Need to place a pipe | delimiter in extract

I am using Crystal 11, and need to know if there is a way to place a pipe | delimiter between each field. I am pulling data from one application to another, and the receiving analyst has requested a pipe between each field. I know I can export the report to .csv however, he has requested a pipe.
Please advise
Thanks
Jack

You can try exporting to .csv by using pipe symbol as delimeter in the export options.

Help needed in extracting pipe delimited fields in a CLOB data type

hi
i Had a table with clob field as shown below.
CREATE TABLE TRANSACTION_INFO
TRASACTION_ID CLOB,
LOG_ID NUMBER
Insert into TRANSACTION_INFO
   (TRASACTION_ID, LOG_ID)
Values
   ('354502002020910|000000610214609663||09/27/09 08:02:37|RNEW|DC25|MOTOROLA|8802939198', 123);
Insert into TRANSACTION_INFO
   (TRASACTION_ID, LOG_ID)
Values
   ('354599892020910|000000610214609663||09/27/10 08:12:47|SOLD|DC23||8802939198', 456);
COMMIT;As you can see Clob field is a pipe delimited data.Now i am able to extract the first two fields using the below querry.But it may be the right solution as
substring function fails if there is missing character in any on the fields.
Also when there is a null value in any of the fields,how can i be able to get as null value ? Basically i want to get the values in a delimited manner.
how can we do this ?
Select Substr (TRASACTION_ID, 1, Instr (TRASACTION_ID, '|')-1) field1,
        Substr (TRASACTION_ID, 17, Instr (TRASACTION_ID, '|')+2) field2
From TRANSACTION_INFO;
output should be like as shown
   FIELD1          FIELD2          FEILD3                 FEILD4
354502002020910     000000610214609663                  09/27/09 08:02:37

hi Michael
Thanks for the solution and its my bad not mention that there is a possibility of having a null value at the start of the record also which RPLACE function no longer works for this case.
For example
with transaction_info (trasaction_id, log_id)
     as (
select '354502002020910|000000610214609663||09/27/09 08:02:37|RNEW|DC25|MOTOROLA|8802939198', 123 from dual union all

Extract data from Pipe Delimited file

Hi everybody,
Could someone provide me the command to extract data from a pipe delimited file ("|") using Open/Read Data set.
I mean eliminating the delimiter ("|") and just picking the data.
Thanks

Here you go.. this code snippet parses the input file record by using pipe (variable lv_pipe) as separator, for tab separated file you can use lv_tab like wise...
TYPES: BEGIN OF ts_field,
           field(50) TYPE c,
         END OF ts_field,
         tt_field TYPE TABLE OF ts_field.
   DATA: ls_record TYPE string,
        ls_input_data TYPE ts_input_data,
        lv_tab TYPE x VALUE '09',
        lv_pipe TYPE C VALUE '|',
        ls_field TYPE ts_field,
        lt_field_tab TYPE tt_field,
        lv_field_index TYPE syindex,
        lv_record_no TYPE syindex.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_field> TYPE ANY.
OPEN DATASET fv_file_path IN TEXT MODE FOR INPUT.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
    DO.
      lv_record_no = lv_record_no + 1.
      READ DATASET fv_file_path INTO ls_record.
      IF sy-subrc NE 0.
        EXIT.
      ELSE.
        SPLIT ls_record AT lv_pipe INTO TABLE lt_field_tab.
        CLEAR: lv_field_index, ls_input_data.
        LOOP AT lt_field_tab INTO ls_field.
          lv_field_index = lv_field_index + 1.
          ASSIGN COMPONENT lv_field_index OF STRUCTURE
            ls_input_data TO <fs_field>.
          IF sy-subrc = 0.
            <fs_field> = ls_field-field.
          ENDIF.
        ENDLOOP.

XML Column from table extract to Pipe Delimited Text File

Hi,
I have an XML column with large data in a Table ( Source SQL server Database).
I was asked to extract XML column to .txt file using SSIS.
Is it possible to extract xml column with huge data to text file ?
when I tried, select XML column from Table in source , I noticed that Property of column is taken as [DT_NTEXT] . I Converted it to DT_TEXT as Ansi donot support DT_NTEXT.
Execution method was success but it failed due to trucation. so wondering is there a way to get XML column extracted to Pipe delimited text file?
Is it advisable to do this ? or IS It Valid to export XML in Pipe Delimited File ?
Please Kindly advice
thanks
kodi

Are you looking at shredding data within XML nodes and then importing it to text file or are you looking at exporting XML value as is? Also is SSIS a necessity?
If not, You can simply use T-SQL for this along with bcp for this. just use a query like
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'bcp "SELECT CAST(XMLColumn AS varchar(max)) AS Column FROM table" queryout <full file path> -c -S <ServerName> -T -t |'
provided you use trusted connection (windows authentication)
see
http://visakhm.blogspot.in/2013/10/bcp-out-custom-format-data-to-flat-file.html
If you want to shred the data use Xpath functions in the query as below

Dynamic Extract. Do Not Want Leading Zeros in Pipe Delimited Record

Greetings,
I am using the following code to create a pipe delimited extract file dynamically. The problem: leading zeros are being lost. For example, when I do an extract of BKPF, BELNR is appended to the extract without leading zeros. This is a problem. Any suggestions for resolving this?

      APPEND ls_data TO ct_data.

