Justification of number field in output file

I created a abap program to write a file to my C drive. I have to create this file with the fields in certain columns and the numeric fileds are causing me problems. is there a way to left-justify the numeric values so that they all end in the same column. this way I can control the spacing of the rest of the fields. I have checked the forum and can not find anything on this. I have also did the F1 on the DATA field so see some help but there is no explaination for it.

Just like this Tim, notice here I'm using the same example program, not the SHIFT statements, this will force the FLD2 field to push the numbers to the right of the field, hence lining them up.
report zrich_0001.
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
      fld1(10) type c,
      fld2(20) type c,
      fld3(10) type c,
      end of itab.
itab-fld1 = 'A'.
itab-fld2 = '100.00'.
shift itab-fld2 right deleting trailing space.
itab-fld3 = 'C'.
append itab.
itab-fld1 = 'D'.
itab-fld2 = '1000.00'.
shift itab-fld2 right deleting trailing space.
itab-fld3 = 'F'.
append itab.
itab-fld1 = 'G'.
itab-fld2 = '10000.00'.
shift itab-fld2 right deleting trailing space.
itab-fld3 = 'I'.
append itab.
call function 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
     exporting
          filename = 'C:test.txt'
     tables
          data_tab = itab.

Setting up FileName for Output file in SendPort

Hi - I have a requirement setting up FileName in output file. For instance say, whatever I receive in the 'FathersName' field that Output File should be with that File Name.
For e.g. if data received in FathersName field is JOHN, output file name should be JOHN.xml
I am using File Adapters on Receive and send side.
Can this be achieved just by Messaging Scenario or do I need to implement this using Orchestration ?
If so, please advise on how to do this ?
e.
MBH

To achieve this, you will have to set your filename value on one of the Context Properties available as a File Adapter macro. For example FILE.ReceivedFileName is mapped to the %SourceFileName% macro.
You have several options to do this:
Set FILE.ReceivedFileName in an Orchestration. It does not have to be Promoted.
Write the Property ReceivedFileName in namespace
http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/file-properties in a Custom Pipeline Component.
If FathersName can be used in the file name unmodified, you set FathersName as a Promoted Property on the schema and Promote directly to FILE.ReceivedFileName.
For 1 & 2, you will have to extract FathersName somehow, such as a distinguished field.
A Custom Pipeline Component or direct Promotion are the only way to achieve this in Messaging only.

MT103 - IBAN fields not output in DME file

We completed the necessary payment method / payment media configuration using the PMW for MT103. We are testing payments in EUR which our banks says should output the IBAN number from the vendor master record vs. the SWIFT account. When the DME file is output, the SWIFT code or the bank account number is output instead of the IBAN.
Does anyone know how to output the IBAN number instead?
Thanks,
Jason

Hi Jason,
To populate the IBAN number in the DME File please follow the following configuration process:
1. Execute Program SAPFPAYM to create a variant.
2. Enter MT103 in Payment Medium Format and click enter
3. Then click on the Format Parameters.
4. One pop-up appears " Other specifications for payment medium formats MT103"
5. Check the field " Transfer IBAN".
6. After this assign this variant to your Company Code and House Bank in TCode OBPM4 under MT103 Payment Format.
This way you would be able to transfer IBAN to your payment file.
Regards,
Sanjay

How to calculate number of data records in a XML output file

Hi,
After generating a XML output file from Oracle Reports, I want to calculate number of records in the XML file. Is it possible? Specifically, I want to calculate number of records for a group variable ( organization_id, which I use for bursting).
Thanks for the help.

Thanks BIPuser. It is useful for me.
I can use this xsl function within the template. However, I'm also looking to print this in the concurrent request log file. So, outside of rtf template, id there any PL/SQL based XML functions I can use to count the number of records.
Thanks.

How do I use UTL_FILE to insert a large number of fields to a file?

