HOW MANY TYPES OF FLAT FILE FORMAT

hi gurus......
Basically there r 3 types of flat file format
ASC
DAT
BIN
i am correct or wrong???
what is the difference between these formats?

Hi,
you are right.
This is from the documentation available in GUI_UPLOAD func.module:
'BIN'.
The system reads a binary representation of the internal table from the
file. The data is neither converted nor interpreted in this case.
Usually, reasonable results are obtained only if the internal table
consists of a single column of type 'X'.
'DAT'
The components of the internal table are filled from the file. If the
table contains several columns, the entries in the file must be
separated by tabs. No conversion exits are performed. eg: .TXT with tab delimited
The following applies for the different data types:
I or N or P or F
The numbers must be formatted according to the decimal representation
defined in the user settings.
D
The date must be formatted according to the date format defined in the
user settings.
T
The time must be formatted as hh:mm:ss.
'ASC'.
The components of the internal table are filled from the file. Only
data types with fixed length are allowed. The data must be contained
in the file in its full length. eg: Like ·TXT or ·CSV files

  • How many types i can import as file in FLA and what's the differences ??

    Hello
    How many types i can import as file in FLA and what's the differences ??

    you wouldn't import a .as file. 
    you could open it in the flash ide (or any text editor) and edit it.
    you could  create a fla and assign a document class which flash will compile into your swf.
    you could create a library object in a fla, tick export for actionscript and assign a class that flash will compile that class into your swf.
    you could instantiate a class object (using the "new" constructor) in a flash movieclip timeline or in another class file and flash will compile that class into your swf.
    for Workers to extend a class use something like:
    package
    import Citizens;
          public class Workers  extends Citizens
           protected var baseSalary:Number = 1000;
               public function Workers()
                   super();
              public function receivePayment():Number
                    return this.baseSalary;

  • Flat file formats

    What are the flat files formats accepted for import and export in mdm?
    How MDM recognize the document type/mapping to perform of incoming file (file name, folder) ?
    What are the flat file format for export (delimited, structured, XML) ?
    Does MDM handle Header in a flat file (import and export) ?
    Does MDM handle several line definition in a flat file (import and export) ?

    Hi Joesph,
    Here are answers to your questions:
    <b>Ans 1--></b> As previously told by adhappan ,you can import data using import manager from the following formats:
    Access--Means From  microsoft access
    Excel -- From an excel file
    ODBC--this is generally used to import data from a  flat file.BY flat file i mean to say a tab comma seperated "csv " file or a ".txt "file.
    Port--to import data from a port .In mdm, port actually refers to a directrory
    XML--from an xml file
    XML Schema-- this is used when you try to import data from a file whosr structure you have predefined in console using an xsd file.
    <b>Ans 2--></b> we specify the file format while connecting to source by mentioning it in the <b>type</b> properties.and mapping is performed in the import manager in the map value tab.
    <b>Ans 3--></b>When you import or export a flat file then data in the first  line of file is considered as header.
    <b>Ans 4 --></b> As i previously told ,MDM will handle header.
    <b> Ans 5 --></b>MDM does not handle several line definition of header.
    Hope it will help you.<b> Please remark if it really helped you</b>.
    Thanks,

  • How to query the flat files?

    Hi
    How to query the flat files that are used in Etl From EBS source.

    That can be done in OBIEE. Save the flat file as .csv format. Then go to ODBC Administrator on windows machine where you BI server is running, and create an System DSN and select "Microsft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv)" as driver type.
    Next, import tables in RPD using this ODBC connection. Rest of the steps as same as building model from a table source.
    Hope this helps.

  • Standardize a flat file format w.r.t OWB

    Hi Pat,
    or anyone,
    Can u help me to standardize a flat file format with respect to OWB?
    I have 15 financial source systems. The client agreed in giving the data in csv format. Now I need to standardize the feed file so that it would be easy for me handle it in OWB. Please note depending on my standardization the client would give me the data and in turn it would be easy for me to handle it OWB External Tables. The records size for a single feed file is 1 million. So my questions are
    1.How should I standardize a date field in flat file?. Please note target date field is default date in Oracle.
    2.How should I standardize an address field? I.e. normally here I have 3 address fields. But I want the output in 1 field. What is the best possible methodology to do this? Or can I handle this issue in OWB front.
    3.How should I standardize a feed file name (generic)?
    4.How should I standardize a feed file folder (generic)? Please note the folder will reside in UNIX environment. The concept is, there would be respective folders in UNIX and the feed files would automatically fall into these respective folders in a fortnight basis. So what should I do to achieve this? I know I have to write a shell script for the automatic process. If so how will I do this and schedule it.
    5.And w.r.t above question, how will I tell OWB to go and fetch the files in those folders. I know it is done while mapping. But my question is Is that the only best way I can achieve it?
    6.If I left anything related to feed file, please tell me?
    Please note that based on my standardization, the client would extract the data and give it to me. So if I standardize the feed file which would be easy for me to handle it in OWB, then that would be a great success. And also note this is for a long run. Minimum 10 years.
    Regards,
    rem.

