Flat file to internal table

Hi all,
I have a structure where i am reading flat file from Open Dataset in text mode in a variable of character type with length 1000.
then seperating the fields from that row by horizontal tab.
now i got values in structure and i want to store it in internal table.
Pls tell me how to do it.
My Code is like this:
DATA: BEGIN OF str_bsik,
        bukrs TYPE bsik-bukrs,
        lifnr TYPE bsik-lifnr,
        gjahr TYPE bsik-gjahr,
        belnr TYPE bsik-belnr,
       END OF str_bsik.
DATA: it_bsik_flat TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF str_bsik "Flat file values
             INITIAL SIZE 0, it_bsik_flat_wa TYPE str_bsik.
data : infile(20) type C value 'vendor8', "Default Flat File.
       V_RECORD(1000) type C.                "to store 1 row.
OPEN DATASET infile FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE encoding default.
DO.
    READ DATASET infile INTO V_RECORD.
    SPLIT V_RECORD
    AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab
    INTO
    str_bsik-bukrs
    str_bsik-lifnr
    str_bsik-gjahr
    str_bsik-belnr.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0 or V_RECORD = ''.
      EXIT.
    ELSE.
      MOVE str_bsik-bukrs to it_bsik_flat_wa-bukrs.
      MOVE str_bsik-lifnr to it_bsik_flat_wa-lifnr.
      MOVE str_bsik-gjahr to it_bsik_flat_wa-gjahr.
      MOVE str_bsik-belnr to it_bsik_flat_wa-belnr.
      append str_bsik to it_bsik_flat_wa.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.
CLOSE DATASET infile.

Sachin.

GUI_UPLOAD to upload flat file to internal table

Hi Experts,
I have to upload a flat file which has multiple records ,from a local server.The fields in records are ~ saperated.
Presently i am only looking into uploading the flat file into internal table.
I have done the following coding;

I am unable to understand why this split is happening .According to me the first 3 fields should be displayed without field saperater.
It would be very much appreciated if any body has little idea about this.
Thankx,

Short dump while reading a currency field from Flat file into internal tabl

Hi,
I am getting a short dump........saying number conversion dump (while reading a currency value into field in internal table from a fixed lenght flat file).........
Do I need to use a string variable to get the value from flat file or how ??
Please suggest.

Santosh,
Thanks for your inputs,
But my internal table type is of DEC (5,2) , I am getting that... it needs to be of type 'C'. Can you suggest.
Ex :
MOVE wa_temp-infile_string+106(8) TO wa_item-QT_PERCENT
This didnt work
so i tried moving into a seperate variable
MOVE wa_temp-infile_string+106(8) TO v_percent.
and then write to
WRITE v_percent to wa_item-QT_PERCENT.

Uploading CSV file into internal table

Hi,
I want to upload a CSV file into internal table.The flat file is having values as below:
'AAAAA','2003-10-11 07:52:37','167','Argentina',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,'MX1',NULL,NULL,'AAAA BBBB',NULL,NULL,NULL,'1',NULL,NULL,'AR ',NULL,NULL,NULL,'ARGENT','M1V','MX1',NULL,NULL,'F','F','F','F','F',NULL,'1',NULL,'MX','MMI ',NULL
'jklhg','2004-06-25 08:01:57','456','hjllajsdk','MANAGUA ',NULL,NULL,'265-5139','266-5136 al 38','MX1',NULL,NULL,'hjgkid GRÖBER','sdfsdf dfs asdfsdf 380 ad ased,','200 as ads, sfd sfd abajao y 50 m al sdf',NULL,'1',NULL,NULL,'NI ',NULL,NULL,NULL,'sdfdfg','M1V','dds',NULL,NULL,
Here I can not even split at ',' because some of the values are having value like NULL and some have values with comma too,
The delimiter is a quote and the separator is a comma here.
Can anyone help on this?
Thanks.
Edited by: Ginger on Jun 29, 2009 9:08 AM

