Pipe delimited file format

HI Guys,
can some body explain what a pipe delimited file format is.
thanks
Column Name = WRKAREA_CODE
Format of Pipe Delimited File = 20 Digits
SAP DB Type = CHAR (20)
Description = Work Area Code
WRKAREA_CODE is a field of the table WFAV_WRKAREA

HI,
a pipe delimited file is a file in which the content of the file is seperated by a pipe symbol..
example
100|Name|School|age|
*-- Read the File From PC
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      FILENAME = V_FILENAME
    TABLES
      DATA_TAB = I_FILE
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS   = 17.
*-- Split the Record into Individual Fields
      SPLIT X_FILE-LINE AT '|' INTO   X_PRSTR-VCODE
                                      X_PRSTR-CURR
                                      X_PRSTR-ODLEVEL
                                      X_PRSTR-DLEVEL
                                      X_PRSTR-EDATE
                                      X_PRSTR-SCODE
                                      X_PRSTR-TCODE
                                      X_PRSTR-DCODE

Create SSRS report export option pipe delimited .txt format for subscription in sharepoint integrated mode

I'm trying to research a way of creating a custom export option called Pipe.txt. Which is just a pipe delimited .txt format option for a report that i have that requires this format. This report will set up in a subscription that'll run a daily basis
for the previous business day.
I'm running on a SharePoint Integrated Mode. I have seen the option of changing the rsreportserver.config file which doesn't work in my case because the file doesn't exist in integration mode. I was wondering what are some ways or possibly some links to
achieving this because I've ran into dead ends or execution option i don't understand.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Writing schema for pipe delimited file

Hi all,
I have to write a pipe delimited file (|) in .txt at a particular location. I am not seeing this option in native schema creation.
The file should be written in following format:
Header1
Line1
Line2
Line3
Header2
Line1
Line2
Line3
Can we write a schema for such kind of scenario?
Here is an example for the format specified above:
Orderno1|Customer1|site1
Partno1|price1|Quantity1
Partno2|price2|Quantity2
Partno3|price2|Quantity1
Orderno2|Customer2|site2
Partno1|price2|Quantity2
Partno1|price2|Quantity2
Partno2|price2|Quantity3
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance,
Abhishek.

Hi Abhishek,
You are right there is no option in native schema creation wizard for generating '|' delimiter file.
But you can achieve this problem with another approach.
step 1: Create schema file for ',' (comma) delimiter through native format builder wizard.
step 2: open the created XSD file and replace ',' with '|' option in terminatedBy command of each element.
step 3: Attach this updated XSD file to your outbound(write) service.
Thanks

Extract data from Pipe Delimited file

Hi everybody,
Could someone provide me the command to extract data from a pipe delimited file ("|") using Open/Read Data set.
I mean eliminating the delimiter ("|") and just picking the data.
Thanks
M

Here you go.. this code snippet parses the input file record by using pipe (variable lv_pipe) as separator, for tab separated file you can use lv_tab like wise...
TYPES: BEGIN OF ts_field,
 field(50) TYPE c,
 END OF ts_field,
 tt_field TYPE TABLE OF ts_field.
 DATA: ls_record TYPE string,
 ls_input_data TYPE ts_input_data,
 lv_tab TYPE x VALUE '09',
 lv_pipe TYPE C VALUE '|',
 ls_field TYPE ts_field,
 lt_field_tab TYPE tt_field,
 lv_field_index TYPE syindex,
 lv_record_no TYPE syindex.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_field> TYPE ANY.
OPEN DATASET fv_file_path IN TEXT MODE FOR INPUT.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
 DO.
 lv_record_no = lv_record_no + 1.
 READ DATASET fv_file_path INTO ls_record.
 IF sy-subrc NE 0.
 EXIT.
 ELSE.
 SPLIT ls_record AT lv_pipe INTO TABLE lt_field_tab.
 CLEAR: lv_field_index, ls_input_data.
 LOOP AT lt_field_tab INTO ls_field.
 lv_field_index = lv_field_index + 1.
 ASSIGN COMPONENT lv_field_index OF STRUCTURE
 ls_input_data TO <fs_field>.
 IF sy-subrc = 0.
 <fs_field> = ls_field-field.

Download data into a pipe delimited file

I want to download data from an internal table into a pipe delimited file.
I plan to use FM: SAP_CONVERT_TO_TEX_FORMAT but the system I am working on is BW 3.1.
This FM does not exists in BW 3.1
How can I download data from an internal table into a pipe delimited file?
Please help,
Thanks,
CD

Please use Search before posting, this has been discussed many times already. Not necessarily as "pipe delimited", but delimiter doesn't really matter here. Here is just one of the recent posts:
Write internal table to file GUI_DOWNLOAD or TRANSFER?
Note that all GUI functions only work in the foreground. There are also some solutions in "pure ABAP", like looping through the internal table fields and adding a delimiter. Or a quick and dirty solution - define an internal table with the extra fields for delimiters (mainframe legacy!).
Also questions specific to BW should be posted in the BW forum IMHO, not in ABAP General. Otherwise you'll get a lot of "valuable" suggestions here...