    Good afternoon Rem,
    It's all very theoretical indeed, talking about standards and all. I'll try to answer some of your questions according to my experiences.
    @1, Usually we load flat files into external tables using varchar2-fields only, occasionally number fields; dates however are always loaded into varchar2's and then when reading the external table into the staging area they are converted to Oracle dates using a simple TO_DATE transformation.
    @2, I don't think there's a real standard for that, it should simply meet YOUR needs, so when loading EXT into STG simply perform a transformation concatenating those 3 fields to form one.
    @5, you have to register the location where you have defined your flat files, this should be some Unix location; after that the connector between EXT and STG will know what to do when running the mappings from EXT to STG (thus: no other action is needed to 'tell OWB' where to fetch data from flat files).
    As far as I know there a no standards in naming conventions for files and folders, just go with what seems logical/practical in your situation.
    Regards, Patrick

  • How IE works for  flat file

    Hi all:
         As we all know that, when IE gets a idoc's service name from SLD, then use it with idoc's message type and Idoc type to do receiver determniation, what about flat file ? how can we know its Service name and interface name  if there is only a flat file on FTP?  how IE works for Flat file ?
         Couldn't thank you more

    Hi,
    For any idoc scenarious, you would use business systems rather than business service which is stored in SLD. So the IE would fetch it from SLD at runtime.
    For file based scenarious also, you can create business system as type third party and use the same.
    Is that answer your question?

  • New EDI Implementation - Flat File format for SPSI in eCommerce Gateway

    Hi,
    we are trying to setup EDI with a business partner, goal is to import a DELFOR message into Oracle Order Management. Plans are: translate the inbound message into the SPSI flat file format, load it through eCommerce Gateway / Release Management into Order Management.
    For this purpose I'd like to test to the import of a SPSI flat file into eCommerce Gateway / Release Management, however I have difficulties to get a proper flat file. Is there a way to generate example flat files somehow? I tried to generate my own flat file, based on the Oracle manuals, but how can I be sure that the format is correct (besides of running the import program)? Any advice on this?
    Or is there a better way, e.g. through XML files?
    Thanks in advance,
    David.

    Hi, thanks for the response.
    Yes I use that report already to get the details of the flat file. But what I am missing is for example which records are repeated, e.g. for every 4000 record, do I need one 0010 record, or can I put multiple 4000 records within one 0010 record?
    regards,
    David.

  • How does Airplay transfer audio file format to an Airport Express?

    Hi, everyone
    How does Airplay transfer audio file format to an Airport Express?
    Many from the Internet claim that iTunes encodes an AIFF file format into an Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) file format before sending signal to an Airport Express.
    Is that true?
    If so, would it still make sense for me to have AIFF files on my music server
    or should I have ALAC files instead?
    Please advise.
    Thank you.
    BR,
    George Lien

    Many from the Internet claim that iTunes encodes an AIFF file format into an Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) file format before sending signal to an Airport Express.
    Is that true?
    Yes. The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) works only with iTunes v4.6+ and is limited to music files that iTunes can read; ie, 16-bit data only. These data, though, can be in any file format that iTunes recognizes, from lossy MP3s at the low-quality end of the spectrum to Apple Lossless and lossless AIFF or WAV files at the high end. It is also important to note that the AX functions only at a 44.1kHz sample rate. When you play 32kHz or 48kHz data, iTunes sample-rate-converts the data in real time before sending it to the AX.
    iTunes uses a QuickTime CODEC to convert audio files to Apple Lossless, and then, uses AirPlay to send them to the AX. In turn, the AX uses built-in software that converts the Apple Lossless to an Encoded Digital Audio format. From there, digital audio is sent to a optical transceiver to convert the electrical signal to an optical one before sending it to the innermost part of the audio port. For analog, the AX has a built-in DAC to convert the Encoded Digital Audio to Analog which is sent to the same audio port.
    If so, would it still make sense for me to have AIFF files on my music server
    or should I have ALAC files instead?
    If you have audio files in both formats, I would elect just to keep the ALAC (.m4a) files on the music server.