As long as there can be a comma in a text literal you are right that the spilt command doesn't help. However there is one possibility how to attack this under one assumption:
- A comma outside a text delimiter is always considered a separator
- A comma inside a text delimiter is always considered a comma as part of the text
You have to read you file line by line and then travel along the line string character by character and setting a flag or counter for the text delimiters:
e.g.
"Text","Text1, Text2",NULL,NULL,"Text"
String Index 1: EQ " => lv_delimiter = 'X'
String Index 2: EQ T => text literal (because lv_delimiter = 'X')
String Index 3: EQ e => text literal (because lv_delimiter = 'X')
String Index 4: EQ x => text literal (because lv_delimiter = 'X')
String Index 5: EQ t => text literal (because lv_delimiter = 'X')
String Index 6: EQ " => lv_delimiter = ' ' (because it was 'X' before)
String Index 7: EQ , => This is a separator because lv_delimiter = ' '
String Index 8: EQ " => lv_delimiter = 'X' (because it was ' ' before)
String Index 9: EQ T => text literal (because lv_delimiter = 'X')
String Index 10: EQ e => text literal (because lv_delimiter = 'X')
String Index 11: EQ x => text literal (because lv_delimiter = 'X')
String Index 12: EQ t => text literal (because lv_delimiter = 'X')
String Index 13: EQ 1 => text literal (because lv_delimiter = 'X')
String Index 14: EQ , => text literal (because lv_delimiter = 'X')
String Index 15: EQ T => text literal (because lv_delimiter = 'X')
Whenever you hit a 'real' separator (lv_delimiter = ' ') you pass the value of the string before that up to the previous separator into the next structure field.
This is not an easy way to do it, but if you might have commas in your text literal and NULL values I gues it is probably the only way to go.
Hope that helps,
Michael

if you note 11G some how does not allow me to have constant operator in flat file maps. and the constant for PHONE_COUNTRY column is enclosed in double quotes insted of single quotes.[should be 'Asia' and not ''Asia'']
can any one tell me why this is heppening?...i also have problem with the READ BUFFER property. which in 10G used to be defulted to '4' but ignored which generating the .ctl but in 11G this property creates READ BUFFERS statement in .ctl....any help in this will be grt.

if you note 11G some how does not allow me to have constant operator in flat file maps. and the constant for >PHONE_COUNTRY column is enclosed in double quotes insted of single quotes.Hi
Please open the same mapping in 10g R2 its same .
It use Double code around the column name.
By the way execute the mapping and then check are you getting desired result.

How can I get data in flat file from Pool table and cluster table ?

Hi,
I am working in one Achiving project. My requirement is to get data into flat file from Cluster table and pool table.
Is there any tool avilable to download data into flat file from pool table and cluster table ?
if table name given in the selection screen then data will be downloaded into flat file.
waiting for quick response.
Best Regards,
Bansidhar

Data cannot be retrived directly form the cluster table
as the Cluster results are stored in Cluster Key say for example PCLkey
and form that Key we need to fetch the data
these clustes are not the part of PNP or PNPCE tables
for ur info kindly check

Extracting a flat file from oracle table

I have moved the knowledge module KIM ISO SQL to FileAppend from the Metadata to my project folder.
But when I create an interface mapping the oracle table and a flat file on a different unix server, in the drop down menu , it shows only KIM SQL TO SQL and KIM Control Append.It does not show up the SQL to FileAppend knowledge module option.
What should I do to extract a flat file from oracle table?
Thanks

All IKM in the Drop Down Menu are dependent of the target technology.
A question, at this interface, is your target table a file ?

Problem converting data in XML file to internal table data

Hi all,
I have a requirement. I need to convert an XML file to internal table data and based on that data do Goods Receipt in SAP.
With the help of this blog /people/r.eijpe/blog/2005/11/10/xml-dom-processing-in-abap-part-i--convert-an-abap-table-into-xml-file-using-sap-dom-approach
I am able to convert the XML file to data in SAP. But this blog will display the output on screen as ELELEMNT = nodename VALUE= value of that node.
But I donu2019t want in that way, I want to store all the data in XML file in an internal table so that I can make use of those values and do Goods Recipt in SAP.
Can some one suggest how should I read the data in an internal table.
Here is my code..what changes should I make?