Your response is greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Jason

You are losing it because of the write statement, change it to a move. I assume you are using the WRITE to put the correct formatting for a date field or a type P field, if that is the case, you can try to check which field is being written at the time by check sy-index or checking the type at runtime.
*WRITE: <lfv> TO lv_data.
move <lfv> to lv_data.
        IF ls_data IS NOT INITIAL.
*LEADING ZEROS ARE LOST HERE (at conatenate)
          CONCATENATE ls_data lv_data INTO ls_data
                                      SEPARATED BY '|'.
        ELSE.
          ls_data = lv_data.

          MOVE <FS> TO L_FLINE.
        ELSEIF <FS> NE C_PIPE.
          CONCATENATE L_FLINE C_PIPE <FS> INTO L_FLINE.
        ELSE.
          CONCATENATE L_FLINE <FS> INTO L_FLINE.
        ENDIF.
      ELSE.
        TRANSFER L_FLINE TO W_SRVR_NM_O_O1.

File content conversion for Pipe delimited file

Hi
i have a scenario ( file-xi-proxy) in whch file is coming in a pipe delimited.
my data type is like
DT_ XXXXX
AwardInfo
Header contains some fileds
DetailRecord contains some fileds
trailer contains some fields
what are content conversion parameters i have to use
venkat

Sedamkar,
Expecting you have one header, multiple details and one trailer then give recordset structure in sender file communication channel as:
Header,1,DetailRecord ,*,trailer,1
In content conversion you should give parameters:
Header.fieldSeparator : |
Header.endSeparator : 'nl'
DetailRecord.fieldSeparator : |
DetailRecord.endSeparator : 'nl'
trailer.fieldSeparator : |
trailer.endSeparator : 'nl'
You may need to change the parameters also according to your strcuture and the file layout. See this SAP help for file content conversion:

READ THE PIPE DELIMITER FILE

Hi guys,
I am uploading the data from a file which is in the application server and in pipe delimiter format.
This file in the format like .... let us take 100 records among those one record is header, 98 data records and one trailer record. These are seperated by the record locater like header with 0, data record with 1 and trailer with 9.
So what i am doing is uploading that file first of all into one internal table I_ARFILE, then splitting the data at pipe into 3 different internal tables. In the mean time I am doing the validations also for the number of records...
like there should not be more than one header, and one trailer........

In this code something wrong like....
I have to modify this code so that i can split the file based on the record indicator to different internal tables.
if you see my code I am going wrong after i split the data into header internal table... did the validations then I put the else condition and split the same record again into 2nd internal table. But I have to take the second record once the first one is filled..........
Can any one guide me how to do that plz...... I am bit confused with this
SRI

Hi,

SSIS question - Email the results of the table in pipe delimited format to the users

I am new to SSIS and I have a requirement. I have a sales table that has transactions for all months. I am trying to automate the process which involves following steps:
I need to query the table based on previous month.
Email the results of the table in pipe delimited format to the users.
What I am currently doing:
I created a temp table and load the query results in it every month by truncating the previous month’s data. Saved the query results in excel format. Open the excel and save it in csv format. Use SSIS package to convert csv to txt format and email
them manually with the txt file name as “Salesresults_<previousmonth>.
I just want to automate this process but the main challenge comes up with email with txt attached. Please help me out.

First create a SSIS variable(@[User::Path]) that store folder path as "C:\Test".
Select the "Expression" tab in Send Mail Task Editor and select the appropriate property(FileAttachments) and assign the below expression.
@[User::Path] + "\\Salesresults_" + (DT_WSTR, 10) MONTH( GETDATE() ) + (DT_WSTR, 10) YEAR( GETDATE() ) + ".txt"

FCC for Broken pipe delimited file

Hi Fellow SDNer's
I have a broken pipe delimited flat file . I want to do file content conversion for the same .
Can you please help me with the parameters
I am on PO 7.4 dual stack
Thanks
Ninad Sane

Hi Ninad
It looks like the broken pipe character is outside the US-ASCII character set.
ASCII Code - The extended ASCII table
You can try using the ASCII character to see if it works or not:-
Header.fieldSeparator = '0xA6'
Check also the following thread that mentions the use of non US-ASCII character.
Content conversion - endSeparator and fieldSeparator with unusual separators
In particular, it mentions OSS note 1936206 - if you have the corrections in place, you can try using MessageTransformBean and specifying the encoding with the following additional parameter.
xml.fieldSeparator.encoding=ISO-8859-1

Java Regex Pipe Delimited ?

Hello
I am trying to split the string which is pipe delimited. I am new to Regex and new to Java.
My Java/Regex code line to split is:
listColumns = aLine.split("\\|"); // my code has 2 backslash-escapes chars plus 1 pipe char but this forum does not allow me to put pipes or escapes correctly and plain text help is of NO HELP 8^(
My input string has 3 leading and 4 trailing pipe characters
My Output from split: (3 leading emptry strings work but 4 trailing pipe delimiters dont work)
SplitStrings2:[]
SplitStrings2:[]
SplitStrings2:[]
SplitStrings2:[col1]
SplitStrings2:[col3]
SplitStrings2:[col4]
I do get 3 empty strings for all 3 leading pipes but no empty strings for the any traling 4 pipe characters.
What do I need to change the code such that all repeated pipes resulted in same number of empty strings returned by split method?
thanks
YuriB

1. The pipe is a meta-character so escape it.
2. Split rolls things up for you unless you tell it otherwise.
String s = "|||A|B|C||||";
String[] array = s.split("[|]", 10);
for(int i=0; i < array.length; i++)
System.out.println("" + i + ": " + array);

Need to place a pipe | delimiter in extract