  • How many types of mappings in sap xi

    hi,
    how many types of mappings in sap xi,what are there can u explain me
    bye
    phenix

    hi suresh,
    There are 4 types of mapping in XI
    1. Graphical
    2. XSLT
    3. java
    4. ABAP.
    There is no hard and fast rule for using the mapping techniques. But, I will try to put things in the right perspective for you.
    Graphical Mapping is used for simple mapping cases. When, the logic for your mapping is simple and straight forward and it does not involve any complex logic.
    Java and XSLT mapping are used when graphical mapping cannot help you.
    When the choice is between Java And XSLT, XSLT is simpler than java mapping and easier. But, it has its drawbacks. One among them being that you cannot use Java APIs and Classes in it. There might be cases in your mapping when you will have to perfrom something like a properties file look up or a DB lookup, such scenarios are not possible in XSLT and so, when you want to use some specific Java API's you will have to go for Java Mapping.
    Java Mapping uses 2 types of parsers. DOM and SAX. DOM is easier to use with lots of classes to help you create nodes and elements, but , DOM is very processor intensive.
    SAX parser is something that parses your XML one after the other, and so is not processor intensive. But, it is not exaclty easy to develop either.
    For further info on each of the mapping, refer to these links,

  • How many types of function modules are there

    hi gurus,

    what type of function module bapi  is....
    i don't know much about that...
    pls help me...
    regards,
    praveen

