Open dataset filename for output in text mode encoding default

Hi,
When I excute this command I get a sy-subrc = 0, but no file is created. This happens in an ECC 6.0 system. In 4.6C works ok.
filename has the following structure '
server\directory\filename'
What am I doing wrong??
Thank you very much for your your help.
Regards.

Hi,
Can u tell what syntax u have written for open statement.
In programs with active Unicode check, you must specify the access type (such as ... FOR INPUT, ... FOR OUTPUT, and so on) and the mode (such as ... IN TEXT MODE, ... IN BINARY MODE, and so on). If the file is opened using ... IN TEXT MODE, you must still use the addition ... ENCODING. If the Unicode check is enabled, it is possible to use file names containing blanks.

OPEN DATASET file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE

Hi There,
I also have the similar issue. I am able to write the data into appliaction server in Chinese Characters using :OPEN DATASET datei FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT or OPEN DATASET datei FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8. But when i save that file into my presentation server manually, all the chinese characters are showing as Junk.
When i use OPEN DATASET datei FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE, giving runtime error and when i use OPEN DATASET datei FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS, No error but application server output itself showing as Junk characters.
Could you please suggest me what you have done?

Hi,
Use this
OPEN DATASET File_path FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE
WITH SMART LINEFEED
it will definitely work.

OPEN DATASET FILENAME FOR OUTPUT.

HI,
While doing unicode enable inECC6.0 FOLLOWING ERROR IS COMING.hOW IT WILL BE RESOLVED.
oPEN DATASET physname FOR OUTPUT.

Hello,
For opendataset u need to add the below coding.
open dataset 'filename' for output in text mode encoding default. ( Based on ur filetype)
binary mode encoding default
if it not a unicode system then non unicoding must be added.
N.B
In the Transfer stmt the data types apart from CNDT will result dump.
So please ensure that all are of CNDT types.

Problem writing file ANSI to UTF-8. OPEN DATASET FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE

Hello everybody,
My report needs to create a file in ANSI so I am using this sentence: * "OPEN DATASET p_dir_a FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT."* almost all charters in the file are well generating excepting for this two: ( Á ) & ( Í ) because SAP assigns the same code to both characters ( Ã? ) = 'xC3' which is not correct, the right code should be ( Á ) = 'xC1' ( Í ) = 'xCD' respectively
from this string = ( ÁÉÍÓÚáéíóúàèìòùÀÈÌÒÙ ) only those two characters are wrong converted.
Also I tray to catch a conversion error with this sentence:
          TRY.
            TRANSFER <field> TO p_dir_a NO END OF LINE.
          CATCH cx_sy_conversion_codepage.
            MESSAGE 'error' type 'I'.
        ENDTRY.
but never enters in it.
Does anyone know where I can configure SAP to SET this value correctly?
Thanks for your help.

was a server problem, not SAP

Difference between IN LEGACY TEXT MODE & TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE

Hi,
We're upgrading to ECC5 and the 'open dataset' command needs amending if the program is flagged for Unicode (which usually occurrs in user/fm exits). Therefore is ECC5 this command is no longer valid:
"open dataset DSN in text mode"
We currently interface with systems that may not have unicode enabled. Yet we have not enabled unicode in our own system just yet.
So we think these two commands are the most approriate for replacing the 'old' open dataset command:
"open dataset DSN for input in TEXT MODE encoding NON-UNICODE"
"open dataset DSN in LEGACY TEXT MODE for input"
However we're not really sure what the difference between these two commands is?
Has anyone worked with these commands?
Could you offer some help as to their differences and when each should be used?
Many thanks!

