FTP_R3_TO_CLIENT

Hello
I use the FM FTP_R3_TO_CLIENT to send data to a server.
It works fine - except:
in the output-file is after each line a emtpy line.
What I can do to avoid this?
Thanks for any help
Daniel

Hi Jack
Thanks for your answer.
Yes, the dataline is defined as TEXT. (C LENGTH 3000)
What do you mean with "remove the carriage return from input file"'
I fill the internal table LT_TEXT with APPEND
and then I call the FM.
Where this carriage return comes from?
Thanks for you help
Daniel

How to use FM 'FTP_R3_TO_CLIENT'?

hi everybody.
    I wanna transfer document of R3 to FTP Server via FM 'FTP_R3_TO_CLIENT' and the document is '.txt' which include many lines.But done with transfer ,i open the docu. in FTP Server and find only one line in it and it is show of focus much lines on one line.I expect to show as originally form.
pls do let me know if you have solution to it.
Thanks.

Hi,

Data to be fetched from legacy system to SAP and doc needs to bee posted

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement where my client is using some application in Legacy system(Fuel Software) which receives fuel(Petrol, Deasel, CNG) in system and issue the same to company owned vehicles and wants that sap should be integrated and document also needs to be posted in sap for all the receivings and isssuences against their vehicles.
Process Designed is:
1. Required Data file will be picked from legacy system with some date stamp and will be placed in sap directory.
2. There will be batch job which will check for new file based on date stamp.
3. Will pick record n will pass to Goods_mvt_create bapi and then will post the document.
4. We have created Vehicles as Internal orders in sap and whenever any issue will be there internal order no will be captured.
5. By this way we are receiving and issuing in sap.
Now my problem is i am stuck in designing step 1 and rest 2,3,4,5 steps have already been designed and working fine. Need your help in step 1. Else you may suggest some better way-out but again want to mention rest steps are already mapped
Thanks in advance..

Hi Ashutosh,
You can use functions:
FTP_CLIENT_TO_R3
FTP_COMMAND
FTP_COMMAND_LIST
FTP_CONNECT
FTP_COPY
FTP_DISCONNECT
FTP_R3_TO_CLIENT
FTP_R3_TO_SERVER
FTP_SERVER_TO_R3
FTP_START_REG_SERVER
FTP_START_SAPFTP
FTP_STOP_REG_SERVER
FTP_VERSION
which allow you to connect from SAP ERP to any FTP server (if the legacy has it). You can validate the sample program RSFTP007.

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,

"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].

I am using this V_cr when concatenating those fields then also i am getting problem.
I need to place all records items wise.
But i am getting now as all items are continuing with ','
Pls if any one knows solution how to get records item wise without continuation all records with ','.
Pls help me

Try using CR_LF instead of NEWLINE. Also I think that "end of line" character may also be affected by the FTP settings (not related to SAP). I vaguely remember having somewhat similar issue with FTP and mainframe. The file looked fine when downloaded to PC but mainframe "saw" only one long line.
Also take a look at the parameters in the FMs that you've mentioned, maybe there is something about the file type or end-of-line.

FTP_COMMAND in order to get files list at FTP address

Hi all.
I want to get a list of files exist at a specific FTP address.
For that I'm using FTP_CONNECT (OK) and after I want to execute FTP_COMMAND with parameter command = 'ls' in order to recievce the files list in output table data[].
I keep on getting an exception 3 (data_error).
Anyone can help please ?
Thanks,
Rebeka

Hello,
I know by experience the ABAP programmers learn most based on examples.
In every SAP system you have the following FTP example programs, analyze the source code and check how function modules like FTP_CONNECT and FTP_COMMAND work :
RSFTP002                         Execute FTP Command
RSFTP003                         FTP put / get Test
RSFTP004                         FTP Copy
RSFTP007                         Test FB:FTP_SERVER_TO_R3 / FTP_R3_TO_SERVER
RSFTP008                         Test FB:FTP_CLIENT_TO_R3 / FTP_R3_TO_CLIENT
RSFTP009                         Test FTP put with Verify
RSFTP011                         FTP Copy
Success.