Hi
I am trying to use UTL_FILE for the first time in a Stored Procedure. I need to run a complex query to select 50 fields from various tables. I need these to be inserted into one line in the output file for all rows. Is this possible? My procedure so far is like the following
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PROC_TEST IS
output_file UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
BEGIN
FOR query in (SELECT FIELD1, FIELD2, ..........FIELD50)
FROM TABLE A, TABLE B
WHERE A.ID = B.ID
ETC
LOOP
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE(output_file, <put all 50 fields for all records into file> );
END LOOP;
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE (output_file);
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
NULL;
WHEN OTHERS THEN
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
RAISE;
END PROC_TEST;
Do I need to define 'query' (after the FOR) anywhere, also please advise with how I put all of the fields into the file.
Thanks
GB

Thanks Steve,
I have the UTL_FILE working fine now.
I have other queries to run and conditions to apply in the same procedure, and I need to schedule via Enterprise Manager, therefore using UTL_FILE in a procedure seemed the best option. I looked up Data-pump but this seems to be an 11g feature, and we are still on 10g therefore I will not be able to use it.
Thanks for your help.

How to get the Output File Name as One of the Field Value From Payload

Hi All,
I want to get the Output file name as one of the Field value from payload.
Example:
Source XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_TEST xmlns:ns0="http://sample.com">
- <Header>
<NAME>Bopanna</NAME>
</Header>
</ns0:MT_TEST>
I want to get the Output file name as " Bopanna.xml"
Please suggest me on this.
Regards
Bopanna

Hi,
There are couple of links already available for this. Just for info see the below details,
The Output file name could be used from the field value of payload. For this you need to use the UDF DynamicFile name with below code,
// Description: Function to create dynamic Filename
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" , "FileName");
conf.put(key,a);
return "";
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" , "FileName");
conf.put(key,a);
return "";
With this udf map it with the MessageType as
(File Name field from Payload) > DynamicFileConfiguration>MTReceiver
Thanks

LR 5.7.1 File Renaming start number field is missing

Installed Lr CC 5.7.1 on a MacBook Air OS 10.10.2 - in the Lr import window in the File Renaming panel the Start Number field is missing and I can not add a start number to the files? Any suggestions on what is causing this issue and how to repair this Start Number field omission?

Sounds like you are looking for the "sequence" field. The "original file number" is also a good one to use.

Syndicator:Restricting Number of records in a output file

Is there any mechanism by which i could restrict the number of records syndicated to a single output file ?.
Currently the only option seems to be output all records(matching certain criteria) or a single record to XML file/s.

Hi,
You can restrict the search based on the search parameters.
If you want to syndiacte all the data in single XML file the in destination items tab ,
Step 1. Need to select the "Repetable XML Node" for the Main node.
Step 2. In Item Mapping tab Map the Main Table with main node for which you have set the indicator in Step 1.
Hope, I answered you.

How do I zero-fill a field in a Presort Output file?

Hello,
I am trying to zero-fill a field in my Presort address output file. For example, instead of posting ap.pc_no_abs as "1", I need to post it as "00000001"
Thank you,
Dawn Deems

Dawn,
Below are some examples of how to pad data when posting to output:
To right justify data in a character-type field:
In the Post to Output File block, place the following filter(s) to achieve your desired result:
To prepad with leading "spaces" for a total length of 10:
right(" "+alltrim(AP.Field_name), 10)
To prepad with leading "zeros" for a total length of 10:
right("0000000000"+alltrim(AP.Field_name), 10)
Thanks,

Problem with number-fields in csv-Export-Files

Hello,
the export with the csv option works fine and our users like this export-function.
But Unfortunatelly we have some problems with the exported number fields. In my region I defined the field with a format mask.
On the screen it looks fine but when I change to csv the values are exported as text-values.
So in excel the columns are shown with left alignment.
When I try to change the format in excel to number, excel change the column type but not the value inside.
On this account we cannot use the sum-function and the display of the value is wrong (alignment).
Which possibilities do I have to resolve that problem?
Thanks in advance
Ulrike

I have the same issue - Anyone any ideas on how to export currency values in a report to excel as numbers?