Hi Robert,
   Here is an excerpt from sap documentation.
... TEXT MODE ENCODING {DEFAULT|UTF-8|NON-UNICODE}
Effect:
The addition IN TEXT MODE opens the file as a text file. The addition ENCODING defines how the characters are represented in the text file. When writing in a text file, the content of a data object is converted to the representation entered after ENCODING, and transferred to the file. If the data type is character-type and flat, trailing blanks are cut off. In the data type string, trailing blanks are not cut off. The end-of-line marking of the relevant platform is applied to the transferred data by default. When reading from a text file, the content of the file is read until the next end-of-line marking, converted from the format specified after ENCODING into the current character format, and transferred to a data object.
The end-of-line marking depends on the operating system of the application server. In the MS Windows operating systems, the markings "CRLF" and " LF" are possible, while under Unix, only "LF" is used. If, when using Windows, an existing file is opened without the TYPE addition (see os_addition), the first end-of-line marking is found and used for the whole file. If a new file is created without the TYPE addition, the content of the profile parameter abap/NTfmode is used. If the profile parameter is not set, "CRLF" is used. If a file with the TYPE addition is opened and a valid value is contained in attr, this value is used.
In Unicode programs, only the content of character-type data objects can be transferred to text files and read from text files. The addition ENCODING must be specified in Unicode programs, and can only be omitted in non-Unicode programs.
The additions after ENCODING determine in which character representation the content of the file is handled.
DEFAULT
In a Unicode system, the designation DEFAULT corresponds to the designation UTF-8, and the designation NON-UNICODE in a non-Unicode system.
UTF-8
The characters in the file are handled according to the Unicode character representation UTF-8.
NON-UNICODE
In a non-Unicode system, the data is read or written without being converted. In a Unicode system,the characters in the file are handled according to the non-Unicode-codepage that would be assigned to the current text environment according to the database table TCP0C, at the time of reading or writing in a non-Unicode system.
If the addition ENCODING is not specified in non-Unicode programs, the addition NON-UNICODE is used implicitly.
... LEGACY TEXT MODE [{BIG|LITTLE} ENDIAN] [CODE PAGE cp]
Effect:
Opening a Legacyfile. The addition IN LEGACY TEXT MODE opens the file as a legacy text file. As with legacy binary files, the byte order and the codepage with which the content of the file should be handled can also be specified. The syntax and meaning of {BIG|LITTLE} ENDIAN and CODE PAGE cp are the same as for legacy binary files.
In contrast to legacy binary files, the trailing blanks in a legacy file are cut off when writing character-type flat data objects in a legacy text file. As for a text file, an end-of-line marking is also applied to the transferred data. In contrast to text files opened with the addition INTEXT MODE, Unicode programs do not check whether the data objects used for reading or writing are character-type. Furthermore, the LENGTH additions of the statements READ DATASET and TRANSFER are used for counting in bytes in legacy text files and in the units of a character represented in the memory for text files.
Note:
As with legacy binary files, text files that have been written in a non-Unicode system can be accessed in Unicode systems as legacy text files, and the content is converted accordingly.
Example
A file test.dat is created as a text file, filled with data, changed, and exported. As every TRANSFER statement applies end-of-line marking to written content, after the change, the content of the file has two lines. The first line contains "12ABCD". The second line contains "890". The character "7" has been overwritten by the end-of-line marking of the first line.
DATA: file   TYPE string VALUE `test.dat`,
      result TYPE string.
OPEN DATASET file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
TRANSFER `1234567890` TO file.
CLOSE DATASET file.
OPEN DATASET file FOR UPDATE IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT
                             AT POSITION 2.
TRANSFER `ABCD` TO file.
CLOSE DATASET file.
OPEN DATASET file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
WHILE sy-subrc = 0.
READ DATASET file INTO result.
WRITE / result.
ENDWHILE.
CLOSE DATASET file.