it seem that the error stop on the first exception that will return the message "Unable to connect FTP Server"
I don't know why ,
This SAP is 4.6C

FTP server not connected from SAP

Hi Expert,
I want to access FTP server thru SAP.But when I try to check RFC Destination SAPFTP connection test. It's gives error 'Error Details timeout during allocate / CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPCMRCV' : cmRc=20 thRc=456 Timeout dur'
What will be the reason.what setting I have missed to set.
Can anybody give me some tips of setting for connection of SAP to FTP server.
To complete these requirement what will be the prerequisite and what will be the steps to complete these task.
Answer should be rewarded.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
SAPFTP runs on the client (local PC), and SAPFTPA runs on the application server.
If you are connecting from your SAP application server to another remote host, then you use SAPFTPA.
If you are connecting from your PC to the remote host, use SAPFTP.
Please confirm about it.
These are standared FTP programs which allows you to FTP from within SAP.
The SAPFTP.EXE should be pre-installed in the users local harddisk before you can used this functions.
Do a check first by executing program RSFTP005. It will tell you whether it can detect the SAPFTP.EXE program.
RSFTP001 - SAPFTP version
RSFTP002 - Execute FTP Command
RSFTP003 - Test
RSFTP004 - FTP copy
RSFTP005 - SAPFTP check
RSFTP006 - FTP command list
RSFTP007 - Test FB:FTP_SERVER_TO_R3 / FTP_R3_TO_SERVER
RSFTP008 - Test FB:FTP_CLIENT_TO_R3 / FTP_R3_TO_CLIENT
Thanks

FTP transfer gives incorrect characters after unicode upgrade

Hello all,
We write a file on a FTP drive containing data from an internal table. We use FM FTP_R3_TO_CLIENT to write this file. The internal table contains characters like 'ü'. Before our unicode upgrade this process worked fine. After our unicode upgrade the FTP file contains instead of the 'ü' characters like 'Ã¼'.
The internal table passed to the FM is still ok in the unicode system, only the result seems not. We did set the unicode flag on the SAPFTP RFC destination but this made no difference.
Any idea?
Thanks and best regards,
Boris

Outbound Adapter without PI?

Hello Experts,
is there an overview which different possibilities exist for sending files from a SAP System (e.g. APO) to a target system or a target directory?
I am searching for possibilities which don't use the PI file adapter.
many thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,
If it is a SAP system and you do not want to use PI for the data exchange,
you can consider ABAP interface programs which use the
open dataset/transfer dataset/ close dataset statements to transfer the data.
There are some function modules like FTP_R3_TO_CLIENT
FTP_R3_TO_SERVER
to directly send data to FTP
Alternatively you can configure file ports for idocs which would dump the idoc data in xml format in the specified file location.

Ravi

HOW TO PUT INTO FTP SERVER?

Hello:
i am trying to put a file into a FTP server, my program consist in the following topics:
select the information.
save the information that was selected (into internal table).
send that information to PC using the Gui_download. (after of that the file is now in the pc).
now i connect to ftp server using the FTP_CONNECT.
now i use the FTP_COMMAND to move into the specific folder(in this function i send the CD command and the folder name for example: cd /CSTDW/ ).
so , in that folder i need to put a file that is in my pc now (this file was created by GUI_DONWLOAD).
I am using the FTP_COMMAND (i send a parameter with the path and the names of my file, por example: put c:\namefile.txt ) but the function send me a tables result show the folloing info:
put c:\costabc_HD071008.TXT "this is the names of my file
open c:\costabc_HD071008.TXT errno 22: Invalid argument " this is the message.
but i make a manual connection and i used the next statement
put c:\costabc_HD071008.TXT and the file was put into the folder located, i am sure that i pass througth the FTP server becasuse finaly i finished using a FTP_COMMAND sending the parameter ls command and i can see all the files that the folder has, but my file was not inserted.
does anybody knows why manually the file was inserted and why not using the program?
