LSMW field reading problem

Hi Experts,
I am trying to create a LSMW for ROH type material to create materials for tcode MM01. I have 62 fields to upload but having a problem. When i am passing through step READ DATA i noticed that upto 50 fields it is getting read successfully but from 51th no field data is getting read from my .txt upload file. Let me discuss the problem in details. My 50th field is of size 3 characters. Now if i put value of size 3 characters for that field no data is getting read from 51 to 62 fields. But if i pass a value of say 1 character in the 50th field then, the first 2 characters of 51th field is getting read and the rest is blank. Can anyone explain this ? Please suggest me.
Thanks in advance.

Surya

Step-by-Step Guide for using BAPI in LSMW
Note! The screen prints in this article are from ECC 5.0. They may differ slightly in other versions.
Introduction:
This document details the usage of BAPI in LSMW. We have used the example of migration of the purchase order data into SAP.
Pre-requisites:
It is assumed that the reader of this article has the minimum knowledge required on the Business Object, BAPI, Message Types and IDoc Types.
Step-by-Step Procedure:
Details of the BAPI used in this scenario:
Business Object: BUS2012
Method: CreateFromData
Details of Message Type and Basic IDoc Type:
Message Type: PORDCR
Basic IDoc Type: PORDCR02
Lets have a look at the BAPI first, before proceeding to the LSMW:
1. Go to Transaction BAPI
2. Click on Search Button
3. Enter the value BUS2012 and select Obj.type(Technical Object Name
4. Press ENTER
5. Following screen appears:
6. On the left side of the screen, Expand the PurchaseOrder.
7. Select PurchaseOrder and double-click on the same for details.
Building LSMW using BAPI:
1. Go to Transaction LSMW.
2. Enter the Project, Subproject and Object information and click on CREATE.
3. Enter the descriptions for Project, Subproject and Object.
4. Now select Settings à IDoc Inbound Processing
5. IDoc Inbound Processing screen appears. Enter the required details as shown below:

Lsmw error 'Specify Files first' while executing option 'Read Data'.

Hi All,
while trying to create mass users through LSMW, i am gettign the error 'Specify Files first' while executing option 'Read Data'.
I have specified file (.txt), manually created (with'1 tab space' between each term). i have used option 'On the PC(Frontend)'. No error while saving.
Next- i have executed 'Assign Files', where the file appeared automatically.
Next- Here, when i try to execute 'Read Data', i get the error 'Specify Files first'.
Can anyone help in resolving this error.

Hello Plaban,
What is your purpose? Are you tring to upload the data with more file variant?
There are two possibilities to make file names more variable:
1.If you choose system dependent file names by setting the according flag (in the first step 'Maintain object attributes'), you can define file names for each system in step 'Specify files' by assigning the files to a specific system ID (with a double-click on the specified file).
2.You can use wildcards in the file names where you can assign several values.
I hope this helps you.
Regards,
Blanca

LSMW Read Data behaving differently in production and in ECC

Hi All,
I have writte a LSMW for CJ12 longtext and it is working fine in development but in production it giving error message at 13th step as BDC_INSERT, Transaction code .. is invalid and when i try to simulate the issue i found that in Read Data step i found the difference as transactions read in development are 399 where as the transactions read in production are 267 for the same file.And i debugged the Display Read program and observed that the read program used GUI_UPLOAD to read the data from the text file.and there itself the GUI_UPLOAD internal table contains 399 in development and 267 in production.I tried to simulate why this is happening but coldn't figure out.Can any one help me why this has happened.And we are using ECC6 with EHP4 in development and EHP3 in production and it has to upgrade to EHP4.

if you are really certain about the source file (I doupt too) then there are only 2 more possibilities
a) your LSMW object is different (transport it again from developement to production, only so you can be sure that LSMW object and source will be the same)
b) a real SAP error because of different release levels. Open a ticket at SAP to get help.

LSMW Read Data Error

Hi Experts,
While Specifying the path to upload legacy data in lsmw, i have mentioned the lan server path directly to read flat file from specified network location.
Say example:
beprod4\em\4_Testing_Phase\05_Object\Upload Files\Master Codes\Master Codes.txt
An error message "File '
beprod4\em\4_Testing_Phase\05_Object\Upload Files\'does not exist or is currently locked" is coming up while reading the data from the specified path.
Can you advice me possible reasons for the error and to resolve it.
Thanks,
Kris.

