Open data set problem with binary mode

Hi everyone,
I am trying to read into a buffer the content of a binary file (like Excel) and to write that content file using open data set into a folder destination.
The file destination has a size diferent than from the original one and cannot be open.
Here is the code.
DATA: lv_file_name(100),
         lt_content LIKE sdokcntbin OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
MOVE '\computerTestA1.xls' TO lv_file_name.
OPEN DATASET lv_file_name FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
DO.
    READ DATASET lv_file_name INTO lt_content-line.
    IF sy-subrc NE 0.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
    APPEND lt_content.
ENDDO.
CLOSE DATASET lv_file_name.
* DELETE DATASET lv_file_name.
CLEAR: lv_file_name.
MOVE '\computerTestB2.xls' TO lv_file_name.
OPEN DATASET lv_file_name FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
LOOP AT lt_content.
    TRANSFER lt_content-line TO lv_file_name.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET lv_file_name.
THanks in advance.
Regards.

Hi,
I solve the problem.
In fact, when I try to write the last line of lt_content, it does write all the line even if this line is not full of data.
Solution :
DATA: lv_file_name(100),
         lt_content LIKE sdokcntbin OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,
         alen TYPE i,
         pos TYPE i.
MOVE '\mr0221TestA1.xls' TO lv_file_name.
OPEN DATASET lv_file_name FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
SET DATASET lv_file_name POSITION END OF FILE.
GET DATASET lv_file_name POSITION pos.
SET DATASET lv_file_name POSITION 0.
DO.
    CLEAR lt_content.
    READ DATASET lv_file_name INTO lt_content-line ACTUAL LENGTH alen .
    IF sy-subrc NE 0.
      APPEND lt_content.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
    APPEND lt_content.
ENDDO.
CLOSE DATASET lv_file_name.
* DELETE DATASET lv_file_name.
CLEAR: lv_file_name.
MOVE '\mr0221TestB2.xls' TO lv_file_name.
OPEN DATASET lv_file_name FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
LOOP AT lt_content.
    AT LAST.
      TRANSFER lt_content-line TO lv_file_name LENGTH alen.
      EXIT.
    ENDAT.
    TRANSFER lt_content-line TO lv_file_name.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET lv_file_name.
Thanks.

OPEN DATA SET PROBLEM

Hello ,
I use the command OPEN DATA SET in order to upload file content from server ,
the problem is that i getting error :_No such file or directory ._
the file is exist in server I can see it when i put the path on windows start->run
and i give the permission for the folder to everyone .
1. My question is what i miss here
2. when i do little test and try to use GUI_UPLOAD i see the file content so i don't understand what is wrong here the file is not on my local PC
Regards
James

hi James,
the parameter file_name receives the name of the file (ja, ja, ja.......)
here comes the explanation:
in the transaction FILE you must define phisical and logical path for a file:
for example:
MY_FILE => pointing to the folder /host/temp/
and here comes the call to the function in your program:
CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME_USING_PATH'
    EXPORTING
      client                     = sy-mandt
      logical_path               = l_path    " the name of your logical path defined in trx FILE (MY_FILE)
      file_name                  = p_filename " the name of the file you want to read (for example: file.txt     )
    IMPORTING
      file_name_with_path        = file_trg
    EXCEPTIONS
      path_not_found             = 1
      missing_parameter          = 2
      operating_system_not_found = 3
      file_system_not_found      = 4
      OTHERS                     = 5.
in the variable file_trg you should get the value /host/temp/file.txt (from the example) to do the open dataset.
sorry about my english

XML data set problems with Accordion widget

Hi,
I have a dataset, which returns the data as shown below:
<resultset>
<result>
<title>Title one<b>with parts of the title in
bold</b></title>
<otherAttributes/>
</result>
</resultset>
As you can see, some of the nodes may have markups, such as
<b> etc. I create the XML dataset as:
var myDataset = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("/path/to/my/URL",
"resultset/result");
And in AccordionPanelTab, I use the title property as shown
below.
<div class="AccordionPanelTab">{title}</div>
But this doesn't work. The Tab displays no titles. If I
remove the <b/> in the <title> it works fine as
expected. My problem is, some titles may have additional mark ups
and some may not. How can I handle this problem?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Rag.

Forgot to mention that the data comes from third party
service providers, so I have no control over it. For ex: I cannot
have title in a CDATA section.

Open data set from Text mode to Binary mode

Hello All,
In a program i am using the command
    OPEN DATASET file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE
    ENCODING NON-UNICODE IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS.
Now i want to change this open data set to binary mode. I mean to change the command like below.
OPEN DATASET file FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.
when i do this. the output in the file is totally changing. I mean previously i have some text now i have some diffrent characters.
How can i use this command with out change in the output as previous output. Please tell me the changes and why i have to do.
OPEN DATASET file FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.

