How to store a file in application server with comma as a delimiter !!

<i>Hi,
   I'm Creating a file in app. server using "open dataset" statment and populating the file using Transfer stmt.
I like to store the data fields with comma delimiter, since it normally fixed length.
Please let me know Any method available.
Thank You,
Senthil</i>

No problem, just concatenate all your fields into one field separated by a comma. Then transfer that field only.
data: your_dataset type localfile default '/usr/sap/TST/SYS/Data1.txt'.
data: output type string.
open dataset your_dataset for output in text mode.
loop at itab.
concatenate itab-fld1
              itab-fld2
              itab-fld3
                   into output separated by ','.
transfer output to your_dataset.
endloop.
close dataset your_dataset.

How to move PDF file from Spool to Application Server?

How to move PDF file from Spool to Application Server?
Cannot use RSTXPDFT4 because that converts OTF to PDF and the file is already PDF.
RSTXPDFT5 doesn't work. It picks the file up and assigns it a 'text' type and outputs a 1 line txt (1kb in size) on the server with the spool number in it!
The program which outputs the file to the spool, in the first place, uses adobe forms and outputs to a printer of type PDF.

Hi Gemini ,
Please refer the below links.

Read PDF Formatted Spool and write PDF File to Application Server

Hi Experts,
After ECC 6.0, HR-W2 and W2C Form Spools are getting generated in PDF format.
We have a requirement wherein we want to read the PDF Spool Programatically and write the PDF file to Application server (Using OPEN DATASET and CLOSE DATASET)
PARAMETERS : p_spono LIKE tsp01-rqident.
DATA: pdf_data type FPCONTENT.
types: lt_pdf_table(1000) type x.
data: l_pdf_data type standard table of lt_pdf_table,
       l_pdf_line type lt_pdf_table,
       l_offset type i,
       l_len type i,
       p_file(100) VALUE '\sapout\DVH\pdf2.pdf'.
*Read the spool content
CALL FUNCTION 'FPCOMP_CREATE_PDF_FROM_SPOOL'
    EXPORTING
         i_spoolid = p_spono
         i_partnum = '1'
    IMPORTING
           e_pdf = pdf_data
*         e_pdf_file = file
    EXCEPTIONS
         ads_error = 1
         usage_error = 2
         system_error = 3
         internal_error = 4
    OTHERS = 5.
* Modify the spool contents to prepare internal table
l_len = xstrlen( pdf_data ).
while l_len >= 1000.
    l_pdf_line = pdf_data+l_offset(1000).
    append l_pdf_line to l_pdf_data.
    add 1000 to l_offset.
    subtract 1000 from l_len.
endwhile.
if l_len > 0.
    l_pdf_line = pdf_data+l_offset(l_len).
    append l_pdf_line to l_pdf_data.
endif.
* GUI DOWNLOAD Works Fine
* Now pdf contents is ready , lets store in local PC
*CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
* EXPORTING
*   filename                        = 'C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\shital.pdf'

* TABLES
*    data_tab                        = l_pdf_data.

          ' Error closing file:'(Z04) p_file.
ENDIF.
Currently as you can see I have commented out GUI_DOWNLOAD Function Module, But it works perfect when I try to Download file to Local Desktop.
But when I try to pass the same Contents to Application server file and then try to open it by downloading file then it opens BLANK pdf file.
As per requirements I should be able to write the file correctly on Application server and If I dowload it from there it should open PDF file correctly.
Let me know if you require further details about the issue.
Regards
Shital

Saving PDF file into application server

Dear all,
My requirement is retrieving a PDF file from application server and modifying the document and saving it back to the application server through BSP application.
I've retrieved the data from the application server and displayed it in the frame of BSP layout and modified the same (adding signature). We got stuck in saving back the signed document into the application server.
Can anyone guide me in saving back the modified document or how to get the modified file content through BSP.
Regards
Srini

transfer all the data from ur itabs to one final itab declared as follow
DATA: BEGIN OF final_itab OCCURS 0,
                 document TYPE string,
           END OF final_itab.
then finally,
OPEN DATASET 'yourfile.pdf' FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
len = strlen( final_itab-DOCUMENT ).
TRANSFER final_itab-DOCUMENT TO 'yourfile.pdf' LENGTH len.
CLOSE DATASET 'yourfile.pdf'.
This ends the coding mate.
Enjoy it n have a good day.

Retrieving PDF form from Application server

Thanks in advance,
Sree

Hi,
1st solution - use DOI (desktop office integration). This way you can open Adobe, Microsoft, and others application documents directly in the SAP windows. See SAP document how to do it. It's not a little work, but it should fulfill your requirements.
2nd solution - share the folder with the PDF documents and then with shell command (start
server\folder\xxxxxx.pdf) at the front end access it and start the associated application at the frontend. I don't recommend this one, sharing folders at the appl.server is a security threat...
You know about the points and useful answers...

Move pdf file into application server

Hi ABAP Gurus,
i want your valuable help in solving my problem.
i tried to create PDF file in application server and its creating as
PDF file in Application server..but i am unable to see the content in text ,

in presentation server i am able to see it as text in PDF file....
Can u please let me know whats wrong in my work and how to create a PDF file
in Application server with text content
with regards,

Hi Gowri,
Check this example....
report ztest.
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
field(256),
end of itab.
data: dsn(100) value '/usr/sap/xfr/FIS/testpdf',
length like sy-tabix,
lengthn like sy-tabix.
call function 'GUI_UPLOAD'
exporting
filename = 'c:\temp\test.pdf'
filetype = 'BIN'
importing
filelength = length
tables
data_tab = itab.
open dataset dsn for output in binary mode.
loop at itab.
transfer itab-field to dsn.
endloop.
close dataset dsn.
clear itab.
refresh itab.
*- To crosscheck if it went well
open dataset dsn for input in binary mode.
do.
read dataset dsn into itab-field.
if sy-subrc = 0.
append itab.
else.
exit.
endif.
enddo.
call function 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
exporting
filename = 'c:\temp\testn.pdf'
filetype = 'BIN'
bin_filesize = length
importing
filelength = lengthn
tables
data_tab = itab.
Or
Use the TCode
CG3Z or CG3Y
for downloading to Application Server.
Thanks,

How deploy 6i Forms Fmx trought Application Server 10g

Hello every one,
Situation :
In my company, we have a software developed by a team using Oracle Forms 6i, the application is connected te Oracle 9i Database and every thing works well.
Problem :
I was able to upgrade the database from 9i to 10g. But my question : is it possible to deploy all the Forms (fmx 6i version) on Application Server 10g. I want to use the 3-tiers architecture.
Take note that i have not the fmb source files. Just the FMX (about 40 files)
If yes, can you explain also how to proceed (tools to install on Application Server) and how to setup the connection between the 3 tiers throught a LOCAL NETWORK.
Regards
Kira

You will at least need to recompile all those *.fmb to *.fmx in the version of the App server you will be using.
We have a forms6 c/s application we are migrating to forms 11g and it almost that easy (except for changes in how you launch reports).
The application server is setup alot like the client/server side of forms is, it needs a tnsnames.ora that points to the database and it needs to know where you will be storing the forms and report. Looks for any *.fmx and that will be the default location.
