Hi,
You can handle this in mapping. just pur a condition for all the fields(middle name, last name) if missing like
field---
          equalS-----If then----Constant(Space)-----Target field ---else----Field-----Target Field.
Constant(blank)
Thanks!

Hi All,

Handling Tab Delimited File generation in non-unicode for multi byte lang

Hi,
Requirement:
We are generating a Tab Delimited File in different languages (Single Byte and Multi Byte) and placing the files at application server.
Problem:
Our system is a Non-unicode system so we are facing problems with generation of Tab delimited file for multibyte languages like Russian, Japanese, Chinese etc.,
I am actually using data: d_tab TYPE X value '09' but it dont work for multi byte. I cant see tab delimited file at application server path.
Any thoughts about how to proceed on this issue?Please let me know.
Thanks & Regards,
Pavan

On a non-unicode system the X Variant is working, but not on a unicode system. Here you must use the class. On the other hand you can use the class on a non-unicode system und your char var will always be correct (one byte/twobyte depending on which system your report is running).
What you are planning to do is to put a file with an amount of possible characters into a system with has a less amount of characters. Thats not working in no way.
What you can do is to build up a multi-code-page system where the codepage is bound to the user or bound to the logon-language. Here you you can read and process textfiles in several codepages - but not a textfile in unicode. You have to convert the unioce textfile into a non-unicode textfile before processing it.
Remember that SAP does not support multi-code-page Systems anymore and multi-code-page systems will result in much more work when converting the system to unicode.
Even non-unicode system will not be maintained by SAP in the near future.
What you encounter here are problems for what unicode was developped. A unicode system can handle non-unicode textfiles, but the other way round will always lead to problems which cant be solved.

To import addresses, need format of tab delimited file

I am trying to import addresses from my G3 PB Mozilla App. I exported addresses on G3 to both ldif and tab-delimited files and then attached to an email message which I sent to myself. I received email on Mac mini, but the 2 files showed up inline, not as attachments. I copied the ldif portion to a text file; ditto for tab-delimited. I tried importing into Address Book, but got message that format was not valid.
Can't I just edit the tab-delimited file in TextEdit, save as RTF, and get Address Book to recognize the data?
Thanks,
Owen

Create tab delimited file

Hi,
I must create a tab delimited output complex text file from a read on a database table. The file has multiple record lines in it. I have created the XSD from the sample output file and have each field terminated by a './T' . I must pass a tab for each field regardless of whether it is populated from my source data. I can not send a space in the field. How can I map a null value through the XSLT so that the output file has a tab? I've tried setting a default on the xsd but that seems to do nothing. Currently I am setting a fixed text through the mapper to space for all the fields that I do not use. I then go into the XSL and remove the space from the <xsl:text></xsl:text> element. This works, however when I go back into the mapper and change anything through the xslt, it wipes out all of my empty text elements.
Any ideas on how to create a tab delimited file that has tabs for fields that have no data?
Thank you much,
Kevin Meyer

Tab Delimited File Using Receiver FCC

Hi Experts,
I need to generate a Tab Delimited File Using Receiver FCC. I have achieved the same by copying the tab length from a notepad and used the same in name.fieldSeparator parameter.
The other below mentioned values for name.fieldSeparator didnu2019t produce the expected result:
name.fieldSeparator=u2019htu2019
name.fieldSeparator=u2019\tu2019
name.fieldSeparator=u2019 0x09u2019
So just need to know if my approach for achieving this is fine or not.
Thanking you in advance.
Aditya.

Verma,
name.fieldSeparator=u2019 0x09u2019
I see a space after the first comma. Try removing it and give a try.
'0x09' with no spaces.

How to convert Mail attachment file Tab Delimited file to XML.

Hi PI Experts
 I have XI scenario: MAIL XI SAP (ABAP Proxy), the process is
1. XI will receive tab delimited file as attachment in mail.
2. XI will convert the tab delimited file into XML, then map to the target structure.
3. Target will be posted into ECC through ABAP Proxy.
Can anyone help me how can I convert the attachment file (i.e. Tab delimited file) to XML while configuring the sender side.
Thanks in Advance