Pavel Vera,
With your example i tries doing the following .....
I tried to convert the data of XML file to internal table data. I am collecting the data in internal table to do goos recipt with that data.
Please find my XML file, ABAP pgm and XSLT pgm . I donu2019t know what I am missing I am not getting any output. I donu2019t know what is wrong please help me with this
Below is my XML file, My code and XSLT Program. In the below XML file I need to collect Vendor Number, Order Number, and Date tags which occur only once for one XML file.
I also need to collect the following tags from <Shipmentdetail>
<Shipmentdetail> has following child nodes and I need to collect them
TrackingNumber
Freight
Weight
ShipmentDate
ShipmentMethod
Need to collect to collect the following tags from <ProductInformation>
<ProductInformation> has following child nodes and I need to collect them
    LineNumber
    SKUNumber
    OrderedQuantity
    ShippedQuantity
    UOM
The <Shipmentdetail> and <ProductInformation> are child nodes of <OrderShipment>
The <Shipmentdetail> occurs only ones but the <ProductInformation> can occur once or many times and will be dynamic and differs depening on the input file.

but couldnt succeed to convert the xml file into internal table perfectly.
Can anybody help on this.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi Sarvesh,
The pdf has details of ABAP mapping. The example given almost matches the xml file you want to be converted.

FM????? Text file to Internal table in Background

Hi,
I need to execute my prog in background and as per my req i need to dwnload a file from prsentation server to internal table for processing. I'm not sure whch FM to use to dwnload from text file to internal table. I cannot use GUI_UPLOAD FM for background runs.....pls help
Thanks in advance

Chesat,
You can not work for this requirement.You will have an idea on it.
Introduction
The use of FTP from ABAP seems to have been a hot topic on the ABAP Forums of late. I thought I might sit down and document whatever I could find on this subject and share it as a weblog.
Over the years I have seen lots of different solutions for moving files on and off of a SAP system. I have seen external FTP scripts written in OS shell languages. I have seen full blown custom applications that are made to interface to the SAP system. However I think you will find that most of the technology you need to perform a simple FTP from ABAP is already contained in the standard system. All of my examples and screen shots will be coming from a 46C system.
SAP's Solution
If you have ever taken a look at the kernel directory of your SAP system, you might have noticed an interesting little executable: sapftp.exe (the name of the file on Windows SAP Kernels). It is this part of the Kernel that exposes FTP functionality to the ABAP Programming language.
So you have a suspicion that there is FTP functionality in ABAP, but youre not quite sure how to use it. Where do you start? I always turn to the Service Marketplace first. A quick search on SAPFTP reveals there is an entire component (BC-SRV-COM-FTP) on the subject. The most general note and our starting place is OSS Note 93042. This note starts off with a nice description of what SAPFTP is: A client RFC application that is accessed via RFC from ABAP. But we also find out that in addition to SAPFTP being part of the kernel, it is also part of the SAPGui. That means that we can perform FTP commands originating from our R/3 Server or from a Client Workstation.
Well if this solution is accessed via RFC, then we must have to setup some RFC destinations. In fact we have two that we need; SAPFTP for Front-end FTP and SAPFTPA for access on the application server. Luckily we don't even have to mess with setting these RFC destinations up in SM59. SAP has supplied a program, RSFTP005, to generate the destinations for us.
Now before we go off and start written code on our own to hit these FTP functions, why don't we make sure everything is setup and working. Once again SAP has helped us out by providing us with a test program, RSFTP002. (In case you are wondering the FTP functionality and many other test programs are all contained in SAP Development Class SFTP). When we run this test, we get a set input parameters for the server, username password, etc. We want to start out simple and just make sure we are getting a connection. Therefore we will just execute the pwd command (Print Working Directory).
Your answer back should look something like this:
If you are wanting to see a list of FTP commands, try using the command HELP in place of PWD:
If something did go wrong during the test, I suggest that you active the trace option in SM59 for the FTP Destination. You can then use program RSFTP001 to display the current trace file.
Programming the FTP
Not only does the RSFTP002 program give us a test environment, but it also provides us with a programming example. We can see that the FTP functionality is really provided by a set of function modules all within the SFTP Function Group. We have the basic commands such as FTP_CONNECT, FTP_COMMAND, and FTP_DISCONNECT that can be strung together to create a complete file operation action. The FTP_COMMAND Function allows you to issue arbitrary FTP commands as long as the SAPFTP function, the Host, and the Destination server all support the command. Then you have the specialized functions such as FTP_R3_TO_SERVER, FTP_R3_TO_CLIENT, and FTP_CLIENT_TO_R3. This lets you take some data in memory and transfer it someplace else. This has the advantage of not having to write the data to the file system first and not to have to issue any FTP commands. However these functions are also limited to the scope described.
If you are already familiar with FTP in general, working with these function modules should not seem to difficult. The Connect, Command, Disconnect actions would seem somewhat self explanatory. So instead of looking at the entire program in detail let's focus on two things that may be unfamiliar. First the program starts off with an ABAP Kernel System call to AB_RFC_X_SCRAMBLE_STRING. Well we don't want to pass a potentially sensitive password openly. Therefore the FTP_CONNECT function module requires that the password be encrypted before it receives it. It is this System call that performs that one-way encryption. Now I checked a 620 SP42 system and in this example, SAP has replace the AB_RFC_X_SCRAMBLE_STRING with a function call to HTTP_SCRAMBLE. Unfortunately HTTP_SCRAMBLE doesn't even exist in my 46C system. The only other thing that I wanted to point out about these function calls is the exporting parameter on the FTP_CONNECT. It passes back a parameter called handle. This handle then becomes an importing parameter to all subsequent calls: FTP_COMMAND and FTP_CLOSE. This handle is the pointer to the instance of FTP that we started with the FTP_CONNECT. This assures that we get reconnected to the same FTP session with each command we issue.
FTP Development
I thought I would share a few of the things that can be built using this FTP functionality. First off I didn't want a bunch of ABAP programs directly working with the SAP FTP Function modules. As you can see there is already a difference in the examples for encrypting the password between 46C and 620. Therefore I thought it would be best to encapsulate all the FTP function in one custom ABAP OO Class. Not only did I get the opportunity to hid the inner SAP functionality and make it easy to switch out during upgrades, but I also get consistent error handling as well. I accept the User Name, Password, Host, and RFC Destination in during the Constructor of the class. I then store these values away in Protected Attributes. Each function module is then implemented as a Instance Method. The Password encryption functionality is then all tucked away nicely in the class. Also the calling program doesn't have to worry about keeping track of the FTP handle either since it is an instance attribute as well.
Next I got really carried away. I wanted a way to record entire FTP scripts that could be filled with values at runtime and ran as a step in a background job. My company used to have many interfaces that ran frequently sending files all over the place. We needed a mechanism to monitor and support these file moves. This was really the root of this tool, but it also gives you an idea of how powerful these functions can be.
Closing
I hope that anyone interested in FTP from ABAP will find this resource useful. If anyone has any other resources that should be included here, feel free to post them.

