Opening the Excel file from Application server

Hi All,
I had uploaded an excel file on the application server for using it in my program .
But when i am opening the uploaded file on the Application server it shows some special characters and those are also displayed on my report output while reading the file from the application server.
Please suggest how to get rid of those special characters.
my open data set statement is
OPEN DATASET pg_out2 FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE.

Hi ,
if it a Excel file ..
do the following..
    OPEN DATASET pg_out2              "appl file
            FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE
            ENCODING DEFAULT.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      DO.
        READ DATASET p_infile INTO w_temp.
*       Condition To check when cursor reaches End Of file
        IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
          PERFORM f_split_appl_data.
        ELSE.
          EXIT.
        ENDIF.
      ENDDO.
      CLOSE DATASET p_infile.
    ELSE.
      MESSAGE 'Error in opening file' type 'E'.
    ENDIF.
FORM f_split_appl_data .
SPLIT w_temp AT ',' INTO : wa_inputfile-plannum ......   "Split at , for excel or CSV file formats at appl files

How to delete the Generated files from application server(open hub)?

hi experts,
when i try to execute process chain the DTP it is giving below dump. Exception CX_RSBK_REQUEST_LOCKED logged.
when i execute the DTP manually and trying to delete the previous request, it is giving for dump ITAB_DUPLICATE_KEY.
so to delete the generated file from application server, how to delete it for specific dates?
Information on where terminated
Termination occurred in the ABAP program "GPD6S3OE0BCVGC6L9DBNVYQARZM" - in
"START_ROUTINE".
The main program was "RSBATCH_EXECUTE_PROZESS ".
In the source code you have the termination point in line 2874
of the (Include) program "GPD6S3OE0BCVGC6L9DBNVYQARZM".
The program "GPD6S3OE0BCVGC6L9DBNVYQARZM" was started as a background job.
and when i check the dump it is point out at below code
" Populate the lookup table for 0STOR_LOC
SELECT * from /BI0/TSTOR_LOC
into CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF table L_0STOR_LOC_TEXT
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN SOURCE_PACKAGE WHERE
STOR_LOC = SOURCE_PACKAGE-STOR_LOC.
but the programme is syntactically correct only.
how to rectify the issue.

hi experts,
We have written start routine to get the storage location text and sending to File located at Application server through OPEN HUB.
here is the code written in the Transformations
In the global section
Text for 0STOR_LOC
    DATA: l_0stor_loc_text TYPE HASHED TABLE OF /bi0/tstor_loc
          WITH UNIQUE KEY stor_loc.
    DATA: l_0stor_loc_text_wa TYPE /bi0/tstor_loc.
and in the code to get the text
" Populate the lookup table for 0STOR_LOC
    *SELECT * from /BI0/TSTOR_LOC*
      into CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF table L_0STOR_LOC_TEXT
      FOR ALL ENTRIES IN SOURCE_PACKAGE WHERE
              STOR_LOC = SOURCE_PACKAGE-STOR_LOC.
im sure there is problem with the Routine only. i think i need to change the code if so please provide me the modified one.
thanks

Error while reading excel file from application server into internal table.

Hi experts,
My requirement is to read an excel file from application server into internal table.
Hence I have created an excel file fm_test_excel.xls in desktop and uploaded to app server using CG3Z tcode (as BIN file type).
Now in my program I have used :
OPEN DATASET v_filename FOR INPUT IN text mode encoding default.
DO.
READ DATASET v_filename INTO wa_tab.
The statement OPEN DATASET works fine but I get a dump (conversion code page error) at READ DATASET statement.
Error details:
A character set conversion is not possible.
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 'Y_READ_FILE' 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 445. If this number is 0, the second error case, as
mentioned above, has occurred.
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE', was not
caught and
therefore caused a runtime error.
The reason for the exception is:
Characters are always displayed in only a certain codepage. Many
codepages only define a limited set of characters. If a text from a
codepage should be converted into another codepage, and if this text
contains characters that are not defined in one of the two codepages, a
conversion error occurs.
Moreover, a conversion error can occur if one of the needed codepages
'4110' or '4103' is not known to the system.
If the conversion error occurred at read or write of screen, the file
name was '/usr/sap/read_files/fm_test_excel.xls'. (further information about
the file: "X 549 16896rw-rw----201105170908082011051707480320110517074803")
Also let me know whether this is the proper way of reading excel file from app server, if not please suggest an alternative .
Regards,
Karthik

Hi,
Try to use OPEN DATASET v_filename FOR INPUT IN BINARY mode encoding default. instead of OPEN DATASET v_filename FOR INPUT IN text mode encoding default.
As I think you are uploading the file in BIN format to Application server and trying to open text file.

