Where does GUI_UPLOAD function store the files?

Where does GUI_UPLOAD function store the files?

Hi Audrey
Here is an example of accessing files from application server:
open dataset w_file for input in text mode.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
    message e895 with 'Unable to locate file'.
else.
    do.
      read dataset w_file into it_data.
      if sy-subrc eq 4.            " End of file reached
        clear it_data.
        exit.
      else.
        append it_data.
        clear it_data.
      endif.
    enddo.
    close dataset w_file.
In the above example, w_file is declared as string containing c:\usr\sap\test.txt
And this file should be there on this path on application server.
And, yes, you need to declare it_data as an internal table containing fields corresponding to file from which you are reading data.

Problem in GUI_UPLOAD function module

Hi Folks,
I am in the BI system where I have limited scope of upload function module, So I used GUI_UPLOAD as a upload function module.
I am uploading CSV file and which have amount field (with comma ',' ) as one of the column , So it is truncating the other columns while retrieving data into internal table and giving wrong data in columns.
Any other Function module, or tricks to upload file which have ',' in one of the column.
Thanks
PP

Hi,
Well in this case you will have to change the file format i.e. Instead of CSV make it tab delimited etc.
Else change the amount value by replacing comma(which woud be a tedious task).
There is no other alternative.
Best regards,
Prashant

GUI_UPLOAD Function Module in 4.6C does not split into lines

Dear All,
I'm about to upload text file into SAP using the FM 'GUI_UPLOAD'.
Previously I've developed a test program to upload the same file in SAP v4.7
and it returns correctly into several lines as expected.
Snippet:
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      filename                      = l_filename
      filetype                        = 'ASC'
      has_field_separator       = ' '
      header_length               = 0
      read_by_line                  = 'X'
    TABLES
      data_tab                      = gt_tabfile
As we can see, the 'read_by_line' parameter is already 'X'. gt_tabfile only consist of 1 string column.
But as I run the same code using the same parameter and file in SAP v4.6C
it returned only 1 line of very long string instead of the correct lines resulted in 4.7.
Is there anything to do with codepage (4.6 is English 1100, I forgot the codepage in 4.7 but i believe it's the same due to language selection is EN). Or anything to do with OSS Note?
Kindly help me to resolve the issue.
Appreciate it very much

Thank you for trying to help.
Please be noted I've done all the possible value on these parameter
-   filetype 'ASC' OR 'BIN'
- has_field_separator ' ' or 'X'
- header_length 0 or 1 which is dont make sense since my file dont have header so must be 0
- read_by_line ' ' of 'X' doesnt work my expectation.
Any other good questions please? How 4.6C and 4.7 above make a different result?

Diff between GUI_UPLOAD and CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES= GUI_UPLOAD

i want to upload some records from the flat file to internal table. when i use GUI_UPLOAD function module in tables parameter i have given the work area. but when i use CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES-=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG and then CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_UPLOAD i have given the internal table body in the changing parameters. my doubt is we have used GUI_UPLOAD in both occassions but when we use GUI_UPLOAD alone we are giving the internal table workarea but when we use it along with class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES we are giving the internal table body. whats is the reason or logic behind this?.

Hi guys -- the answers you've given are correct but an example IMO is 100% better
go_guiobj type ref to cl_gui_frontend_services., "For Windows file dialog

    create object go_guiobj.
endif.
call method go_guiobj->gui_download
    exporting
      filename              = e_file
      filetype              = 'ASC'
      write_field_separator = 'X'
    changing

Field-Symbols and Gui_upload

Hi all!
I'm making a program in which a user can choose between 5 tables to update it by uploading a text file.
The thing is that I don't want to make 5 different functions in which the only difference is the name of the table where de gui_upload function puts the data.
That's why I send to the function the name of the table and assign it to a field symbol.
The problem is that I don't know what to put in the parameter 'DATA_TAB' on the gui_upload function.
Thanks!
Best regards!
Alejandro.

Hi,
I have a file to upload to an internal table and i use GUI_UPLOAD function, i already try with filetype ASC and DAT but the words with CHAR 'Ç' as convert in 'A#' increase one CHAR in line on my internal table.
Anyone could help me.
Thanks and Regards,
Eduardo Paiva

Hi Eduardo,
I don't know if you wrote wrong only here or in your abap code too, but the code page is 1160, not 1106.
You can see this number with the FM NLS_GET_FRONTEND_CP

        v_codepage    TYPE abap_encod.

Regarding Function modules and methods

Hi,
which of these calls to GUI_UPLOAD is more efficient?
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
or
CALL FUNCTION GUI_UPLOAD

both does the same job. if you look at the code inside the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
it would be calling GUI_UPLOAD function.
in terms of performance efficiency, there will be a very negligible differece and call function will be slightly better in my opinion.