    hi
    hope it will help you.
    <REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
    Function Modules Used in Script:
    In the Driver Program we must use all or some of the function modules that are listed below to transfer the data.
    • Open_Form
    • Close_Form
    • Start_Form
    • Write_Form
    • Write_Form_Lines
    • End_Form
    • Control_Form
    • Read_Form_elements
    • Read_Form_Lines
    Any driver program must contain Open_Form, Close_Form and Write_Form. Other function modules are optional.
    OPEN_FORM: This function module opens layout set printing. One must call this function module before he uses any of other layout set function modules like Write_Form, Start_Form, Control_Form etc., You need specify a layout set name in the export parameters of this function module. If nothing is passed to Open_Form then one should use Start_Form function module to open layout set before starting the output. The layout set opened by Open_Form should be closed by Close_Form function module, other wise output doesn’t appear. We can use any number of Open_Form, Close_Form functions in one single program. But Close_Form must be there for every Open_Form in the program.
    Some of the important export parameters we have to pass to Open_Form function module.
    Form: Enter the Layout set name here, which then controls the output formatting. If nothing is specified then we must use Start_Form for opening layout set.
    Language: Layout sets are Language dependent. Enter the desired language here. If the entered layout set is not in that language, then the function tries to open the Form entered in its original language. The default value is SY-LANGU.
    Device: SAP Script can format a text on different device types. The device can be ‘PRINTER’ or ‘TELEX’, ‘TELEFAX’, ’ABAP’ and ‘SCREEN’.
    Dialog: Use parameter DIALOG to determine whether to display a dialog box before printing, in which the user can set several spool parameters for print formatting. Possible values: SPACE displays no print parameter screen. 'X' display print parameter screen. Default value: 'X'
    Options: Use parameter OPTIONS to set several options for print formatting. The parameter has the structure ITCPO. The user can change some of the defined settings on the print control screen. The default value for Options is ‘ ‘. We will discuss about ITCPO structure in detail later.
    Other Export, Import and Exceptions are self-explanatory.
    Close_Form: The function module closes the layout set opened using OPEN_FORM. The system executes any terminating processing steps for the last opened layout set. No Export parameters for this Function Module.
    Start_Form: In-between the function modules OPEN_FORM and CLOSE_FORM, we can use different layout sets. This allows us to combine several different layout sets into one print output. However, we can combine only those layout sets that have the same page format. To switch layout sets, use the function module START_FORM. If another layout set is still open, we must close it first using END_FORM. If we specify no layout set name when calling START_FORM, the system restarts the last open layout set. If after OPEN_FORM no layout set was activated yet, the system leaves the function module with the exception UNUSED. Some of the important export parameters for this function module are
    Form: The parameter contains the name of the layout set you want to use for printing. If you specify no layout set here, the system restarts the last active layout set.
    Language: Layout sets are language-dependent. Enter the desired language here. If the layout set does not exist in this language, the system tries to call the layout set in its original language. If the parameter LANGUAGE is empty, the system uses the language of the last active layout set.
    Startpage: Usually, SAP script starts with the page specified as start page in the layout set definition. If we want to start output with another layout set page, enter the name of the desired layout set page here. If the desired page is not defined, the system uses the start page defined in the layout set.
    Program: To replace program symbols, SAP script must know which active program contains the work areas for the values to be passed. If we omit the parameter, the system searches for the field values in the program that was specified in the parameter OPTIONS (field TDPROGRAM) of OPEN_FORM. If we enter a program name, the system replaces the program symbols with the values from this program up to the next END_FORM.
    Exceptions and other Export, Import parameters are self-explanatory.
    Write_Form: The system outputs the layout set element specified in parameter ELEMENT into the currently opened layout set. In the parameter WINDOW we can specify the name of a window for the output. Remember that the layout set element must be defined in this window. The parameter FUNCTION specifies how to merge the text lines to be output with any existing contents in the window. In this case, there are differences between the different window types or areas. Some of the important export parameters used in Write_Form.
    Element: Specify the name of the text element you want to output into the layout set window specified in the parameter WINDOW. The element must be defined in that layout set window. If you specify no element, the system uses the default element, if one is defined in the layout set.
    Window: Specify the name of the window into which you want to output the layout set element specified in the parameter ELEMENT. Default value for Window is ‘MAIN’.
    Function: The parameter determines how to output the text element into the respective window. The output type depends on the window type and area:
    Window Type: MAIN Area: BODY
    SET/APPEND: Appends to previous output.
    Window Type: Main Area: Top/Bottom and
    Window Type: Other than Main and all areas
    SET : Delete the old element contents and prints the new elements
    APPEND: Appends the new content to existing elements.
    Type: The system interprets this parameter only for output to the main window. The parameter determines the area of the main window into which we want to output the element. Possible values: 'TOP' header area
    'BODY' main area
    'BOTTOM' footer area
    Default value: 'BODY'
    Write_Form_Lines: This function module outputs the text lines in table LINES into the specified layout set window. The text lines must have the SAP script ITF format. From the data in the text header, the system uses only the field TDSTYLE to apply the formatting attributes defined in the specified style for this text. If the field is empty, the system uses the identically named formatting attributes (character and paragraph formats) of the layout set.
    Use parameter WINDOW to specify into which of the windows defined in the layout set we want to output the text. We can specify any window used in the layout set. The parameter FUNCTION determines how to merge the text lines to be output with any existing contents in the window. There are differences between the different window types or areas.
    Header: This parameter contains the header of the text module we want to output in the current layout set. For the formatting process, the system uses only the entries in the header fields TDSTYLE and TDFORM. Structure: THEAD
    WINDOW: Enter the name of the window into which we want to output the layout set element specified in parameter ELEMENT. Default value: 'MAIN'
    FUNCTION: This parameter determines how to output the text element into the respective window. The output type depends on the window type and area: Window type MAIN, area BODY: 'SET' append to previous output 'APPEND' same as SET. DELETE' no effect. Window type MAIN, areas TOP and BOTTOM; all other windows: 'SET' delete old window or area contents and output the element 'APPEND' append the element to the existing elements 'DELETE' no effect Default value: 'SET'
    TYPE: The system interprets this parameter only for output to the main window. The parameter determines the area of the main window into which you want to output the element. Possible values: 'TOP' header area 'BODY' main area 'BOTTOM' footer area Default value: 'BODY'
    END_FORM: END_FORM ends the currently open layout set and executes the required termination processing. After calling this function module, no more layout set is active. For further output, we must start a new layout set using START_FORM. No Export parameters.
    CONTROL_FORM: Use this function module to pass SAP Script Control Commands to the layout set. The Control command is passed through the export parameter ‘COMMAND’ in quotes.
    READ_FORM_ELEMENTS: This function module fills a table with all text elements that appear in one layout set. If we specify no layout set name, the system includes all elements of the currently open layout set. If we specify a layout set, the system uses the information about the active version of the layout set, retrieved from the database. Here we have two export parameters, Form and Language and a table parameter Elements.
    READ_FORM_LINES: Use this function module to transfer the lines of a layout set element into an internal table. If we specify no layout set name, the system transfers the text lines of the currently open layout set. If we specify a layout set, the system uses the text lines of the active version of the layout set from the database. The Export parameters are Form, Language, Window and Element. If we pass these 4 parameters the function module returns a table with the lines from layout set.
    Function modules are one element. There are no types. However sometimes an RFC enabled function module is referred to as RFC Function module, but really it is just a function module. Also BAPIs are function modules, but are usually referred to as just BAPI as opposed to BAPI Function module.
    There is no different function module types , but calling the function module will be different.
    check this function calls syntax
    1. Calls a function module:
    CALL FUNCTION func.
    2. Call a function module in a different mode (asynchronous Remote Function Call):
    CALL FUNCTION func STARTING NEW TASK taskname.
    3. Call a function module in the update task:
    CALL FUNCTION func IN UPDATE TASK.
    4. Call a function module in a remote system (Remote Function Call, RFC ):
    CALL FUNCTION func DESTINATION dest.
    5. Asynchronous call to a function module with transactional processing (transactional Remote Function Call):
    CALL FUNCTION func IN BACKGROUND TASK.
    qRFC with output queue
    6. Call a function module that can be activated in the context of enhancements:

