Generate Unicode text file

Hi All,
I am trying to create a unicode text file using OPEN DATASET which is to be fed to MDM for further process. I tried using the follow statement but no use,
OPEN DATASET p_afile FOR OUTPUT IN LEGACY TEXT MODE
CODE PAGE '1100' IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS.
After generating a file I try to save it manually using excel and it gets converted without any issues. But the requirement is to generate a unicode txt file as like below in excel,
Any leads?

I even tried the usual way as below but not able to get the file,
OPEN DATASET p_afile FOR APPENDING IN TEXT MODE
ENCODING UTF-8.

Hi,
As far as i understand from your requirements, it like you need all the data item leve into a text file.
You can fetch all the relevant data from variuos tables and then use GUI_Download into a text file.

Generate a text file using Portal

Hello Everyone,
I need to generate a flat text file from a portal screen. I have no idea as
to what is the best way to do this. I have a screen on which i will have a
push button which when pressed needs to run a procedure which generates a
text file.
I don't know whether this is possible also or not.
Any help in the matter would be great.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can create a procedure like this.
create or replace procedure op1
as
begin
htp.init;
owa_util.mime_header('plain/text', false);
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='||'output.txt');
owa_util.http_header_close;
htp.p('My output is text...');
exception
when others then
null;
end;
This will direct the ouput to a file called output.txt.
Thanks,

How to go to the next Page while generating a text file ??

All,
I am generating a text File dynamically based on the information from the Database. I need to give some Page breaks after every 80 lines. Does any one has any clue how can I do that.
I am able to generate the file though.
Also I need to set the Font to Courier.
Please let me know if anyone has done anything like this.
I am using "BufferedWriter" for generating the text file.
Thanx

Basically - I have to repeat the header if the records goes to the next Page. My records can increase decrease dynamically as the data is coming from the Database.
I do not know how to find out whether it has reached the next page or not ??
If you know by any chance how can I repeat the header once it goes to the next Page that would be a great help.
Thanx

BDC : Function Module to Upload Unicode text file

Hi Friends,
Can anyone tell me how to upload data to internal table by taking it from unicode text file ?
at present i'm using FM - GUI_UPLOAD which do not support Unicode text file.
Sonal

Hi,
U Have to use CodePage Parameter to upload the data.
Check the Description
Character Representation for Output
Description
Use parameter CODEPAGE to specify the desired source codepage. If this parameter is not set, the codepage of the SAP GUI is used as the source codepage.
Value range
4-digit number of the SAP codepage. The function module SCP_CODEPAGE_BY_EXTERNAL_NAME provides the SAP codepage number for an external character set name, for example, "iso-8859-1". The function module NLS_GET_FRONTEND_CP provides the respective non-Unicode frontend codepage for a language.
The desired codepage can be determined interactively, if the parameter with_encoding of method file_open_dialog is set by cl_gui_frontend_services.
If the specified codepage is not suited for the Byte Order Mark of the file, an exception is triggered.
SPACE: Codepage of the frontend operating system
Default
SPACE

Please, I need help - How can I generate a text file with Word format?

Hello friends at www.oracle.com ,
is it possible for me to create a text file - that is, with TEXT_IO.fopen, and so on - that's already formatted as a Word document?
We have a Forms program here, where it's needed to generate a text file with .RTF format, 8 centimeters margin, Times New Roman font, with size 7.
Best regards,
Franklin Goncalves Jr.

Hello Shay,
sincere thanks for your answer. And, to answer your last question, I'm using client-server model.
Since I couldn't create this .RTF file by using built-ins like TEXT_IO, I tried to generate an .RTF file using Reports, passing the parameters DESTYPE, DESNAME and DESFORMAT, as shown below.
add_parameter (pl_id, 'DESTYPE', text_parameter, 'FILE');
add_parameter (pl_id, 'DESNAME', text_parameter, 'c:\franklin.rtf');
add_parameter (pl_id, 'DESFORMAT', text_parameter, 'RTF');
However, the just generated .RTF file is uncomprehensible. After opening the file at Microsoft Word, I can see the following message at the top of file:
This file was created by Oracle Reports. Please view this document in Page Layout mode.
... and informations doesn't appear as desired.
If I can't generate such text format by using TEXT_IO, and if generating an .RTF file through Reports shows me an incomprehensible result, how can I export the selected result to an .RTF file?
When Reports is opened, choosing Generate to file -> RTF doesn't export anything.
Thanks, and best regards,
Franklin Goncalves Jr.

Reading unicode text file

I could not find a VI to read unicode text files - this one reads unicode on the assumption that it contains plain text. Might help someone struggling with unicode text files produced by some applications. Enhancements welcome.

How to read a Unicode text file in a non-unicode SAP system

I'm currently has a text file which is saved as UTF-8 format. And inside this file has Thai characters.
However, my SAP system is a non-unicode system.
When I use the code
open dataset DSN for output in TEXT MODE encoding UTF-8
the thai characters become some funny characters.
How can I solve this in the ABAP program without changing the system from non-unicode to unicode system?

Hi Eswar,
   How can I check whether the code page for THAI already installed or not in SAP system?
   Here is the code I use to test to read a file that saved as UTF-8.
DATA: l_filepath         TYPE string.
DATA : BEGIN OF l_filepath_str OCCURS 0,
             comm(1000) TYPE c,
           END OF l_filepath_str.
DATA: l_datasetsucc LIKE rlgrap-filename.
l_filepath = '/BAAC/Files/APP_.txt'.
OPEN DATASET l_filepath FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
DO.
    CLEAR l_filepath_str.
    READ DATASET l_filepath INTO l_filepath_str.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      APPEND l_filepath_str.
    ELSE.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.
ELSE.
WRITE:/ 'Error reading from file:', sy-subrc.
ENDIF.
CLOSE DATASET l_filepath.
LOOP AT l_filepath_str.
WRITE: / l_filepath_str-comm.
ENDLOOP.
    It returns me a runtime error. Any idea?

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the update. I have met Dr. Ulrich on several occasions ? he is a great guy!
Dr. Hammer and I also have the same advisor from graduate school. He did his Masters with my PhD advisor at Poly-Tech. We have also met many times in the past. I think you will be in good hands down there.
It seems clear that you need to start learning JME and can perhaps forget about Windows Mobile. JME represents a smaller footprint for Java that contains support for various APIs for mobile functionality. I do not own any JME books, but a search on Amazon.com turned up what looks like several good ones.
Best wishes

Create Text Files as Unicode in SAP 4.5

Hi Experts
Is there any way to generate generate/save text files in SAP 4.5?
Thanks

Hi There.
I would like to suggest,
In ECC 4.5, The function modules -
>
WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD are not obsolete as like in ECC 4.7 onwards, but you can use them. CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES is used in the recent versions.
But, In case for Unicode conversions, It is not possible in ECC 4.5.
As an alternative,
I suggest, you use the transfer from Internal table to Application Server using OPEN DATASET and CLOSE DATASET as described by Chandralekha.
I suggest, Use transaction code: CG3Y for transfer of file from application to presentation server.
For retrieving back from presentation server to Application server you can use------>
Transaction code -
> CG3Z.
Direct Text conversions are possible, just select from the list.
Hope that's usefull.
Good Luck & Regards.
