file_path IN TEXT MODE FOR INPUT.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
    DO.
      lv_record_no = lv_record_no + 1.
      READ DATASET fv_file_path INTO ls_record.
      IF sy-subrc NE 0.
        EXIT.
      ELSE.
        SPLIT ls_record AT lv_pipe INTO TABLE lt_field_tab.
        CLEAR: lv_field_index, ls_input_data.
        LOOP AT lt_field_tab INTO ls_field.
          lv_field_index = lv_field_index + 1.
          ASSIGN COMPONENT lv_field_index OF STRUCTURE
            ls_input_data TO <fs_field>.
          IF sy-subrc = 0.
            <fs_field> = ls_field-field.
          ENDIF.
        ENDLOOP.
        APPEND ls_input_data TO ft_input_data.

    CLOSE DATASET fv_file_path.

Extracting clob/blob/long datatypes in delimited file

I have a few tables in database that have clob/blob/long datatypes. I need to unload this data into delimited file and reload the data into another database. I don't want to use export/import.
Currently the code that i have can handle varchar2, number, date datatypes quite easily using sqlloader.
The tables are not too big (hundred to 10k rows approximately) and performance is important but not crucial. The script can run for a few minutes unloading data, that is fine. Code maintenance is of higher priority with pl/sql being the preferred scripting language.
From the sqlloader manual, i glean that use of special delimiter is important, something like <startlob> and <endlob> .
I need ideas on how to do this.

Upload tab-delimited file from the application server to an internal table

Hello SAPients.
I'm using OPEN DATASET..., READ DATASET..., CLOSE DATASET to upload a file from the application server (SunOS). I'm working with SAP 4.6C. I'm trying to upload a tab-delimited file to an internal table but when I try load it the fields are not correctly separated, in fact, they are all misplaced and the table shows '#' where supposedly there was a tab.
I tried to SPLIT the line using as separator a variable with reference to CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB but for some reason that class doesn't exist in my system.
Do you know what I'm doing wrong? or Do you know a better method to upload a tab-delimited file into an internal table?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Display tab delimited file on a VI table

Hi All,
I have a tab delimited file that I want to display using the Table Control.
I tried using tab and /n parameters in a while loop to search the file and display on the table.
However this won't work as the file is of varying size, i.e. some rows only have one column will others have 2.
Is their a simple VI for importing tab delimited files that anyone knows of?
Thanks,
Sean
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Edit: I should have mentioned.
The file is encoded so must decoded. I then have a string so I can't use the open spreadsheet open, rather I need to display the string in a table.

Passing data to different internal tables with different columns from a comma delimited file

Hi,
I have a program wherein we upload a comma delimited file and based on the region( we have drop down in the selection screen to pick the region). Based on the region, the data from the file is passed to internal table. For region A, we have 10 columns and for region B we have 9 columns.
There is a split statement (split at comma) used to break the data into different columns.
I need to add hard error messages if the no. of columns in the uploaded file are incorrect. For example, if the uploaded file is of type region A, then the uploaded file should be split into 10 columns. If the file contains lesser or more columns thenan error message should be added. Similar is the case with region B.
I do not want to remove the existing split statement(existing code). Is there a way I can exactly pass the data into the internal table accurately? I have gone through some posts where in they have made use of the method cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table by passing the field catalog. But I cannot use this as I have two different internal tables to be populated based on the region. Appreciate help on this.
Thanks,
Pavan

Hi Abhishek,
I have no issues with the rows. I have a file with format like a1,b1,c1,d1,e1, the file should be uploaded and split at comma. So far its fine. After this, if the file is related to region A say Asia, then it should have 5 fields( as an example). So, all the 5 values a1,b1..e1 will be passed to 5 fields of itab1.
I also have region B( say Europe) whose file will have only 4 fields. So, file is of the form a2,b2,c2,d2. Again data is split at comma and passed to itab2.
If some one loads file related to Asia and the file has only 4 fields then the data would be incorrect. Similar is the case when someone tries to load Europe file with 5 fields related data. To avoid this, I want to validate the data uploaded. For this, I want to count the no. of fields (seperated by comma). If no. of fields is 5 then the file is related to Asia or if no. of fields is 4 then it is Europe file.
Well, the no. of commas is nothing but no. of fields - 1. If the file is of the form a1,b1..e1 then I can say like if no. of commas = 4 then it is File Asia.But I am not sure how to write a code for this.Please advise.
Thanks,
Pavan

Is there a way to import/export tab delimited files to a table in Pages 2?

It seems like Pages is starting to get funtionality that might help wean me off of Excel. In this vein, is it possible to import or export tab delimited files to a table in Pages 2?

I had some success in Pages 1, but I've only tried a couple of times so far in Pages 2 without success. The trick was to make sure the table is the exact number of columns wide. It's very "klunky" but I've ended up converting the tab-delimited text to a table in AppleWorks, saving the AppleWorks file with the table as a "floating" object (fixed objects don't translate) & opening the file in Pages. It's quicker & easier for most of what I do to just drag & drop in Pages.

Urgent + Search a delimited file for more then one string

Hi All
Urgent please help I am trying to search a file for 2 different strings.
This is how the command prompt will look like
java match "-t|" -4 -f Harvey -10 -f Atlanta callbook.txtPlease help me with identifying how many search criterias have been entered on command prompt.
"-t|" - denotes a delimiter
-4 - denotes the field number
-f - case sensitive
Thanks

Hi
Thanks for your quick response and I apologise I will never put urgent on my posting again.
C:\>java match "-t|" -4 -f Harvey -10 -f Atlanta callbook.txt
This example lists records for Atlanta with first name Harvey.
I am able to get one search criteria but when I have 2 as above (Harvey and Atlanta) I get lost I do not know how to get these arguments from the commandline and still do a search correctly. My code at the moment is doint a hard coded search so I was trying to extract the arguments that's where I got stuck.
The main aim of my app is to search a delimited file for a search criteria passed through a command prompt.
This is what I have done so far.

       Welldesc(35) type c,
     END OF IT_FINAL.

Hi,
i think it is because tou need to uncomment:
     FILETYPE                      = 'ASC'
try it.
Best regards.