Hi,
In LSMW, steps; After Specify File, Did u assign the file in the next step?
Also check if the file exists in the location and is in the same format(Separators..etc) as specified while in the LSMW step: Specify files.

Shiva

LSMW - Read Data vs Convert Date for DATES

Hi everybody,
I have a problem with my LSMW for a date field.
In the .txt file it is defined as 01.01.1900.
(I can change it, e.g. make 01011900 but at the end SAP wants to have 01.01.1900 as input)
In the 'Maintain Source Fields' of my LSMW I defined it as a DDMY(010) field.
When 'Reading the Data' you can choose to check Date Value -> YYYYMMDD
When I check it, it gives:
For 'Display Read Data': 19000101
And after 'Convert Data' : 01011900
When I don't check it, it gives:
For 'Display Read Data': 01.01.1900
And after 'Convert Data' : 191.01.0 (?!?)
The fact is that in SAP it needs to be in following format: 01.01.1900 (so DD.MM.YYYY) so none of both solutions is right.
Can anybody tell me how I should configure this LSMW that I can transfer dates properly?
Thank you very much!
Kind Regards,
Caroline

Hi Caroline,
before doing upload change ur system settings to yyyy.mm.dd (just go to menu bar click on System->user profile->own data in this go for default ) and save it and do log off and log in ,
and then go for source fields and specify the Date field length as 8 char,
and then in mapping step for that particular field write the code as per the below
just change as per ur Target structure and Source structure and field name .
Make sure that in ur input file the Date field is in the format of yyyy.mm.dd
if not as91_ztable-AKTIV is initial.
replace '.' with '' into as91_ztable-AKTIV.
replace '.' with '' into as91_ztable-AKTIV.
condense as91_ztable-AKTIV no-gaps.
BALTD-AKTIV = AS91_ZTABLE-AKTIV.
else.
baltd-aktiv = '/'.
endif.
Thanks

Hi Srinivas,
Strange that this only occurs in Production. Could try to switch on debugging and step forward until the error occurs? Perhaps this gives a clue what the problem might be.

Issue regarding LSMW, not showing all records after Read Data

Dear Experts,
Plz help.. I need to configure a LSMW for ROH material.. so I made recording, n then create a structure.. accordingly.
the problem is.. at the time of reading data from .txt file.at the step of Display Read Data it showing only 50 records, rest are not displaying.. but not showing any error.. so my question to our expert that is their any limitations for reading data... if their.. then how could it be elasticated...
plz suggest..
regards,
sandy

the read step has a selection screen where you can define from which to which record you want read.
make sure this selection is empty for a test.
Further check if your source file has more than 50 records.
then make sure that you really read this source file and not any other version (check path and file name in step 7 of LSMW)

LSMW in ECC6.0 - Read Data Error

Dear SAP Gurus,
I am trying to create an LSMW in ECC6.0 for uploading GL Masters data for Chart of Account. I have got thru till "Read Data"
On Executing "Read Data" I am getting this error
"Loading from front end is not allowed for packed/hexadec. fields"
This comes up even though I had not given "Hexadecimal Lth field" but nothing works and Code Page selected is ASCII (not IBM DOS)
Please Help!
Thanks

Sorry it doesnt works. I am not in a position to understand as to why this error is coming up at first place.
While specifying the file type I am giving the parameters correctly, that is, I am not giving the Code Page as IBM DOS.
Parameters:

LSMW - Read Data not showing in Converted Data

Hi,
I am using LSMW to load data from a flat file (via recording). I have it working except I have one issue. When I display the data in read data all fields are showing. No errors popup when I select convert data. When I select display converted data the last few fields are missing. Any ideas why or how to fix this?
Any help is appreciated as I do not know how to proceed.
Thanks,
Annette

HI Bush,
Currently I am also facing the same problem. In "display read data" it is showing all the field values. No error msg in "convert data". But only 2 fields are displaying in "display converted data". not showing any values in rest of the fields. Kindly suggest me how you fixed this problem
