How to export data from a string to a CSV file

Hello,
i do have a string in a Livecycle Designer script object with a couple of rows with different entries divided by a semicolon:
COLUMN1;COLUMN2;COLUMN3
Entry1;Entry2;Entry3
Entry4;Entry5;Entry6
The goal is now to export this string from Livecycle Designer into a CSV file by clicking a button. Is there any solution suggested?
Thank you very much.

Hi,
You can try creating a dataObject and then exporting it, you might get some warning messages popup but try this;
var csvData = "COLUMN1;COLUMN2;COLUMN3\r\n";
csvData += "Entry1;Entry2;Entry3\r\n";
csvData += "Entry4;Entry5;Entry6\r\n";
var pdf = event.target;
pdf.createDataObject("Data.csv", csvData);
pdf.exportDataObject({cName: "Data.csv"});
If you replace the last line with
pdf.exportDataObject({cName: "Data.csv", nLaunch: 2});
It will open in whatever .csv is registered for (Excel on my system)

Exporting data from database tables to a XML file

Hi,
We want to export data from Oracle database tables to an XML

about it ?
Can we extract data only from an Oracle8 database, or can we
extract data from Oracle7.3 databases too ?
Any help in this regard would be appreciated.

Start by downloading the XML SQL Utility and make sure you have
the approriate JDBC 1.1 drivers installed for your database.
There are samples which will get you going included in the

External table: How to load data from a fixed format UTF8 external file

Hi Experts,
I am trying to read data from a fixed format UTF8 external file in to a external table. The file has non-ascii characters, and the presence of the non-ascii characters causes the data to be positioned incorrectly in the external table.
The following is the content's of the file:
20100423094529000000I1 ABÄCDE 1 000004
20100423094529000000I2 OMS Crew 2 2 000004
20100423094529000000I3 OMS Crew 3 3 000004
20100423094529000000I4 OMS Crew 4 4 000004

20100423094529000000I8 Mobile Crew 8 8 000004
The structure of the data is as follows:
Name Type Start End Length
UPDATE_DTTM CHAR 1 20 20
CHANGE_TYPE_CD CHAR 21 21 1
CREW_CD CHAR 22 37 16
CREW_DESCR CHAR 38 97 60
CREW_ID CHAR 98 113 16
UDF1_CD CHAR 114 143 30
UDF1_DESCR CHAR 144 203 60
UDF2_CD CHAR 204 233 30
DATA_SOURCE_IND CHAR 294 299 6
UDF2_DESCR CHAR 234 293 60
I create the external table as follows:
CREATE TABLE "D_CREW_EXT"
"UPDATE_DTTM" CHAR(20 BYTE),
"CHANGE_TYPE_CD" CHAR(1 BYTE),
"CREW_CD" CHAR(16 BYTE),
"CREW_DESCR" CHAR(60 BYTE),
"CREW_ID" CHAR(16 BYTE),
"UDF1_CD" CHAR(30 BYTE),
"UDF1_DESCR" CHAR(60 BYTE),
"UDF2_CD" CHAR(30 BYTE),
"DATA_SOURCE_IND" CHAR(6 BYTE),
"UDF2_DESCR" CHAR(60 BYTE)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
TYPE ORACLE_LOADER DEFAULT DIRECTORY "TMP"
ACCESS PARAMETERS ( RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
CHARACTERSET UTF8
STRING SIZES ARE IN BYTES
NOBADFILE NODISCARDFILE NOLOGFILE FIELDS NOTRIM
( "UPDATE_DTTM" POSITION (1:20) CHAR(20),
"CHANGE_TYPE_CD" POSITION (21:21) CHAR(1),
"CREW_CD" POSITION (22:37) CHAR(16),
"CREW_DESCR" POSITION (38:97) CHAR(60),
"CREW_ID" POSITION (98:113) CHAR(16),
"UDF1_CD" POSITION (114:143) CHAR(30),
"UDF1_DESCR" POSITION (144:203) CHAR(60),
"UDF2_CD" POSITION (204:233) CHAR(30),
"DATA_SOURCE_IND" POSITION (294:299) CHAR(6),
"UDF2_DESCR" POSITION (234:293) CHAR(60) )
) LOCATION ( 'D_CREW_EXT.DAT' )
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
Check the result in database:
select * from D_CREW_EXT;
I found the first row is incorrect. For each non-ascii character,the fields to the right of the non-ascii character are off by 1 character,meaning that the data is moved 1 character to the right.
Then I tried to use the option STRING SIZES ARE IN CHARACTERS instead of STRING SIZES ARE IN BYTES, it doesn't work either.
The database version is 11.1.0.6.
Edited by: yuan on May 21, 2010 2:43 AM

Hi,
I changed the BYTE in the create table part to CHAR, it still doesn't work. The result is the same. I think the problem is in ACCESS PARAMETERS.
Any other suggestion?

How to export data from webdynpro to Excel and start a Excel macro

Hello All
I want to export data displayed in the Web dynpro ALV into Excel. I have tried the ALV export function but my problem with it is when it does export to excel the data loses formatting and I have long text in columns which display with wrapping in ALV but when exported to excel it loses formatting.
So I want to define a custom button and when user presses on this button the excel export is called with a macro. Can you kindly share ideas how I can do this from a webdynpro.
Thanks
Karen

Hi friends!
I have followed the following:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=(J2EE3417300)ID1487994050DB10407586481486749551End?blog=/pub/wlg/5522
...in order to create standard ALV with Export to Excel.
However what is exported into excel is awful. It does not contain my data in nice columns... Instead it shows a lot of meta-data.
Please let me know what to do to kick the standard Export button in the correct direction.. that is...to have my nice table in same way in Excel, because that is my intention with "Export to excel"
