Output file from ABAP program

I am using the program Z_SAP_HIERARCHY_DOWNLOAD to output a hierarchy in BW to a specified drive. It works fine when I go to SE38 and run it. However, when I run it from a process chain, it doesn't output the file. How can I generate the output file by running the program from a Process Chain? Thanks.

Hello Uday,
i suppose if you run the program within a process chain it will be started
in a background process. All downloads via the SAPGUI onto your local
PC (or network drive) are not possible in the background because there is no
connection to your PC during the excecution of the report in the background.
Try to save the download on an accessible file system on the application server
and download it from there afterwards.
Which function module is used to download the data (GUI_DOWNLOAD or the older version WS_DOWNLOAD) in your report?
To save data on the application server use the ABAP statements
OPEN DATASET filename FOR OUTPUT    -> for creation of file
TRANSFER record TO filename                  -> for transfer of one record
CLOSE DATASET filename                        -> for closing the file

XML files from ABAP programs

Hi everyone!
Is there a way in ABAP to output XML files? Pls. send code/ function module if any.
From ABAP programs, we are sure that we can output TEXT files, but how about XML files?
The significance of this question is related
Currently we are using XI to interface SAP and AMS, this question for ABAP to produce XML file arose, if for example, the XI server is down and we have to still send data from one system to another. IDocs can also produce XML files, pls confirm. Earlier however, we have preferred XI rather than IDocs to do this. Anyway, any idea regarding this scenario will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and God bless!

Call SXPG _ CALL _ SYSTEM from ABAP program

Hi,
Someone may help me? I need to call the function module SXPG _ CALL _ SYSTEM from ABAP program for to encrypt a file.
I created the command by SM49 , but I don't know how I can call it from ABAP program.
Thanks

Create XML file from ABAP with SOAP Details

Hi,
I am new to XML and I am not familiar with JAVA or Web Service. I have searched in SDN and googled for a sample program for creating XML document from ABAP with SOAP details. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything.
I have a requirement for creating an XML file from ABAP with SOAP details. I have the data in the internal table. There is a Schema which the client provided and the file generated from SAP should be validating against that Schema. Schema contains SOAP details like Envelope, Header & Body.
My question is can I generate the XML file using CALL TRANSFORMATION in SAP with the SOAP details?
I have tried to create Transformation (Transaction XSLT_TOOL) in SAP with below code. Also in CALL transformation I am not able to change the encoding to UTF-8. It's always show UTF-16.
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:sap="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
    <SOAP:Envelope xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
      <SOAP:Header>
        <CUNS:HeaderInfo>
          <CUNS:InterfaceTypeId>10006</InterfaceTypeId>
          <CUNS:BusinessPartnerID>11223344</BusinessPartnerID>
          <CUNS:SchemaVersion>1.0</SchemaVersion>
          <CUNS:DateTime>sy-datum</DateTime>
        </CUNS:HeaderInfo>
      </SOAP:Header>
      <SOAP:Body>
        <xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
      </SOAP:Body>
    </SOAP:Envelope>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
In ABAP program, I have written below code for calling above Transformation.
call transformation ('Z_ID')
       source tab = im_t_output[]
       result xml xml_out.
call function 'SCMS_STRING_TO_FTEXT'
    exporting
      text      = xml_out
    tables
      ftext_tab = ex_t_xml_data.
Please help me how to generate XML file with SOAP details from ABAP. If anybody have a sample program, please share with me.
Is there any easy way to create the XML file in CALL Transformation. Please help.
Thanks

Unzip files using ABAP program

Hi All,
Can anybody guide me how to Unzip a .zip file using ABAP program... Appreciate your immediate reply...
actually, my scenario is to check whether zip file is created in appl.server or not.., and if zip file created then i need to check whether its blank file or any content exist inside the file...
Thanks in advance

hi
good
parameters: command(236) lower case.
data: std_lines(255) occurs 0 with header line.
call function 'RFC_REMOTE_PIPE'
    destination 'SERVER_EXEC'
    exporting
      command = command
      read = 'X'
    tables
      pipedata = std_lines
    exceptions
      communication_failure = 1
      system_failure = 2.
You should put your Unix command in the command parameter. "gunzip /yourfilepath/yourfilename" works on my Unix system. Once you determine the proper Unix command, you should be set. This technique is also nice because it provides you with echos back from Unix in table std_lines. For more complex Unix activity, you may want to consider throwing together a Unix script, and calling that via this code.
reward point if helpful.

Calling oracle procedure from ABAP program

There is a requirement to call the oracle stored procedure with some input parameter from ABAP program.
Suppose we have order number which is entered by the user in ABAP program.
This order number needs to be passed to oracle stored procedure as an input parameter in the same ABAP program.
We can call the oracle stored procedure without parameter using the following syntax
exec sql
execute procedure <procedure name>
end exec.
But do not know how to execute the oracle stored procedure with some input parameter?

Apologies , following is the correct code.
This will definetly solve your problem.