Ravi

OPEN DATASET FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE - linesize issue

Hi,
I faced a problem when opened ANSI file with CYRILLIC in ECC 6.0 Unicode system - the system cuts the line to 250 characters. Below is snip of code:
REPORT Z_TEST_01 LINE-SIZE 1023.
DATA:
file TYPE char40 VALUE 'ansi_file.txt',
line TYPE char1024, len TYPE i.
OPEN DATASET file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
WHILE sy-subrc = 0.
      READ DATASET file INTO line ACTUAL LENGTH len.
        WRITE: / len, line.
ENDWHILE.
CLOSE DATASET file.
In this case, variable LEN always get value 250. File-content is correctly converted from ANSI and all CYRILLIC is displayed to the screen. I changed type for LINE - initialy the type was STRING, actially.
Further, tried to open it in BINARY - like this:
DATA:
file TYPE char40 VALUE 'ansi_file.txt',
line TYPE char1024, len TYPE i.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <hex_container> TYPE x.
OPEN DATASET file FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
ASSIGN line TO <hex_container> CASTING.
DO.
READ DATASET file INTO <hex_container>.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
    WRITE: / line.
ELSE.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
CLOSE DATASET file.
WRITE: / line.
In this case I got bigger linesize (obviously 1024), but faced conversion issues - the file contains some CYRILLIC and it is messed. Played for few hours with conversions - using additions: IN LEGACY BINARY MODE... BIG/LITTLE ENDIAN, CODE PAGE... without success. So decided to ask...
Well, I searched SDN for a similar issue, but didn't found, except this one:
Re: OPEN DATASET STRING Problem
Could someone points me what am I doing wrong? How can I read my ANSI file with line-size more than 250 chars? Actually, in my case line size may vary up to 1800 chars. Further, afrer conversion and some validation, I should save it back to the AS.
Many thans in advance.

Open dataset (UNICODE) for english en polish characters

Hi,
I have a problem on my multi language project on where I need to manage English language and polish language.
I have a table (that we can call TABLE) I manage the translation on it. When I am connected in English I can see some squares instead some polishes characters. When I am connected in polish, I have the right characters. Any way I don’t think it’s a problem, cause if I copy/paste the square on Word, I find back the corrects characters.
My problem is after.
I have a structure with the collon name and an internal table with data.
I use the module function DDIF_TABL_GET on my table TABLE to have the collon name corresponding to the language wanted.
I am building a string with that and some carry return.
(Here in English I have again some square, but always the good character if I paste it on Words.)
Now I would like to put this string in a file using the good encoding.
I have tried lot of ‘opening dataset’ and lot of ‘encoding’.
I have a file on SAP (transaction FILE)
(Here in English I have again some square, but always the good character if I paste it on Words.)
If I download this file on my computer, I have wrong characters.
Could I have help?
My wrong code:
OPEN DATASET lv_filename FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8.
TRANSFER u_contenu TO lv_filename.
CLOSE DATASET lv_filename.

Use this

Mode encoding default

Hi.
I am using the next code to move a file into a internal table.
Apertura de fichero para lectura
OPEN DATASET f_entrada FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
    DO.
Lectura del fichero
      READ DATASET f_entrada INTO linea_datos-linea.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
        APPEND linea_datos.
      ELSE.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
    ENDDO.
ENDIF.
Cierro el fichero
CLOSE DATASET f_entrada.
The file contains special characters as : Bº   or Irún .
Any mode to open the file that accept this characters, with the preview code produce a error:
At the conversion of a text from codepage '4110' to codepage '4103':
- a character was found that cannot be displayed in one of the two
codepages;
- or it was detected that this conversion is not supported
The running ABAP program 'ZPRFUNSD05' had to be terminated as the conversion
would have produced incorrect data.
The number of characters that could not be displayed (and therefore not
be converted), is 1. If this number is 0, the second error case, as
mentioned above, has occurred.
Thanks.

Hi,
Please change the statement as follows:-
OPEN DATASET f_entrada FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT <b>IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS</b>.

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.
                                                                                IF LIN EQ 0.
         EXIT.
       ELSE.
         LOOP AT XML_TAB.
           TRANSFER XML_TAB TO P_APPFIL.
         ENDLOOP.
       ENDIF.
                                                                                CLOSE DATASET P_APPFIL.
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.
           <b>CLEAR XML_TAB.</b>
         ENDLOOP.
       ENDIF.