I just grabed what I answered from another thread. It should work.
Processing sequence as follows:
1. localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean Local Enterprise Bean swap1
2. localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean Local Enterprise Bean tran1
3. sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean Local Enterprise Bean mail
Module Configuration as follows: Fill the XXXX part with your info.
swap1 swap.keyName payload-name
swap1 swap.keyValue MailAttachment-1
tran1 Transform.Class com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.Conversion
tran1 Transform.ContentType ext/xml;charset=utf-8
tran1 xml.conversionType SimplePlain2XML
tran1 xml.documentName XXXXXXX_Mail
tran1 xml.documentNamespace http://XXXXX.com.au/XXXX
tran1 xml.fieldSeparator \t
tran1 xml.processFieldNames fromConfiguration
tran1 xml.structureTitle rows
Once you set up the above configuration, you will get one record at a time.
Create a souce message interface like the followings:
XXXXXXXXX_Mail
rows
record
Target message interface:
XXXXXXXXX
rows
field 1
field 2
field 3
Write a UDF function to remove the TAB space
public removeTABSpace(String record,Container container){
//write your code here
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(record,"\t",false);
String t="";
while (st.hasMoreElements()) t += st.nextElement();
return t;
Write another UDF to get the field 1 for example:
public String getField1(String input,Container container){
int counter=0;
int beginIndex=0;
int endIndex=0;
int i;
for (i=0;i<input.length();i++){
if (input.charAt(i)==34){
counter=counter+1;
if (counter==1){
beginIndex=i+1;
counter=0;
break;
for (i=0;i<input.length();i++){
if (input.charAt(i)==34){
counter=counter+1;
if (counter==2){
endIndex=i;
counter=0;
break;
input=input.substring(beginIndex,endIndex);
return input;
Get the mapping like the followings:
record - removeTABSpace - getField1 - field 1
If you need to get field 2, you will need to write another UDF similar to the above one to handle it.

Tab delimited file on app server. How to do that?

Hello,
When i transfer a tab delimited file from pre. server(windows) to app. server(windows) using CG3Z , the tab delimitation is not working.
for eg : the file with below layout
01.04.2007 31.03.2008 1 120
01.05.2007 31.07.2008 2 140
is getting changed like
01.04.2007#31.03.2008#1#120
01.05.2007#31.07.2008#2#140
All i need is a tab delimited file in app server also . Wats that i need to do for this ? Also how can i write a tab delimited file on app server through my program using open dataset.
Thanks for ur time.
Jeeva.

Hi..
Check this code: you will find the solution:
Using the Static Attribute CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB
Example:
This is the Simple way you can download the ITAB with Tab delimiter:
DATA : V_REC(200).
OPEN DATASET P_FILE FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA.
Concatenate WA-FIELD1 WA-FIELD2
 INTO V_REC
 SEPARATED BY CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.
TRANSFER V_REC TO P_FILE.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET P_FILE.
Note: if there are any Numeric fields ( Type I, P, F) In your ITAB then before CONCATENATE you have to Move them to Char fields ..
Reward if Helpful.
Example:
DATA: V_RECORD(200).
OPEN DATASET P_FILE FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
DO.
READ DATASET P_FILE INTO V_RECORD.
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
 EXIT.
ENDIF.
SPLIT V_Record at CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB
 INTO WA-FIELD1 WA-FIELD2.
APPEND WA TO ITAB.
ENDDO.
reward if Helpful.

How can I save a Numbers spreadsheet as a tab delimited file?

Okay, I would like to save a Numbers spreadsheet as a tab delimited file. But of course I can't do that, since Numbers only saves as a comma separated values file.
Plan B: I can open up a CSV file created by Numbers in TextEdit, and I would like to Find and Replace all the commas with tabs. So I open up the Find window, enter a comma under Find, but of course when I put the cursor in the Replace blank and hit the Tab key, it just goes to the next blank instead of giving me a Tab.
Is there a way I can get a Tab into that blank so I can replace all the commas with tabs?
--Dave

Hello
When we use TextEdit as I described, rows are separated by Returns.
It appears that your program requires LineFeeds.
Here is a neat soluce.
Save this script as an Application Bundle.
--\[SCRIPT tsv2csv]
(* copy to the clipboard a block of datas separated by tabs
run the script
You will get on the desktop a csv file named from the current date-time.
The values separator is set to match the Bento's requirements:
If the decimal separator is period, the script uses commas.
If the decimal separator is comma, the script uses semi-colons.
This may be changed thru the setting of the property maybeSemiColon.
According to the property needLF,
embedded Returns will be replaced by LineFeeds
or
embedded LineFeeds will be replaced by Returns

Tab Delimited File?

Hi All,
I am trying to create a tab delimited file using Sender File adapter using File content Conversion in Adapter Module. I want a constant space beteween the fields of length 8 spaces. When i use ' ' as field seperater , the file that is generated is 19' 'Stringtest14,Hiring' '09/03/2007' 'Managing Dir, Operations. I want the file without colons i.e 19 Stringtest14,Hiring' 09/03/2007 Managing Dir, Operations.
Please Advice...
Regards,
XIer

Hi Xler
content conversion parameters ,, just like
Recordset structure = DT_PRY,*
DT_PRY.fieldnames = ID,empname,empno,country
DT_PRY.fieldSeparator = '0x09' (tab delimited)
DT_PRY.endSeparator = 'nl'

The FCC...
Document Name : MT_PRY
Document Namespace : http://product.com/prvsoup
Recordset Name : recordset
Recordset structure = DT_PRY,*
DT_PRY.fieldnames = ID,empname,empno,country
DT_PRY.fieldSeparator = '0x09'
DT_PRY.endSeparator = 'nl'
ignoreRecordsetName = true
