Loading into CSV format file

I'm trying to load data into csv format file, by adding "," at the "Text Delimiter" at the "Files" tab. However, it adds several commas as:
,aaaaaa , ,aaaaaaaa , ,aa,
,bbbbbb , ,bbbbbbbb , ,bb,
,cccccc , ,cccccccc , ,cc,
Can anyone confirm if it's right way to load into csv file?

There is too many commas!
You should not use a comma in your text delimiter but a quote' or double quote"
and put a comma in the field separator to have something like
"aaa","aaaa","aa"

Is there a way to download data into CSV format?

Is there a way to download data into CSV format?
I can't do this using delimiter as ',' because user wants the decimal format in the ','s only.
Any suggestions?

Converting excel source into csv format

Hi,
I have to convert excle source into csv format.
my excel source has around 40000 records.
Please give me the suggestions how to do it.
Thanks,
Venkat

Or, if this is going to be an ongoing issue with new files needing to be converted, there are several utilities out there of various quality and price which can be considered. A quick google turned up a whole host of options for various platforms.
I can't comment on any of them as I haven't used them, but clearly there are several converters with command-line interfaces which should be capable to be utilized as an external command in your process flow.
Like: http://www.softinterface.com/Convert-XLS/Features/Convert-XLS-To-CSV.htm
Heck, if you really want to have fun and DIY, I know that there are native Perl Excel modules, so you could always build your own and make it cross-platform!

Creating CSV format/files from Objects

Hi,
Context : I need to convert a linear object (having only one level of member variables) into CSV format.
Progress: I have been able to create CSV format if strings are passed.
Requirement: However, I was wondering if it is possible to create the entire CSV at one shot, instead of having to pass the object members separately, as this wud turn out to be very cumbersome for objects with lots of members...
Is there a way to create a csv file or formatted text, if given a linear object?
Any pointers appreciated
Cheers!
Nick

i was wondering....
if the class is dynamically created at runtime, then we would not be able to build such a functionality. Any thoughts?

Property loader in .csv Format : Error with list of Numbers

Hi,
I need to change property files from the .xls format to the .csv format so that I won't need to install Ms Office on the Test Station PC.
Everything works is .csv format except for variales containing lists of numbers. Here is an example.
This variable contains the channel list to send to a Digital Multimeter. A string containing all channel numbers seperated by comas (The DMM model is Agilent 34070A).
I create a variable named ChannelList of type string containing : "101,102,103,104,105"
When exporting to property file (Using Tools-Import/Export properties), TestStand will write the following line is .csv format :
ChannelList,"101,102,103,104,105"
When trying to import this property value with a property loader I get the following error :
Runtime Error Occured
Error evaluating expression:Runstate.Sequence.locals.ChannelList = (""101")
Unexpected Token: 101
What puzzles me is that teststand is not even capable of reading its own exported property within a newly created file.
Any ideas?
TestStand 2013
Thanks in advance
Nien

Nien,
This is a known issue and we are looking into this issue in future version of TestStand.
There are couple of approaches for fixing the problem:
1. Use a different character for comma in the property loader file. After importing the data, replace the character with comma using TestStand expression in the sequence file.
2. Use Tab Delimited Text format instead of CSV format.
3. We can see that, property loader is using expression to update the value of the property (The exact expression is specified in the error message you have posted). In a text editor, update the csv file to have the value as
ChannelList,101""+Chr(44)+""102""+Chr(44)+""103""+Chr(44)+""104""+Chr(44)+""105
This will create the expression such that, the value of ChannelList property will become 101,102,103,104,105
Note: This is just a workaround and you should use this approach with caution.
Thanks,
Shashidhar

i_field_seperator = ';'
I_LINE_HEADER =
i_tab_raw_data = lt_file
i_filename = p_filename

Please check what separetor this fm and your file are using. It should be the same.

Saving a report with two query providers into .csv format

Hi,
I have developed a webi report which has two query providers. I have linked the objects from these two queries at the report level using merged dimensions. the report is running fine. When I save it in EXCEL or PDF it saves the same report, but when I try to save the report in .CSV format, the output of the second query provided is getting appened at the bottom of the report.
Has anyone encountered similar problem is so whats the solution for it.
For me business wants the report to be saved as .csv only as it acts as a source file to other application.

Hi
please take a look at the explanation area in the following note
https://css.wdf.sap.corp/sap/support/notes/1417382
When saving Web Intelligence document as Excel format, the result is saved based on the report design.
When saving Web Intelligence document as CSV format, all data in the Data Provider are saved.
I believe that the behaviour you described is by design so there is not much to do about it. You can open a case by SAP support though asking if this changed in a later service pack (actual service pack version for XI R2 is SP 6).

Stratos
