Field Values being changed in the flat file on Application Server

Hi All,
I am loading a flat file(.CSV) from Application server. The file has some characteristic fields, for ex: CNUM of type Char, length 20. But it has got the value which is of 10 char length, say XYZ1234XAB. When I load the same fiel from client workstation, the load was successful but when I load it from Application server, the load has failed and the error is Invalid/Hex. characteristics for this record and many such records.
When I checked the file on the application server the value 'XYZ1234XAB' is being displayed as 'XYZ1234XAB #' and it is also being loaded with '#'. This is the cause of the error.
Why is the value being changed on the application server? What can I do to overcome this?
Thanks,
RPK.

Hi Ganesh,
I have already loaded data to my ODS and when activating it is giving error "Value 'XYZ123XABC #' (hex. '123456....') of characteristic CNUM contains invalid chara".
I also have some lower case char in some of the records for the same field. The file is huge and cannot change the file, infact I have many such files. Is there any other way to overcome this?
Thanks,
RPK

How to delete the Generated files from application server(open hub)?

hi experts,
when i try to execute process chain the DTP it is giving below dump. Exception CX_RSBK_REQUEST_LOCKED logged.
when i execute the DTP manually and trying to delete the previous request, it is giving for dump ITAB_DUPLICATE_KEY.
so to delete the generated file from application server, how to delete it for specific dates?
Information on where terminated
Termination occurred in the ABAP program "GPD6S3OE0BCVGC6L9DBNVYQARZM" - in
"START_ROUTINE".
The main program was "RSBATCH_EXECUTE_PROZESS ".
In the source code you have the termination point in line 2874
of the (Include) program "GPD6S3OE0BCVGC6L9DBNVYQARZM".
The program "GPD6S3OE0BCVGC6L9DBNVYQARZM" was started as a background job.
and when i check the dump it is point out at below code
" Populate the lookup table for 0STOR_LOC
SELECT * from /BI0/TSTOR_LOC
into CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF table L_0STOR_LOC_TEXT
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN SOURCE_PACKAGE WHERE
STOR_LOC = SOURCE_PACKAGE-STOR_LOC.
but the programme is syntactically correct only.
how to rectify the issue.

hi experts,
We have written start routine to get the storage location text and sending to File located at Application server through OPEN HUB.
here is the code written in the Transformations
In the global section
Text for 0STOR_LOC
    DATA: l_0stor_loc_text TYPE HASHED TABLE OF /bi0/tstor_loc
          WITH UNIQUE KEY stor_loc.
    DATA: l_0stor_loc_text_wa TYPE /bi0/tstor_loc.
and in the code to get the text
" Populate the lookup table for 0STOR_LOC
    *SELECT * from /BI0/TSTOR_LOC*
      into CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF table L_0STOR_LOC_TEXT
      FOR ALL ENTRIES IN SOURCE_PACKAGE WHERE
              STOR_LOC = SOURCE_PACKAGE-STOR_LOC.
im sure there is problem with the Routine only. i think i need to change the code if so please provide me the modified one.
thanks

Logical path for getting a Flat file from application server

Hi All,
We have loaded some .csv files to application server, what is the logical path we have to mention in the infopackage scheduler screen? please guide me how to give the path for getting a flat file from application server.
Thanks,
Sairam.

Hi Sairam,
I hope you know which location you have saved in the Application server.
Now if you go to the Infopackage and click on the "External Data" tab, there you will see Radio Buttons for
1) Client Workstation
2) Application Server
Choose the second radio button, then in the Field "Name of the File" you will be able to use the F4 help and browse AL11 transaction through this option. You can then choose the File.
Hope this helps

Praveen.

