Hi Lokesh,
I am using    g_file_name    TYPE file_name,
I am using the Following code to insert where g_file_name I get from
     CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME'
        EXPORTING
          logical_filename = c_log_file
          eleminate_blanks = space
          parameter_1      = g_par
        IMPORTING
          file_name        = g_file_name
        EXCEPTIONS
          file_not_found   = 1
          OTHERS           = 2.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
        g_retcode = sy-subrc.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
G_par is calculated based on Inv_num_postdate_VAtnum_Custname.
      OPEN DATASET g_file_name FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
        LOOP AT i_tlines INTO wa_tlines_line.
          TRANSFER wa_tlines_line TO g_file_name.
        ENDLOOP.
        CLOSE DATASET g_file_name.
      ENDIF.
But it truncates the file name like this

  • File Name Length

    Hi All,
    While down loading .csv file, i can get my file name length dynamicallly upto 157 bytes but not getting more than that.
    I have a requirement to download very long file name. Can any one please suggest me a good solution?.
    My code is
    response.setContentType(contentType);
                        response.setCharacterEncoding("WINDOWS-932");
                        response.setHeader("Content-Disposition",
                                  "attachment; filename="
                                            + URLEncoder.encode(fileName, "UTF-8"));-vignesh

    It seems there is no restrictions in filename's maxlength.
    However, if you check the section 2.3 of this link
    [http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2183.html|http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2183.html]
    It says:
    It is important that the receiving MUA not blindly use the suggested
    filename.  The suggested filename SHOULD be checked
    (and possibly changed) to see that it conforms to local filesystem conventions,
    does not overwrite an existing file, and does not present a security problem
    (see Security Considerations below).I tried to test filename's maxlength with different browsers and found that results differ with browsers.
    The HTTP response header nevertheless contained the full filename.
    Above all, IMO avoiding long filename is the best solution.

  • File name length causing problems

    I want to use my iPod suffle as a data transfer device as well as a MP3 player and am havign real problems copying folders onto it from my iBook or my desktop G4. Is it the file name lengths that are the pprblem (that's certainly the error message I get sometimes). Or the volume of data that I am trying to copy in one hit (400MB-worth)?

  • My Logic file name length changed

    For some reason, Logic started limiting my file name lengths to 31 characters.  This was never an issue before.  I could always use much longer names.  About a week ago, for no apparent reason, it started limiting the length and truncating the names to only 31 characters. Anyone know if this is a bug or is there a setting somewhere that i don't know about.   I'm on OSX 10.6.8.  There is no problem with creating long file names outside of Logic 9.0.0

    This has always been so in Logic. It never suddenly "started"...
    But it was fixed in version 9.1.0, which came out
    almost three years ago
    and is a free update for every LP 9 owner...
    You really should update, there's no reason not to. If you're on a PPC (G4 or G5), you can only go to 9.0.2 (still worth it), if on an Intel Mac (2006 and later), you can go to 9.1.8; this will improve things for you, and also end the 31 charachter limit, which was an atavism.

  • File name length in Windows 7

    What is the max length of the drive+folders+fileName in Windows 7??
    Experimentally I get 219 characters but answers on the web seem to indcate the older 250-260 length. If mine are too long I get a popup window saying "XXX could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct"
    (where XXX is the full name). This message is even wierd as I just double clicked on the file itself - in this case an XLS file.

  • Maximum Server Name Length

    I'm trying to determine if I can have names greater than 15 characters in both Windows server 2012 and AD. To be clear, we are not concerned with backwards compatibility with anything older than Windows 7/2008 R2, so NetBIOS is not a factor that I know of.
    I'm just wondering if using log server names will cause issues in AD, or from a stability/supportability standpoint.  Please advise.

    The maximum length of the host name and of the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is 63 bytes per label and 255 bytes per FQDN. Note Windows does not permit computer names that exceed 15 characters, and
    you cannot specify a DNS host name that differs from the NETBIOS host name.

  • APEX 2.2 - File Browse item maximum file length?

    Hi all,
    There seems to be a maximum length for file name (not path - just the name) that can go into APEX through the File Browse item. I have a file name that is 206 characters long. Even if I put the file in the root directory, when I try to upload it to my APEX application, I get a 404.
    What is the maximum file name length?
    Not relatedly, IE6 balks when the file path length exceeds a certain amount. It doesn't attach the file to the file input HTML element. Does anyone happen to know what that length is?
    Thanks!

  • File Name and Path Length Limitations

    Hi guys,
    We are migrating our Novell NSS Linus File server to Window File server 2008 R2, we do have many directories and files, so of the file names length quite long, is there any tools can be used to identify these files?
    thx

    So you want to validate the file name length in the Novell server? 
    If so, I think it is better to post this question in the Novell forum.