Setting up FileName for Output file in SendPort

Hi - I have a requirement setting up FileName in output file. For instance say, whatever I receive in the 'FathersName' field that Output File should be with that File Name.
For e.g. if data received in FathersName field is JOHN, output file name should be JOHN.xml
I am using File Adapters on Receive and send side.
Can this be achieved just by Messaging Scenario or do I need to implement this using Orchestration ?
If so, please advise on how to do this ?
e.
MBH

To achieve this, you will have to set your filename value on one of the Context Properties available as a File Adapter macro. For example FILE.ReceivedFileName is mapped to the %SourceFileName% macro.
You have several options to do this:
Set FILE.ReceivedFileName in an Orchestration. It does not have to be Promoted.
Write the Property ReceivedFileName in namespace
http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/file-properties in a Custom Pipeline Component.
If FathersName can be used in the file name unmodified, you set FathersName as a Promoted Property on the schema and Promote directly to FILE.ReceivedFileName.
For 1 & 2, you will have to extract FathersName somehow, such as a distinguished field.
A Custom Pipeline Component or direct Promotion are the only way to achieve this in Messaging only.

Open dataset filename length.

Hi all,
Could any one help me regarding opendataset.
i am creating files on app server using open dataset.
for one program the code i have written is working.
and for another the file is not getting created.
my doubt is is ther any restriction with file name length while using open dataset.
regards,
Murali.

Hi Murali,
There is no such restriction on file length ...but you may not be able to view the contents in one line ...but on downloading the data on to presentation layer via CG3Y you can view the entire record ...

Customized filename for output

Hi,
Is there someway to set the filename of an outgoing file adapter based on the contents of the file? We're processing invoices and would like to include the invoicenumber in the file containing the invoice ( each file can only contain exactly one invoice ).
Thanks in advance
Thomas

I use the following code in the xsl to create a custom filename:
<xsl:variable name="HR_ID"
select='/imp1:verstuurPlaatsingRequest/imp1:PlaatsingCompleet/ns1:StaffingAction/ns1:ReferenceInformation/ns1:HumanResourceId[@idOwner="StaffingCompany"]/ns1:IdValue[@name="id"]'/>
<xsl:variable name="FILENAME"
select="concat('albronuit_', kim:getCurrentDateTime('yyyyMMddHHmmssSSS'),'_', $HR_ID, '.xml')"/>
<xsl:variable name="SET_FILENAME_OUT"
select="ehdr:setOutboundHeader('/fhdr:OutboundFtpHeaderType/fhdr :fileName', $FILENAME, 'fhdr=http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/ftp/;')"/>
The first step takes the id from my input xml, the second creates the filename and the third passes this filename to the outboundheader.

How to use relative DSN filename for connection (in Design mode)

Hello,
I connect Crystal Reports to Oracle database via ODBC with connection information stored in DSN file.
I use "Crystal Reports Basic" in Visual Studio 2008 SP1. CR has no SP. Windows XP Pro SP3, my development machine.
I created a DSN file, and in Database Expert I'm creating a new ODBC connection and trying to fill the File DSN.
But, the file name is absolute, and I need to use file name relative to the report file, because I want several programmers and several reports to share the connection parameters. This would also simplify the deployment.
When I try to copy the DSN file to the solution folder and use just the relative path, then a error is reported:
Logon failed.
Details: HY000 General Error: Invalid file DSN
which probably means that the file could not be found.
This problem does not exist in runtime, as the connection string could be set programmaticaly.
Does Crystal Reports accept relative DNS file name?
If does not, are there any other possibilites to achieve this?

If still an issue post your question the .NET SDK forum.

Variable filename for output

Hey all,
I want to have the file I spool to in a sql script to change depending on the database I'm connecting to, but am unsure how to accomplish this. Can this be done? Can someone provide an example?

I'd like for new finder windows to open full-screen by default.
I have found that, if I have no finder windows open, opening a new finder window always defaults to a non-full-screen window.
Is there a way to fix this?