Text Mode means that the records in the file have a carriage return marking the end of each record.
Binary Mode means the file is a string of data.
You can't read a text file in BINARY MODE, or a binary file in TEXT MODE.
If you are changing the mode, then you must be supplied with a file in the new mode.

Bad data added in Open Dataset for output in Binary mode

Hello,
I am getting random bad data being added to the end of the file that is created on the file server when I run the Open Dataset for output in Binary mode. This data sometimes looks like information about the Unix file server. If I do the Open Dataset in Text mode, it does not add the extra bad data.
** transfer file to Unix File server
       DATA: LIN TYPE P.
                                                                                OPEN DATASET P_APPFIL FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.
                                                                                DESCRIBE TABLE XML_TAB LINES LIN.

Running the program 2 times with the same variant will give different results.
For example, the data in file should end with </cPedigreeXML> but it added data as shown below:
</cPedigreeXML>8                I   X-UNKNOWN                                                 9                    I   X-UNKNOWN                                                10
            C   X-UNKNOWN
Then, when the program was run again with the same selections, it did not add the erroneous data at the end.
This is a real problem because the bad data that gets added causes the file to error in the application. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob

Hi Bob,
      Use CLEAR statement after TRANSFER statement and check once.
     IF LIN EQ 0.
         EXIT.
       ELSE.
         LOOP AT XML_TAB.
           TRANSFER XML_TAB TO P_APPFIL.

What is open data set and close data set

what is open data set and close data set,
how to use the files in sap directories ?

hi,
Open Dataset is used to read or write on to application server ... other than that i am not sure that there exists any way to do the same ... here is a short description for that
FILE HANDLING IN SAP
Introduction
Files on application server are sequential files.
Files on presentation server / workstation are local files.
A sequential file is also called a dataset.
Handling of Sequential file
Three steps are involved in sequential file handling
OPEN
PROCESS
CLOSE
Here processing of file can be READING a file or WRITING on to a file.
OPEN FILE
Before data can be processed, a file needs to be opened.
After processing file is closed.
Syntax:
OPEN DATASET <file name> FOR {OUTPUT/INPUT/APPENDING}
IN {TEXT/BINARY} MODE
This statement returns SY_SUBRC as 0 for successful opening of file or 8, if unsuccessful.
OUTPUT: Opens the file for writing. If the dataset already exists, this will place the cursor at the start of the dataset, the old contents get deleted at the end of the program or when the CLOSE DATASET is encountered.
INPUT: Opens a file for READ and places the cursor at the beginning of the file.
FOR APPENDING: Opens the file for writing and places the cursor at the end of file. If the file does not exist, it is generated.
BINARY MODE: The READ or TRANSFER will be character wise. Each time n characters are READ or transferred. The next READ or TRANSFER will start from the next character position and not on the next line.
IN TEXT MODE: The READ or TRANSFER will start at the beginning of a new line each time. If for READ, the destination is shorter than the source, it gets truncated. If destination is longer, then it is padded with spaces.
Defaults: If nothing is mentioned, then defaults are FOR INPUT and in BINARY MODE.
PROCESS FILE:
Processing a file involves READing the file or Writing on to file TRANSFER.
TRANSFER Statement
Syntax:
TRANSFER <field> TO <file name>.
<Field> can also be a field string / work area / DDIC structure.
Each transfer statement writes a statement to the dataset. In binary mode, it writes the length of the field to the dataset. In text mode, it writes one line to the dataset.
If the file is not already open, TRANSFER tries to OPEN file FOR OUTPUT (IN BINARY MODE) or using the last OPEN DATASET statement for this file.
IF FILE HANDLING, TRANSFER IS THE ONLY STATEMENT WHICH DOES NOT RETURN SY-SUBRC
READ Statement
Syntax:
READ DATASET <file name> INTO <field>.
<Field> can also be a field string / work area / DDIC structure.
Each READ will get one record from the dataset. In binary mode it reads the length of the field and in text mode it reads each line.
CLOSE FILE:
The program will close all sequential files, which are open at the end of the program. However, it is a good programming practice to explicitly close all the datasets that were opened.
Syntax:
CLOSE DATASET <file name>.
SY-SUBRC will be set to 0 or 8 depending on whether the CLOSE is successful or not.
DELETE FILE:
A dataset can be deleted.
Syntax:
DELETE DATASET <file name>.
SY-SUBRC will be set to 0 or 8 depending on whether the DELETE is successful or not.
Pseudo logic for processing the sequential files:
For reading:
Open dataset for input in a particular mode.
Start DO loop.
Read dataset into a field.
If READ is not successful.
Exit the loop.
Endif.
Do relevant processing for that record.
End the do loop.
Close the dataset.
For writing:
Open dataset for output / Appending in a particular mode.
Populate the field that is to be transferred.
TRANSFER the filed to a dataset.
Close the dataset.

