How to export data in fixed lengh format

I want to take data in 4 tables, and export the data to a fixed lenght flat file format. Then have that file sent to an email address. How can I do this?

Suzie,
I never used Toad ;-) But I always use the Oracle SQL Developer instead (which is for free by the way).
SQL Developer gets installed with every 11g database installation but you could install it also to your 9.2 or 10.x environment - just grab it from otn.oracle:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/sql/index.html
(will take two minutes to install). Then you'd just define your connection to your target database, go into REPORTS (left side) and define a USER DEFINED REPORT. That's pretty easy because for instance you'd just say 'select * from scott.emp;' - once the report gets executed just move your mouse over one of the rows, hit the right mouse buttom and choose the last entry: EXPORT DATA - you'll have the options of TEXT, CSV, SQL LOADER FORMAT, INSERT, XML, HTML and XLS ;-)
Another possibility within SQL*Plus would be using the column format options (the font of this webpage scrambles the output columns but in SQL*Plus you'll get everything formated in a fixed length format:
column "info" format A11
column "P1" format 99999
column "P2" format 99999
column "P3" format 99999
SELECT Info " ", P1, P2, P3
FROM tr_PortfolioSummary
ORDER BY SortOrder
P1 P2 P3
Nb Bonds 10 40 40
Nb Warrants 20 50 50
Nb Shares 30 60 60
Kind regards
Mike

How to export data from MS Project 2010 to MS Excel 2010 with formatting

I have created a Project 2010 export map to Excel 2010. It works fine. I have two questions that I cannot determine an answer. I'm not sure if its a project or excel setting. I have spend hours trying to make it
work with little success.
1. When the task name field is exported to excel it losses summary/task indent. Is there a way to set it up so it works via the export map?
2. The Start & Finish fields in project is setup as 5/26/11 when they exports to excel it shows up as 5/26/11 8:00 AM. Is there a way to set it up either in project export map or excel so its formated as a date field.
Excel's Format Cell function does not seem to work converting them back to just 5/26/11.
How can I keep the outlines and formatting in my data while exporting it to Excel.
I would appreciate any guidance.

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"

Export Data To Fixed Length File

Hello,
I have a requirement to export a couple of files that need to be in a fixed length format.
I've tried opening the dataset and writing the records passing the column that the records should appear:
    WRITE /, field1, 10 field2, etc...
I've also tried to do it through SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT and the text version as well.
Is there a predefined function that will allow me to export as fixed length?
Thank you in advance

Hi Jeff,
Following is the code to do the same:
DATA: file TYPE string VALUE `flights.dat`,
      wa   TYPE spfli.
FIELD-SYMBOLS TYPE x.
OPEN DATASET file FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.
SELECT *
       FROM spfli
       INTO wa.
ASSIGN wa TO CASTING.
TRANSFER TO file.
* TRANSFER LENGTH 200 to file.
ENDSELECT.
CLOSE DATASET file.
Best regards,
Prashant

How to export data with months on columns?

Folks,
I need to export data from BPC NW in this format:
ENTITY,ACCOUNT,JAN,FEB,MAR,APR,MAY,JUN,JUL,AUG,SEP,OCT,NOV,DEC
Does anybody has a sample transformation file or guidelines on how to achieve it?
I tried *MVAL without luck.
Thanks
Paulo

Hi Paulo,
*MVAL could have been helpful while importing and if you would have been converting key figure model to account based model. However, you are trying to do complete opposite. You are exporting data and converting account based model to key figure model. I would suggest you to make use of BADI start an end routines for this.
Hope this helps.

How to export the report in HTML format for desktop application

Hi,
i have wrote the JRC desktop application to export the report and i am able to export it in PDF and other formats as mentioned in "ReportExportFormat" API.
i would like to know is there any API there which can export the report in HTML format.
i know it would be possible with web based application of JRC, but how can i do it in desktop application?

There's no mechanism for static HTML pages that displays the report.
You can use the CrystalReportViewer DHTML viewer, but that's 'interactive'.
Sincerely,