    My problem: How do I view "TOD. file format" on my MacPro Book?
    I am a marine scientist, working on very small marine animals, my research methods is to record these animals swimming and then track their movement with image tracking software.
    Equipment:
    + 3 x JVC GZ-HD7 Cameras which records in true 1920x1080i video, storing files in .TOD file format.
    + MacBook Pro + huge external hard-drive to handle these files.
    + Final Cut Express
    The Hard-drive of the cameras is full and I need to download the footage, so I can record more experiments.
    I’ve tried to backing up footage on the JVC DVD Burner, CU-VC40.
    But when I try to view this on the Mac, there is the same problem with the .TOD file format.
    I’ve tried installing the QuickTime component for Everio = no difference.
    Any help would be great!!!!
    I understand biology and computers & tech is starting to give me a headache.
    Thanks!!

    Hello everybody,
    first of all I wanna thank the founders for that great forum. Found interesting information here.
    Hopefully I'll help with some data and have some questions at the same time.
    After researching several communities I use MPEG SC 1.9 to convert the TOD files. There was a little disturbance, either to convert to HDV or AIC. Hopefully my little test will display the difference:
    TOD file 39.7 MB in 1920x1080
    DV file 46.3 MB in roughly 1.5 min
    adjustments within MSC...Format: DV Stream(PAL, Interlaced,16:9, Audio rate 48000khz), scale Interlaced, color re-interlace, upper pic first
    -> FCP no render for Video necessary
    -> hopefully I got all menue options halfway right. Apparently I'm not US and use a german version
    MOV file 143.6 MB with Apple Intermediate Codec in exactly 1 min
    adjustments within MSC...Format: Quicktime Export, Compression AIC, Audio uncompressed, 1920x1080, scale Interlaced, color re-interlace, upper pic first
    -> FCP rencer for Video necessary
    -> hopefully that's the codec everybody means, when talking AIC !?
    General FCP question here:
    I've set it to HDV 1080i 50 and then imported the files to the project. Apparently the movie in the canvas (100% size) should be huge, a lot of scrolling bars. But it isn't. It's a little bit bigger than the canvas or viewer window and the picture isn't that clear.
    Same thing with the TOD file in Mpeg SC. It's not crystal clear, far away from expectations. Cars in city limits seem to have stripes while in motion. The frame size doesn't fit. It should be bigger than my smaller display can display.
    Here's the info out of Mpeg SC:
    Stream: MOV001.TOD
    Pfad: ~/Movies/MOV001.TOD
    Typ: MPEG transport stream
    Dauer: 0:00:13
    Datenmenge: 39.73 MB
    Bit Rate: 24.66 Mbps
    Video Spuren:
    4113 MPEG-2, 1920 × 1080, 16:9, 29.97 fps, 28.00 Mbps, oberes Halbbild zuerst
    Audio Spuren:
    4129 MP2 stereo, 48 kHz, 384 kbps
    Stream Dateien:
    MOV001.TOD (39.73 MB)
    Why is the 1920x1080 not the size it should be ? Honestly, if that s the quality from a daylight shot I will sell that camcorder right away and buy a PAL system mini DV for half the price. It's bad !
    I've chosen Apple FCP unkompr. 8-Bit 4:2:2 in MSC.
    At least I got a 1920x1080 picture/movie. But what does 8Bit 4:2:2 mean ?
    Is that what all of you do ? Guess not.
    22 sec of movie 78.7 MB big turn out to 2.55 GB !!!
    Still the quality isn't that great. Would someone please help me with the parameters in MSC to convert ? That would be awesome.
    Lowlight quality of the camcorder is really bad. One bulp and it's spooky dark. But that's not that bad, if at least perfect lid scenes would be great.
    I still wait for those super color pics