2. If the another file get's generated in the application server with same file name then the data in old file get's over written with the new data. You are not required to delete the file.

Open documents/files from Application Server in forms 6i

Hello All,
Our requirement is to open files that are in Application server( We do not want to upload them into database).
Is there a way to open this files from forms 6i.
I am wondering how the "View Output" or View log button works on the concurrent program submission form. Its the doing the same thing i.e pulling the file from Application server and showing up.
Please let me know if anyone has any ideas on how to get this done.
Thanks
Sunil

I assume you are using Forms 6i in web mode here. Then it is just a URL to the file if you properly map to a directory where you store the files:
web.show_document('http://...../myfile.pdf');
But it also looks like you are using Oracle Apps, so might want to ask it in the e-Business Suite.

What are the commands available to read a file from application server and

What are the commands available to read a file from application server and store the file into an internal table?

Hi,
To read a file from an Application Server to an Object there is a command in ABAP called <b>READ DATASET</b>. After that file is transported to that object you have to do a loop and put that data in an Internal Table.
This statement exports data from the file specified in dset into the data object dobj. For dobj, variables with elementary data types and flat structures can be specified. In Unicode programs, dobj must be character-type if the file was opened as a text file.
For dset, a character-type data object is expected - that is, an object that contains the platform-specific name of the file. The content is read from the file starting from the current file pointer. After the data transfer, the file pointer is positioned after the section that was read. Using the MAXIMUM LENGTH addition, the number of characters or bytes to be read from the file can be limited. Using ACTUAL LENGTH, the number of characters or bytes actually used can be determined.
In a Unicode program, the file must be opened with an arbitrary access type; otherwise, an exception that cannot be handled will be triggered.
If the file has not yet been opened in anon-Unicode program, it will be implicitly opened as a binary file for read access using the statement
OPEN DATASET dset FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
. If a non-existing file is accessed, an exception that can be handled can be triggered.
Influence of Access Type
Files can be read independently of the access type. Whether data can be read or not depends solely on the position of the file pointer. If the latter is at the end of the file or after the file, no data can be read and sy-subrc will be set to 4.
Influence of the Storage Type
The import function will take place irrespective of the storage type in which the file was opened with the statement OPEN DATASET.
If the file was opened as a text file or as a legacy text file, the data is normally read from the current position of the file pointer to the next end-of-line marking, and the file pointer is positioned after the end-of-line marking. If the data object dobj is too short for the number of read characters, the superfluous characters and bytes are cut off. If it is longer, it will be filled with blanks to the right.
If the file was opened as a binary file or as a legacy-binary file, as much data is read that fits into the data object dobj. If the data object dobj is longer than the number of exported characters, it is filled with hexadecimal 0 on the right.
If the specified storage type makes conversion necessary, this is executed before the assignment to the data object dobj. Afterwards, the read data is placed, byte by byte, into the data object.
System Fields
sy-subrc Meaning
0 Data was read without reaching end of file.
4 Data was read and the end of the file was reached or there was an attempt to read after the end of the file.
Thanks,
Samantak.

Create Excel file in application server but the field value is incorrect

Hi Experts,
i am facing a problem when create excel file in application server using OPEN DATASET command.
the internal table have 4 field and one of those field contains 19 digit number --> ICCID.
the code running well, successfully create EXCELfile in application server but the problem is SAP only copy exactly first 15 digit numeric only and the rest became zero 0
Example :
the field value in internal table is 8962118800000447654 but when i opened in the excel file the value became 8962118800000440000.
and if i add alphabet like a8962118800000447654 then it is correct.
is there is anything wrong with my code?
here is my code
