Need help in laoding flat file data, which has \r at the end of a string

Hi There,
Need help in loading flat file data, which has \r at the end of a string.
I have a flat file with three columns. In the data, at the end of second column it has \r. So because of this the control is going to the beginning of next line. And the rest of the line is loading into the next line.
Can someone pls help me to remove escape character \r from the data?
thanks,
rag

Have you looked into the sed linux command? here are some details:
When working with txt files or with the shell in general it is sometimes necessary to replace certain chars in existing files. In that cases sed can come in handy:
1 sed -i 's/foo/bar/g' FILENAME
The -i option makes sure that the changes are saved in the new file – in case you are not sure that sed will work as you expect it you should use it without the option but provide an output filename. The s is for search, the foo is the pattern you are searching the file for, bar is the replacement string and the g flag makes sure that all hits on each line are replaced, not just the first one.
If you have to replace special characters like a dot or a comma, they have to be entered with a backslash to make clear that you mean the chars, not some control command:
1 sed -i 's/./,/g' *txt
Sed should be available on every standard installation of any distribution. At lesat on Fedora it is even required by core system parts like udev.
If this helps, mark as correct or helpful.

HI....Need help to enable my3G iPhone which has been disabled due to forgotten passcode.Thank you

If you forgot your passcode, restore the phone on the last computer it was synced with. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode and restore as a new device. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

In the flat file (excel sheet saved as a CSV file), for each row of the data, there are two fields which are start_date and end_date and the date format is MM/DD/YYYY and in the Transfer Rule, we transfer the date format from MM/DD/YYYY to YYYYMMDD which is required by DATS InfoObject type in BW. If you need the excel sheet of data in order to answer our questions about the above errors, you can give us your e-mail address and we can send the simple two rows of data excel sheet file to you.
Thanks!

Hi Kevin,
1.You can use lowercase letters in the values for your characteristics provided you have checked the lowercase checkbox in the general tab page of Create characteristic screen.But when you do so no masterdata tables,text tables, or another level of attributes underneath are allowed.
OR
Use only upper case letters in your characteristic unchecking the above mentioned box.
2.The date format in the CSV file should be yyyymmdd.It should have 8 characters . I guess there is something strange in your "calendardays" since I could not find 8 characters irrespective of the order.Do not forget to use zeroes.
Hope this works.
Reward if it is helpful.

In LSMW flat file date format to be converted to user profile date setting.

hi all,
i got a flat file in which date is in mm/dd/yyyy format.i converted the data using lsmw but this conversion is valid only if user has set his date profile as mm/dd/yyyy in his user profile setting->own data. now if user has some other setting then it will give error. so how to convert date and how to do mapping with same . please help.

Sunil,
use below fm to get current user date format:

Flat file data load - ODS - Look up data in Startroutine

Hi All,
There is a requirement that I have two ODS say 1) ABC and XYZ.
For Both ODS , We load flat file data.
First we load data to ABC for current fiscal period
During the data load to XYZ, We lookup part nos data in ABC for current fiscal period , if data there , for those part nos we load XYZ Flat file data.
My requirement is that , I need to fetch part nos data from ABC for Fiscal period < current fisacl period. Then I need to extract already loaded data for those part nos from XYZ and Mark the flag field as Non reportable .
How can we achieve this ?
Please advice
Thanks
Ajay

Hi ,
Thanks for your reply.
I have done so. When I add lines of My Internal table data to DATA_PACKAGE, It gives the syntax error that both structures are not unique. We have several fields in XYZ ods but they are not in Communication structure.
Thats the problem. Also , if I write the code , will it be executed for each datapackage. I mean , for each datapacket process , my code will fetch whole data from ABC and then from XYZ. Repetion will be there?
Any other logic can i use ?
Thanks
Ajay

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

You mean an image such as a scanned document?
If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat.