  • Folder/Public Folder - What is the maximum file size before the URL created no longer works

    Hi,
    I have received links to files in beehive folder, where the URL will not load as the file name is to long and it's reach some type of maximum display limit for the URL.
    Is there a maximum document file name length before the URL hit some type of cut of point?
    For example if the document is in a folder, within a folder, within a folder and then the file name, how long can the file name be or how many folders can you go down to in the document area before some type of cut of limit is reached.
    I will locate the example as I am seeing this a lot when the URL comes from a specific team and there seem to be a lot of folders within folders.
    There was nothing in the documentation that I could find - Thanks in advance for your help.

    Miriam,
    The length of the URL is the critical factor in the access to the sub-folders - we have had issues with users having very long folder names without a great depth of folders. There is no actual limit on the depth of the folder structure - I just created 10 folders nested below the Documents area- admittedly the folder names were Documents>1>2>3>4>5>6>7>8>9>10. In the bug database there have been issues where the depth has been up to 50, though the issue has been mainly due to the time taken to get the details of the deep nesting not the actual number of nested folders. In practice a limit of 30 seems to be the point at which the performance can deteriorate so that is the limit we would advise.
    The client used seems to have an influence as well. IE has a limit on the URL of 2048 but it does not seem to be this limit that is hit so there is probably a cut-off at the lower number in the handler. The other clients webDAV, OBEE, OBEO and the Desktop Integration Server supplied with WebCenter have different reactions to deeply nested folders.
    However there was a proposed fix, for a future version which will not now appear, in OBEO and OBEE to report an error if you wanted more than nested 30 folders , though you could go as deep as 50 if the folder names were limited.
    My advice - keep the folder names as short as you can and try other clients - which all work on BeehiveOnline as well as stbeehive as the depth that can be handled is client dependent.

  • File name size

    What is the maximum number of characters a file name should have? I was copying files from another Mac to a ZIP disk to put on my new iMac when copying stopped and reported an error relating to the files names. Some names were more than 22 characters. I shorten all name to less than 20 characters and no more problem.

    In addition to Duane's advice, it may be the names of the files. Especially if the Zip disk is formatted for MS-DOS/Windows. If any of your files include any of the following characters, you'll have to change them to something else.
    ? [ ] / \ = + : ; " ,
    Otherwise, file name length depends on the application or OS. Mac OS 9 or earlier is limited to 31 characters or less. OS X applications can be up to 256 characters. But if it's an older application that was updated to run natively under OS X, it may still be limited to creating file names of 31 characters.
    MS-DOS is limited to an 8.3 name. Windows/Joliet file names can be 256 characters, but that includes the file name path. So a file on the C: drive with a path like c:\windows\system\ can be only as long as 256 minus the number of characters in the file path. In this case, 18 in the path leaves a usable file name of 238.

  • Invalid File Name Errors when syncing to Ipod

    Ever since an update last fall I have been getting Invalid file name errors when I try to sync my ipod. A window would pop up saying "Windows could not copy 'SONGNAME' to the iPod 'IPODNAME' because an unkown error occurred (-37)." I would press OK and another window would immediately pop up that would say, "Attempting to copy to the disk 'IPODNAME' failed. the file name is invalid or too long."
    The windows would keep popping up countless times until the sync would just seem to time out and stop.
    The problem songs would have no problem playing in iTunes.
    Prior to the update this did not happen. No new songs were added around this time and nothing was changed to my file directory structure. I was too busy to troubleshoot this problem at the time and hoped that another update would fix it. Well, here I am many months and updates later and still no fix. After fiddling with iTunes and resetting my Ipod multiple times (goodbye saved angry bird games)I have found out that:
    1. By writing down the file name when the error windows pop up I can get a partial list of the problem file names. I could not get a complete list of the problem files because the sync would time out before a full list could be compiled (the list appears to be in the hundreds).
    2. If I changed the name of the file by adding OR deleting one character, remapping the song in itunes, the song would then sync properly.
    3. If I changed the name of the file, remapped the location of the file within iTunes, changed the name of the file BACK to the original name that iTunes supposedly had a problem with, and then remapped the location of the song within iTunes, the song would then sync properly
    4. If I moved the song to a different directory without changing the file name, remapped the song within iTunes, the song would sync properly.
    5. If I moved the song to a different directory without changing the file name, remapped the song within iTunes, moved the file BACK to the original directory, remapped the song again, the song would sync properly.
    6. If I renamed the file and then named it back to the original file name WITHOUT remapping the file location in iTunes, the song would still not sync properly
    7. If I moved the file into a different directory and then back again without remapping the file location, the song would still not sync properly.
    8. Changing or deleting the tags has no effect at all.
    9. File name lengths are already under 200 characters and there are no special characters used.
    So, to sum up, I have found out a way to fix the issue. The problem is, that there are hundreds of songs that appear to be affected and renaming or moving every single one individually and then remapping is extremely inefficient and ignores the cause of the problem. I also did not want to delete the itunes library and then add all of the songs back in because I have many custom playlists that I have spent hours creating and I do not want to delete them.
    Is there a better way to fix the problem? Especially if someone knows the root cause?