jdb gets line number of fields from class file, not
source file definitely.I'm not really sure how you tested this, but here's my test, and JDB definitely gets its listing from the source file.
First, I created and compiled class Tester:
public class Tester
    public static void main( String[] argv )
    throws Exception
        Tester x = new Tester();
        System.out.println(x.toString());
    int     x;
    int     y;
    private Tester()
        x = 0;
        y = 1;
}Then, I ran this in JDB. Note lines 16 and 17 in the output from "list":
H:\Workspace>jdb Tester
Initializing jdb ...
stop in Tester.mainDeferring breakpoint Tester.main.
It will be set after the class is loaded.
runrun Tester
Set uncaught java.lang.Throwable
Set deferred uncaught java.lang.Throwable
>
VM Started: Set deferred breakpoint Tester.main
Breakpoint hit: "thread=main", Tester.main(), line=12 bci=0
12            Tester x = new Tester();
main[1] list
8    {
9        public static void main( String[] argv )
10        throws Exception
11        {
12 =>         Tester x = new Tester();
13            System.out.println(x.toString());
14        }
15
16        int     x;
17        int     y;
main[1] quit
Tester@b82368Then I edited the source file. Again, look at lines 16 and 17:
H:\Workspace>jdb Tester

It will be set after the class is loaded.
runrun Tester
Set uncaught java.lang.Throwable

10        throws Exception
11        {
12 =>         Tester x = new Tester();
13            System.out.println(x.toString());
14        }

File sequence number in a Flat file

Hi,
I am working on Idoc to file scenario wherein my output file will have a sequence number assigned to each level.
there are 4 levels and hence 4 sequence number to be genearted and its values should also have the same sequence number.
i am doing this just by using Counter function.
But when i am getting a multiple detail records, for each detail record(0040) level its keep incrementing.but it should have the same value what its level has.
for ex:

Hi there,
Just to try out from a different view, the following case could be implemented if the pre-requiisites are satisfied:
Pre-requisites:
1) The element that carries a primary factor, let us say, '8765' from your example.
2) Functionally there is an element in your header item that relates the line items under it.
My understanding of your example:
1) Line items present for 00, 10, 40
2) Line item 30 absent in the series
Proposal:
Map source field (the one that is arelating factor, here the one that carries '8765') -> INDEX (start by 0, increment by 1) -> multiply by one.
INDEX standard function property: Donot Reset for every context;

How to create multiple output files using TrAX?

Saxon has specific extensions. In this case it is <xsl:document>. That looks like a standard XSLT element, but it actually isn't. The history behind it is this: There was a proposal to create a new version of XSLT, called XSLT 1.1. One of the new features of this version was to be this xsl:document element. The author of the Saxon product, Michael Kay, is one of the people on the W3C committee directing the evolution of XSLT, so he upgraded his product to implement XSLT 1.1. But then the committee decided to drop XSLT 1.1 as a recommendation. So that left Saxon in the strange position of implementing a non-existent extension to XSLT.
The other outcome of this process was that XSLT (1.0) does not have a way of producing more than one output file from an input file. And so the short answer to your question is "Trax can't do that." However, XSLT 2.0 will be able to do that, although it is not yet a formal W3C recommendation, and when it does become one it will take a while before there are good implementations of it. (I predict that Saxon will be the first good implementation.)
One of the problems with XML and XSLT is that what you knew a year ago is probably obsolete now, because of all the evolution going on. So being new in the field is not a disadvantage, unless you get stung by reading obsolete tutorials or magazine articles.

How to limit 35 charactger field to output 35 bytes in Unicode system

Hello,
I hope someone can help me. We are have upgraded from 4.5b to 6.2 Unicode and in the previous system when 35 characters of double byte characters was output to a Unix file via OPEN DATASET FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE - only 35 bytes would be output. Under unicode we are now having 35 characters being output not 35 bytes. Has anyone had any experience with limiting the number of bytes output to a field. I have tried all variations of the OUTPUT DATASET command.
All help will be much appreciated.
Joanne

FYI
This issue was resolved by creating a flat type C structure and using
SET LOCALE LANGUAGE 'J'
OPEN DATASET dsn FOR OUTPUT IN LEGACY TEXT MODE.
and TRANSFER the contents of the flat data structure TO THE FILE dsn