How to Merge Flat file data and DSO Data

I have one DSO A which has more than 20 objects (5 of them are keys), which include 0comp_code,0gl_account,. I have a Flat file which has the following fields ,COMPANY CODE, GLACCOUNT and SUPERVISOR ,EXECUTIVE,ANALYST. My requirement is to get a DSO with consolidated data from DSO A and Flat File data. That means for exapme, In my DSO A , I have US01 COMPANY CODE so when I merge the data in DSO C It should diplay the data for the supervisor exe and analyst for DSO A as well
When I added with 2 DSOs A (ECC ) and B (Flat file)..C is getting the data from B and its appending the data for Flat file at the end...So I want to merge both...DSO A should match up with DSO B flat file company code and gl account and should display the remaining fields
I think its clear..Can any one let me know the solution ASAP...
Note: We are on BI7.0 not 3.5...
Thanks in advance

I have the following key fields in DSO A :
0COMP_CODE,OGL_ACCOUNT, 0CHRT_ACCT,0FISCVARNT,0FISCPER,0AC_DOC_NUMBER,0ITEM_NUM.
Here are the total fields in Flat File:
COMPANY CODE,GL ACCOUNT,SUPERVISOR,ANALYST,EXECUTIVE.
Here am taking 0COMP_CODE and 0GL_ACCOUNT as key fileds in DSO B for Flat File...
For every month there will be 5 to 6000 records for Flat file ...
Thanks

Urgent: Transport of Flat File Data Source

While transporting flat file data source is it required to transport first in a separate request or everything can go in 1 request.
Thank you,
sam

Hi,
In this case it can go in one request as no replication is needed. But for other datasources, you need to send the datasources first in a separate request and then replicate the datasource in BW before you send the BW changes.
Cheers,
Kedar

Faisal,
When you read the multiple recordset strucutre file then each record in txt file should have an header from which you can identiy which segment it should go.. and you identiy it by using the keyfiledValue in file adapter
<root>
<header1> 0..1
<f1>
<f2>
<f3>
<header2> 0..1
<f4>
<f5>
<f6>
<item> 1..unbounded
<f7>
<f8>
<f9>
<f10>
<f11>
<f12>
</item>
for this input file
abc def ghi jkl mno pqr
123 123 123 123 123 123
456 456 456 456 456 456
abc def ghi can be read using the file adater to header 1 usinfg key field value, but using the same file adapter you cannt put GHI into header2.
else you should read whole row abc def ghi jkl mno pqr in single filed and write an UDF to split data to header1 and Header 2
similarly you have to take care for item records also
if your inout file is something like this
abc def ghi
jkl mno pqr
123 123 123 123 123 123
456 456 456 456 456 456
abc identifies to Header 1
JKL for Header 2 so on...
read the whole line in single field and write UDF to Split to header 1 and header 2 similary for item.

Hope you can check whether you are loadig the flat file data from application server or Client workstation.
May be if you are loading from Client work station you will face problem of this type.
Try to check if any change in format in the file.

Flat file data loading error using process chain

Hi SAP Experts,
I am having a problem loading the flat file data to the cube using process chain. The issue is that when i run the process chain it fails giving the message " Date format error, please enter the date in the format _.yyyy" . I am using " 0calmonth in the datasource" . Strange is that when i manually execute the infopackage, i dont get any errors and am able to load the same file successfully to the dso and the cube. Is there any special setting for the process chain that i am missing?
The date format in the flat file is mm/yyyy. I have tried all the options i could including recreating the datasource and invain dont see any success so far. please help me solving this problem as we r in the middle of testing cycle.
Thanking you all for your quick response and support all the time.
Kind Regards,
Sanjeev

Hi Sanjeev,
I believe you are opening the .csv file again after saving it. In this case the initial 0 in single digit month (say 02/2010) is getting changed to 2/2010 and the resulting file is not readable to the system. Just do not open the file after you have entered data in the .csv file and saved and closed it. If required, open the file in notepad, but not in excel in case you want to re-check the data.
Hope this helps.
regards,
biplab

Splitting flat file data

I want to store the flat file data for temporary purpose and as a backup also, but its size is so huge that processing them at one instance is a difficult task.