    I got a procmon log file and examined it. I have the file and I could also provide you with that or screenshots of it.
    There is nothing unusual about it. I can see entires in which CR has successfully opened the report and has cached in a c:\windows\temp.
    However there is one or two non-successful entries that may be related, especially that examining the stack trace brings us to a call to get_ProductLocaleID():
    - A call to read reg entry HKU\S-1-5-20\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\Locale fails with NAME NOT FOUND.
    - immediately after that and from the same process (w3wp.ex) there is a call to open directory "c:\" which is logged as ACCESS DENIED.
    Any subsequent unsuccessful calls seem to be results of exception handling in the debug code.
    Does this point to any setup issues with CR? We always run the redistributable x86 runtime when installing it.

  • Camera raw 8.3.0.141 truncates file names

    This is a recent thing.
    I open jpg images from bridge cs6 into camera raw and save new versions from camera raw into a new folder.
    Our incoming file names contain important data but not all of the name is written when I save jpg from camera raw.
    file name length seems to max out at 60 characters or so.
    THIS WAS NOT THE CASE SOME MONTHS AGO IN THIS MACHINE.
    Our folder names are long also but the combined path + filename length  rarely exceed 230 characters.
    Our file naming system has worked for some years and photoshop does not truncate file names, only this latest camera raw.
    This is on win 7  64 bit pro machine - our filenames do not need to be compatible with anything else whatever.
    example of our file/folder naming lenghts on my win machine:
    C:\AAliikkeet\02 xxxx oierjksinth\112255_ehhsyag somajrysen fgetrakunnan paievjerho_CO_10022014_til.73673\vlc\nietalahtn, naurvkustunr_bbseh syplamaiden syrdknhhar prifakehfo_IMG2722korjattu_cpy004_5000_02.jpg
    the real names have been replaced with strings of corrensponding length so this long baby represents a long(ish) folder+filename combo in our systems.
    This is a major new problem.
    Any help appreciated - even the good old "use shorter file names, idiot" but that is not an option for me.
    We are working in an industrial environment and systems  - including file naming have been working OK for some years and I cannot change our systems just to please my latest camera raw.

    Thank you for your kind advice and interest in my problem.
    I tested:
    c:\in\v  -folder is the one that jpg is read
    c:\in\vlc is folder that the camera raw saves jpg
    original file name was:
    HIETALAHTI, TENAVAMUSKARI_VAASAN SUOMALAISEN SEURAKUNNAN PÄIVÄKERHO_cpy004_5000_02.jpg
    it is truncated into:
    HIETALAHTI, TENAVAMUSKARI_VAASAN SUOMALAISEN SEURAKUNNAN P.jpg
    I shortened the original file name and removed the scandinavian A with dots on top of it and the comma from ther file name:
    HIETALAHTI TENAVAMUSK_VAASAN SUOMAL SRK PAIVAKERHO_cpy004_5000_02.jpg
    truncates to:
    HIETALAHTI TENAVAMUSK_VAASAN SUOMAL SRK PAIVAKERHO_cpy004_5.jpg
    the scandinavian alphabet is not a problem (the file names are not always clipped in their position).but causes some extra truncating:
    HIETALAHTI-TENAVAMUSKARI_VAASAN SUOMALAINEN PÄIVÄKERHO_CPY00.jpg turns into:
    HIETALAHTI-TENAVAMUSKARI_VAASAN SUOMALAINEN PÄIVÄKERHO_CP.jpg
    and
    HIETALAHTI-TENAVAMUSKARI_VAASAN SUOMALAINEN PÄIVÄKERHO_CPY0.jpg into same
    HIETALAHTI-TENAVAMUSKARI_VAASAN SUOMALAINEN PÄIVÄKERHO_CP.jpg
    This is why I havent found a good rule in this.
    In camera raw the whole file name shows under the preview image but  in saving the image the file naming example is truncated.
    Even the longest of our file names worked flawlessly  for several years until maybe two weeks ago.
    60 characters is top length that did not truncate in this testing

  • Missing Breadcrumbs Caused by Similar File Names

    Using RH9

    But when I changed the file name of the parent topic from General_Ledger_Options.htm to GenLdgrOpt.htm, the breadcrumbs appeared correctly in the output for the parent and child topics.
    This stragegy for fixing the breadcrumb problem seems to be hit-or-miss. For example, I've tried the same approach to fix another topic and have had no success so far. Is there anything about how breadcrumbs are generated that would explain how renaming the file would fix the problem?

    Rick,
    I think you are right about the file name length being an important factor, but the cause doesn't seem to be as simple as a too-deep nesting level. I was able to fix the problem in another topic by shortening the file name of the topic that preceded it at the same level.
    The one hard case that remains is a topic that contains a lot of bookmarked subheadings. I found that if I cut that topic's number of subheading TOC entries to 33, the breadcrumbs for the topic worked, but with 34 TOC entries, they did not. My best guess is that there is a limitation of some kind on the internal aggregation of TOC information -- including information about siblings and children.
    By the way, I also tried inserting breadcrumb placeholders, instead of automatically generating them. That caused RoboHelp to crash (instead of just failing to add breadcrumbs to the offending topic). When I removed the placeholder from the bad topic, it worked OK with the other topics.