Hi,
Due to serveral reasons
1. Check whether you have proper authority in the directory?
2. check the whether any files with same name?
3. use addition message in the open dataset statement so that you can know the system message it getting.
DATA: msg(100).
OPEN DATASET wa_BSEG_file FOR OUTPUT MESSAGE msg

Open data set / code page

Hello ,
I am sending file to print server and i am accounting problems with special characters
In first version of program ( please see the code below )
"OPEN DATASET g_filename FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT."
The special characters l from German and French   alphabet were NOT printed properly , and we had some nonsense results . Other '"Normal "characters like A , B... are printed without errors .
To prevent this error i wrote new line of code for open data set ( below ).
"OPEN DATASET g_filename FOR OUTPUT IN   LEGACY TEXT MODE CODE PAGE '4110' IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS."
This was working only when FTP was NOT used , when FTP was used i had following short dump.
I am working in SAP release 6.0
Please Advice
SHORT DUMP Message :
What happened?
    The conversion of texts in code page '4102' to code page '4110' is not
    supported here.
    The current ABAP program 'SAPLZPRN_AUTO_LBL' had to be interrupted because
     incorrect
    data would have been created by the conversion.
Error analysis
    An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_CODEPAGE_CONVERTER_INIT', was
     not caught in
    procedure "Z_TRANSFER_FILE" "(FUNCTION)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING
     clause.
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
    exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:
    Possibly, one of the codepages '4102' or '4110' - needed for the
    conversion - is unknown to the system. Another option is, that a Unicode
     codepage was specified for a file in LEGACY MODE, which is not allowed.
    Additional parameters for the codepage conversion (as , for example, the
     replacement character) might have invalid values. You can find further
    information under 'Inernal notes'.
    If the problem occurred at opening, reading, or writing of a file, then
    the file name was '/te/mm/labels/0488_20091208_051317_EC008119_01_001.dd'.
     (Further information about this file: " X ")

Hi,
Also check the character set supported by the Printer. Printer configuration should also be checked on SAP side to determine character set and code page using SPAD.

Nishad

Open Data Set Encoding

Hello all,
Can we specify Encoding in the OPEN DATA SET statement,i found out that we can encode it with UTF-8.
but i want to encode my data in Latin1 ISO-8859-1.
is it possible?
if yes how to do it?
plz help its urgent:(

Hello Surmeet
For me this sounds like that your string contains characters from two different encodings, e.g. ISO-8859-1 and ISO-8859-2.
You could try to use option
OPEN DATASET ... IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS.
Alternatively, you could surround the OPEN DATASET statement with a
TRY.
OPEN DATASET ...
CATCH CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE INTO lo_error.
ld_msg = lo_error->get_text( ). " get the message text
ENDTRY.
block and analyse the error message text. Hopefully you will find some hints to solve the problem.
<i>Note</i>: For details refer to the ABAP keyword documentation of OPEN DATASET.

Uwe

Open Data Set Issue

Hello
How can we set the length of the record size in the open data set. I have like 40 fields of internal table and I need to upload it to Appl server. I could do it but all the fields dont appear. How can set the record size ? Can anyone explain..Thanks

HI Vicky,
doesn't show all fileds: scence in the file?
then either you are not passing the whole data or you are not selecting the whole data to the sending internal table
change your declaration to the string rather than character....
follow the code below:
DATA: filepath TYPE string.
OPEN DATASET filepath FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.
    LOOP AT l_xml_table INTO l_xml_rec.
     TRANSFER your itab TO filepath.
    ENDLOOP.
    CLOSE DATASET filepath.

Pages also moves to space nr 2, but i don't want to move my pages to space nr 2. I guess it is a bug in Pages 09. Thank you for your advice.

Hi There
By the sounds of this behaviour you haven't set any space options for Pages within System Preferences (Expose and Spaces Pane). After experimenting with different options this is what I experience:
1. Pages not listed in application assignment in spaces Preferences - Enter full screen in pages, switch from one space to another pages window will follow and exit fullscreen (this sounds like what you are experiencing).
2. Pages set to every space in app assignment - Enter full screen in pages, switch from one space to another and pages will follow but wont exit full screen.
3. Pages set to a single space in app assignment - Enter full screen in pages, switch from one space to another using control and arrow keys pages will pull me back into the space it is set to and will exit fullscreen. Using the control and number keys pages will stay in its set space but upon returning to that space pages had exited fullscreen.
I suggest you add pages to the the spaces application assignment in System Preferences by clicking the plus arrow under the list of apps and select a specific space for pages to open in, once open Pages will only move from this space if you move it manually.
You can send your feedback to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/pages.html if you wish
Hope this helps
