File downloading to Application server

Hi Friends,
I am downloding a file into application server by using open dataset and close data set,
and my file name is 'Test.XLS'.
Now I am moving that file into an excel sheet, here the output was not showing in separate tab.
I want the output field into separate tab, but here it was showing by comma's.
so could u plz guide me what can i do in this case??
thanks in advance,
regards,
Magesh.S

Oh yes, Avinash, Thanks for reminding about it!
Ive recently worked on a development with code as
CONCATENATE tb_output-aufnr
              tb_output-plot_no
              tb_output-ZZ_PROP_NUM
              tb_output-ZZ_ADDRESS1
              tb_output-ZZ_ADDRESS3
              tb_output-ZZ_POSTCODE
              CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE
              INTO objbin-line
              SEPARATED BY CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.
And then downloaded it as .xls and it worked!!

Issue: XML File Downloading to Application Server

Hi All,
I am experiencing an issue downloading an XML File to the Application Server.
I'm using FM SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT to convert SAP data to XML Format.
After getting the XML data into XMLTAB, I'm using:
OPEN DATASET pfile_fs FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE .
     LOOP AT xmltab INTO xmltab_w.
     TRANSFER xmltab_w TO pfile_fs.
      CLEAR xmltab_w.
     ENDLOOP.
   CLOSE DATASET pfile_fs.
The xml file is downloaded show an Error in 'XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource 'file:/shared/TEST/2009'
But when i download xml file using the FM WS_Download , the XML page has no errors .
I am unable to figure out what could be the issue, If this issue is due to some characters like Chinese or Japanese then .. is there any solution for this .
Please, give me your valuable suggestions.
Thank you,
Prasead

Upload and download of excel file in the application server in background

Hi all,
i want to download the excel file from application server into internal table and after processing i have to upload to excel file in the application server in the background mode..
i mean i'll schedule the program in background.
im using FM ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE its working fine in fore ground but not in back ground.
what method i have to follow ?

Hi Ankit,
I think this is not possible to open a Excel-File from the application server because the Excel format before Office 2007 where a binary format (Suffix: .xls). The newer Office file format (Suffix: xlsx) is a zipped XML Format. To read the binary Excel-Format you need an OLE Connection between SAP GUI and Office. But at the application server in background you doesn't have this OLE Connection.
In my opinion you have two possibilities:
1. Convert all files in the CSV format. This file format can be read with open dataset.
2. Upload the files from the presentation server in forground. There are some funktion modules in the standard which can read the xls format. But they have some limits regarding the length of cells content.
My recommendation is solution no. 1. If you know an VBA expert, he can write an Excel-macro which converts all Excel Files in the CSV-Fomat.
Regards
Dirk

Download to application server using job open/close

Hello people,
Currently I am using open/close dataset to download to the application server automatically. What I do here is submit a program execute in background when the report is done the report is automatically downloaded to the application server.
My problem now is that I want to use job open/close. With this, unfortunatley, my current method of open/close dataset will be unsuable to download to application server once the background job is done.
My question is, is there a way for me to automatically download a file to the application server using the job open/close method?
Thank you so much and take care.

Hi,
What you can do is to write a report program that downloads the data to the file on the app server.
Now, you can use the JOB_OPEN and JOB_CLOSE and submit this program in the background which will write the file.
Regards,
Ravi
So what you are saying is that I create two programs, where the job open/close program is the one I will run?
Problem is that I plan to get the values of the selection-options from the original program using the program with the job open/close. How will that work.
Thanks

Error while extracting XML file from the application server

Hi ,
I am writing a XML file into the application server, after which when i try to extract the file to the local server using the report - RFASLDPC ,
the file is extracted, but with a '#' symbol at the first position.
Because of which the XML File does not open. But after i open the file in notepad and manually delete the '#' symbol and then reopen the file, it works fine.
Is there any way to remove the '#' symbol while extracting itself ??
Thanks in advance,
Vikas.

Select the option "No Character Set Conversion" in stead of Code page 1100.
However, I still have troubles -> the downloaded xml file misses a space on several places. This causes errors too.

Problem with pdf display downloaded from application server

Hi all,
I have a problem with displaying pdf downloaded from application server (saved in BINARY MODE).
I am getting the pdf output of adobe form in FPFORMOUTPUT-PDF as rawstring back to my program and then converting that rawstring into binary form using the function module SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING.
Now, when I export the data to presentation server directly using cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download, the pdf is downloaded properly.
However, when I save the data to application server file by looping at the internal table obtained from SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY and using TRANSFER, and subsequently downloading the file in "unconverted format" from AL11 to my desktop, I am getting a "blank" pdf file (with the same number of pages as the one downloaded using gui_download).
I have tried different encodings during download but in those cases i get corrupted pdf message. only the default option of INTIAL value seems to work.
I am forced to believe that there is a problem in my code which saves the data to app server but I cant find any solution that is logical. Any solution to this would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Sasi

used a program to read the file from appl server and then downloading it to desktop.

Various ways to place a File in the Application Server.

Hi all,
 What are the various ways to place a file in the application Server.
 Please classify them as shown below.
 1. Use of ABAP Code.
 2. Without the use of ABAP code.
Regards

Hi
1. Use of ABAP Code.
by writing code like this
REPORT ZSD_EXCEL_INT_APP.
parameter: file_nm type localfile.
types : begin of it_tab1,

 f2(40),

CLOSE DATASET p_file.
loop at it_tab2 into wa_tab2.
write : / wa_tab2-f1,wa_tab2-f2,wa_tab2-f3.
endloop.
Here is a pseudo code for what you are looking for-
OPEN DATASET P_FLPTH FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF SY-SUBRC eq 0.
LOOP AT LT_TAB INTO LS_TAB.
TRANSFER LS_TAB TO P_FLPTH.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET P_FLPTH.
if sy-batch = 'X'.
write:/ 'File uploaded successfully'.
else.
message sXXX with 'File uploaded successfully'.
endif.
Else.
if sy-batch = 'X'.
write:/ 'Error in File upload'.
else.
message sxxx with 'Error in File upload'.
endif.
LEAVE PROGRAM.
ENDIF.
2. Without the use of ABAP code.
