Hi Dude,
Use encoding default addition in open data set..
Example:
DATA: file   TYPE string VALUE `test.dat`,
          result TYPE string.
OPEN DATASET file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE
                               ENCODING DEFAULT
                               WITH SMART LINEFEED.
TRANSFER `1234567890` TO file.
CLOSE DATASET file.
OPEN DATASET file FOR UPDATE IN TEXT MODE
                               ENCODING DEFAULT
                               WITH SMART LINEFEED
                               AT POSITION 2.
TRANSFER `ABCD` TO file.
CLOSE DATASET file.
OPEN DATASET file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE
                               ENCODING DEFAULT
                               WITH SMART LINEFEED.
WHILE sy-subrc = 0.
READ DATASET file INTO result.
WRITE / result.
ENDWHILE.
CLOSE DATASET file.

Reading any value from table into a string (Especially date etc..)

How would I read any value from a table into a string?
Currently doing the following...
data ret_val type string.
select single (wa_map-qes_field) from z_qekko into ret_val
where
angnr = _angnr.
When the source field is a date it bombs though.
The result goes into a BDCDATA-fval.
regards
Dylan.

Tried...
1 DATA: lp_data TYPE REF TO DATA.
2 FIELD-SYMBOLS: <value> TYPE ANY.
3 CREATE DATA lp_data LIKE (wa_map-qes_field).
4 ASSIGN lp_data->* TO <value>.
5 SELECT SINGLE (wa_map-qes_field) FROM zquadrem_qekko INTO <value> WHERE angnr = _angnr.
Complains that (wa_map-qes_field) is not defined in line 3.
Think that the bracket thing is only available via SQL.
What about CREATE DATA lp_data type ref to object. ?
Would the above declaration work?

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.

Ivaylo Mutafchiev

Sorry for the noise - it is not an issue anymore.

Merging data on a File created by Open Dataset

Hi everyone
I have 11 proxies writing on a FIle created by an Open Dataset (all of the proxies write on the same File).
My customer sent massive messages to those proxies, when the proxies were running and writing on the file they merged the data.
Can someone give me some light on how to prevent that merge without locking the file, cause if I lock the file the process is going to take too much time.
Thanks in advanced
Emmanuel

why dont u have filename_proxyname
each proxie will have diff names so they will not merge?

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.
 CLEAR XML_TAB.

 ENDIF.

Data transfer error open dataset files

hi,
When i try to create a excel or text in my application server using open dataset.
i.e
l_filename type rlgrap-filename value '/tmp/down.txt'.
I got a short dump during the run time
i got the output and put into an internal table.
the following code has been used.
form user_command using r_ucomm like sy-ucomm
rs_selfield type slis_selfield.
if r_ucomm = 'confirm' .
OPEN DATASET l_fname FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
LOOP AT it_out INTO wa_out.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
TRANSFER wa_out TO l_filename.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
endform.
during the execution i hv a button alv grid outpu. when i click the button the file should be transferred.
but NO authorization to open the file "/tmp/down.txt".
and the error is pointed in the opendataset line.
Please tell me where i am wrong . and help me in resoving this.

Try this..instead of moving field by field into the file 1st convert all he fields to a character stream..and then move that steam to file. Ex:
loop at internal table into l_h_tbl_file.
concatenate l_h_tbl_file-f1 l_h_tbl_file-f2 l_h_tbl_file-f3
l_h_tbl_file-f4 l_h_tbl_file-f5 into g_string.
TRANSFER g_string TO fu_wk_get_file.
endloop.

Runtime Error in OPEN DATASET

Dear All,
I am trying to upload a text file in application server. But I am getting the run time error which says-
" For the statement

"f".
In this case. the operand "f" has the non-character-type "u". The
current program is a Unicode program. In the Unicode context, the type
'X' or structures containing not only character-type components are
regarded as non-character-type."
If I remove the quantity fields then the error does not happen. But I have to take quantity fields also. Plz tell me what to do. My code is,

Thanks Sri for your help. I tried to apply the logic, but the error i am getting here is -
"IT_MSEG-ERFMG" must be a character-like data object (data type C, N,D, T, or STRING) STRING).
Same case here, if I remove ERFMG field, i do not get such error.

Physical file location in SAP when OPEN DATASET command is used

Hi,
I have used below sample code from SAP help in my program. If you notice, I have not specified the file path however I am able to open and read this file whenever I want. Could anybody let me know where exactly is this file physically located. I have tried SP11( Temse objects) but no use.
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 .
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.

Hi,,
In the transaction AL11 go to the directory DIR_TEMP... you can find your file there

My program works fine.
But when the gwa_cust-grp_name contains the value for eg. -> panasonic co., ltd.
it takes till panasonic co., only
and leaves ltd. as i am using SPLIT command.
is there any other way to do this.
plz help me to solve this issue.
thanks.

Hi,
I notice you have marked the message as answered, but I just wanted to let you know there is a solution. The trick is to parse into an internal table and then to find and reassemble fields that were split because they contgain a comma. The ABAP program below is a commented example.

Hello Rajesh,
You are trying to do use OPEN DATASET with a local file. NOT POSSIBLE
You have to have the file in the app server to use OPEN DATASET.