Error in Downloading the Text file on Application Server

Hi All,
          I am working on ECC6.0. I have written a program in whcih I am downloading the text file on
          application server in UTF-8 format. However when I am opening this file in Excel I am getting
          garbage value for some characters(as Excel does not support UTF-8 format). So now I
          want to download the data on application server in text file in non unicode format(Like ANSI or
          other non unicode format) which is supported by excel. When I am writing the code as
          OPEN DATASET DN_FILE FOR OUTPUT IN LEGACY TEXT MODE it is giving me dump saying
          CHARACTER CONVERSION FROM CODE PAGE '4102' to CODEPAGE '1100' NOT POSSIBLE.
          Same in case if I add the code OPEN DATASET DN_FILE FOR OUTPUT IN LEGACY TEXT
          MODE CODE PAGE '8000' is also giving dump.
          So please let me know how can I download the file in non unicode format ?
          Any help would be greatly appricated.
Thanks & Regards
Jitendra Gujarathi.

OPEN DATASET l_filename FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS.
CHECK sy-subrc EQ 0.
DO.
    CLEAR wa_file_content.
    READ DATASET l_filename INTO wa_file_content.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      APPEND wa_file_content TO it_file_content.
    ELSE.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.

CLOSE DATASET l_filename.
t_filedata[] = it_file_content[].
can you use like this.

Creation of Flat file in Application Server

Hi,
Can you please clarify what is Logical file path and Physical file pathe.
Also how to create a flat file in Application Server with Logical and Physical file paths.
Thanks

Hi Yasaswini,
Physical file is what you see from the OS level.
Logical file is what ABAP code can call certain functions to read/write.
Transaction FILE would link them together. Typically the logical path ends with "<FILENAME>", and the logical file refers to the logical path. You can check the help for more info.

Problem Reading Flat File from Application server

Hi All,
I want to upload a Flat File which is having a Line Length of 3000.
While uploading it to Application server , only upto 555 length it is getting uploaded .
i am using the code :
DATA: BEGIN OF TB_DATA OCCURS 0,
        LINE(3000),
      END OF TB_DATA.
*----Uploading the flat file from the Local drive using FM "UPLOAD".
OPEN DATASET TB_FILENAM-DATA FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE." ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
WRITE:/ 'Unable to open file:', TB_FILENAM-DATA.
ELSE.
LOOP AT TB_DATA.
    TRANSFER TB_DATA TO TB_FILENAM-DATA.
ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
CLOSE DATASET TB_FILENAM-DATA.
What could be the problem?
Could it be due to any Configuration Problem?
Waiting for your replies.
Thanks and Regards.
Suki

Your code looks OK, but you may have touble displaying the full width. Try:
WRITE: /001 TB_FILENAM-DATA+555.
(And don't forget to append your ITAB after each read.)

LSMW - How to view the flat file on App Server

Hi All,
I'm trying to take a look at BC420_DOC_1_HEAD_POS.LEG which is the file for LSMW training BC420. However, this file is stored on the application (NT) server to which I have no access. Can I browse this file using R/3 utilities?
I just want to see what a flat file for the training course looks like.
Thanks so much!
Roman

Hi Roman,
In general, the users will not have access to the directories on the application server directly at the OS level. You will have to go through an SAP program / transaction.
Look at the transaction AL11. If the file that you are talking about resided in any of the directories listed in there you will be able to navigate to it.

How to edit flat file in application server

Hi all,
I have requirment of flat file load. User will update flat file and I need to upload data in cube. I am done with loading data from application server flat file to cube Now I want to know where this file will be stored so user can update the data .
Do i need to store it some where in application sever only ? I checked my current file data but it's not in editable form.
Please let me know your expert suggestion.
Thanks.
P.S. - Point will be provided as required.

Neither user or you can not upload or edit the CSV files directly from the AL11(Application level directories).
Using this Functional Module: ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER you can upload the file from your machine to AL11
Note: you must have an authorization to execute this FM in PRD! otherwise you can follow the below procedure.
(Or)
As you data flow is from a flat file, you can ask your basis team to run a FTP program, so that when ever user give a new file every day, using the FTP program the latest file will upload into the AL11 directories. you can execute data using the Info package as usual from AL11.