Pipe delimited file

Hi
can anybody tell me how the pipe delimited file look like ?? If possible with example. What is the difference between tab delimited, pipe delimited, CSV, flat file, fixed with fomat file and text file ??
Thanks
Kumar

Hey
here is the thing
you have two different words, Delimited and Separated
now if u go with the dictionary meaning then Delimited means in the end which means Pipe should be in the end,and going with the dictionary meaning of Separated means it should be in between .but since we are not English authors i guess u can consider Raj's reply as more authentic.
Its all Business jargo so don't worry too much about it,you have to handle these files in FCC so if u have Pipe in between the entries then give .fieldSeparator as Pipe(|) and if u have Pipe(|) only in the end give .endSeparator as Pipe(|).
Thanx

READ THE PIPE DELIMITER FILE

Hi guys,
I am uploading the data from a file which is in the application server and in pipe delimiter format.
This file in the format like .... let us take 100 records among those one record is header, 98 data records and one trailer record. These are seperated by the record locater like header with 0, data record with 1 and trailer with 9.
So what i am doing is uploading that file first of all into one internal table I_ARFILE, then splitting the data at pipe into 3 different internal tables. In the mean time I am doing the validations also for the number of records...
like there should not be more than one header, and one trailer........

In this code something wrong like....
I have to modify this code so that i can split the file based on the record indicator to different internal tables.
if you see my code I am going wrong after i split the data into header internal table... did the validations then I put the else condition and split the same record again into 2nd internal table. But I have to take the second record once the first one is filled..........
Can any one guide me how to do that plz...... I am bit confused with this

Please check , first you need to split the file and move header, item, trailer , then using these internal tables do your validations

File content conversion for Pipe delimited file

Hi
i have a scenario ( file-xi-proxy) in whch file is coming in a pipe delimited.
my data type is like
DT_ XXXXX
AwardInfo
Header contains some fileds
DetailRecord contains some fileds
trailer contains some fields
what are content conversion parameters i have to use
venkat

Sedamkar,
Expecting you have one header, multiple details and one trailer then give recordset structure in sender file communication channel as:
Header,1,DetailRecord ,*,trailer,1
In content conversion you should give parameters:
Header.fieldSeparator : |
Header.endSeparator : 'nl'
DetailRecord.fieldSeparator : |
DetailRecord.endSeparator : 'nl'
trailer.fieldSeparator : |
trailer.endSeparator : 'nl'
You may need to change the parameters also according to your strcuture and the file layout. See this SAP help for file content conversion:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e3/94007075cae04f930cc4c034e411e1/content.htm

FCC for Broken pipe delimited file

Hi Fellow SDNer's
I have a broken pipe delimited flat file . I want to do file content conversion for the same .
Can you please help me with the parameters
I am on PO 7.4 dual stack
Thanks
Ninad Sane

Hi Ninad
It looks like the broken pipe character is outside the US-ASCII character set.
ASCII Code - The extended ASCII table
You can try using the ASCII character to see if it works or not:-
Header.fieldSeparator = '0xA6'
Check also the following thread that mentions the use of non US-ASCII character.
Content conversion - endSeparator and fieldSeparator with unusual separators
In particular, it mentions OSS note 1936206 - if you have the corrections in place, you can try using MessageTransformBean and specifying the encoding with the following additional parameter.
xml.fieldSeparator.encoding=ISO-8859-1

Pipe Delimited file with comma

Hi Guys,
I have a pipe '|' delimited csv file. One of the field contains ',' (comma) for few records. The data loads fine uptill the PSA but when I load the data in the cube, that field is coming empty as well as some other feilds which donot have a comma in it.
The delmiter in IP and DS is used '|' pipe.

A pipe within quotes? I don't think you can do that with regex. But you can simply itearate through the chars of the String with an "isInsideQuotes" boolean flag and do a manual replacement using StringBuffer.

Converting an XML file to a DAT pipe delimited file

Hi
I'm trying to create an SSIS Package which converts an XML file into a dat file which is pipe delimited.
I want the package to be generic so that once that minimal modification is needed when using for different files.
I've so far had no luck with this and need some help/assistance.
All help fully appreciated.
Thank you
Umar Javed

The XML file can vary from fixed to variable.
for Fixed, i've done the same thing as you've suggested and parametrized the flat file connection manager.
For The XML source is there any way we can parametrize the location of the XML or XSD files?
For Variable, unfortunately due to restrictions we can not create an intermediate table and then export.
is there any other way?
Thanks
Umar Javed
XSD path can be made dynamic as below
http://picnicerror.net/development/sql-server/define-xsd-file-for-ssis-xml-source-using-expression-2012-04-21/
For variable you can even add them to configurations and then pass them from a file using xml configuration option.