I've been in IT for over 30 years as a mainframe contract programmer/analyst. Recently a company hired me for my legacy knowledge of there business to become a developer on SAP for these same systems.
My first task is to develop a generalized ftp application to send data to the mainframe and then on to financial institutions. I have created an ABAP/4 test program with literals for the dest/host etc. And it works fine. I need more detail/guidance in creating the Class/Method/Function you have described to make this parameter driven and callable by other programs. I know this is a lot to ask, any help in pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. When I mention class creation to the existing staff they all say "Oh, we don't use or know anything about that object oriented stuff, we just right programs."
Thanks,
Tom

"we don't use or know anything about that object oriented stuff" That's something I might have expected to hear 4 years ago. That's kind of like saying that you only want to use half of the programming lanuage (the old half at that).
However it is true that you have to learn to walk before you run. There are some fundamentals to ABAP that are usefull to have down before you start in with ABAP OO. But I wouldn't let that hold you back for long.
I'm afraid that I wouldn't be able to teach you everything you would need to know to create a function module or a class in this posting. There was a nice weblog that was just posted the other day that had the steps to create your first simple class. I suggest you start there.
As far as my FTP class goes, I don't mind sending you the code for the class. My email address is already all over SDN (and spammers' lists) so just send me the address that you want the details sent to. My email is [email protected].

...any chance you've used FTP via an HTTP proxy?
Any help using the HTTP* functions in the ZFTP function group will be greatly appreciated. Any one?
Thx
     Good suggestions - now...

I'm afraid I haven't done either. However I have used the HTTP client functionality in the WebAS 620 (if_http_client) along with an HTTP proxy. I have an example of this in another weblog.
