Processing selected range of record from a flat file.

Hi,
I am having a requirement like, I have a flat file as source with large number of records and oracle table as target. But i will be using 3 interfaces to process those records.
Each interface will process 100 records. How to achieve this part? How to count records and add filter to the source so that I can achieve this part?
Thanks.
Regards.

Yes. I assume that the header lines and the lines with the data are formatted differently. If so, you can process the file a line at a time and use a regualr expression to match the data lines. If the regular expression matches use that line. If it doesn't match then simply ignore that line of text.
You can either read the file a line at a time or read the entire file and process the text a line at a time. If you may be processing large files I recommend reading the file a line at a time. Reading very large files in one read can be very slow. Reading the same file in chunks will be much faster.

How can i duplicate records from a flat file to a cube

Hi all,
i got the next problem, i m loading a flat file, fur example:
Material KF1 KF2
A 10 12
B 25 30
01 02
I Need duplicate the records for material A and B but with the values of Not assign, in other words the result in the cube would be like this:
Material KF1 KF2
A 10 12
B 25 30
01 02
A 01 02
B 01 02
How can i do this, i know this must be a rutine, but where in the star? final? expert rutine? and how would be the code to do it, help guys and thanks!

you can use end routine to accomplish that...
hope the below code helps...
DATA : IT_RESULT_PACKAGE LIKE TABLE OF RESULT_PACKAGE.
DATA : WA_RESULT_PACKAGE LIKE RESULT_PACKAGE.
SORT RESULT_PACKAGE BY MATERIAL.
IT_RESULT_PACKAGE[] = RESULT_PACKAGE[].
LOOP AT RESULT_PACKAGE ASSIGNING <RESULT_FIELDS>.
READ TABLE RESULT_PACKAGE INTO WA_RESULT_PACKAGE WITH KEY MATERIAL IS INITIAL BINARY SEARCH.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
WA_RESULT_PACKAGE-MATERIAL = <RESULT_FIELDS>-MATERIAL.
APPEND WA_RESULT_PACKAGE INTO IT_RESULT_PACKAGE.
CLEAR WA_RESULT_PACKAGE.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
CLEAR RESULT_PACKAGE[].
RESULT_PACKAGE[] = IT_RESULT_PACKAGE[].
this code will be suitable only if the material as unique entry with initial value...
else you would require to use a loop statement instead of the read statement which has been used...

Saving database records in a flat file

I am trying to save data from relational database into a flat file and then read back records based on the certain criteria.
What will be a good approach for me? Should I use random access files or sequential files for storing and
retrieving data or is there some other technique that is more efficient that I can use.
Thanks

I don't think that reading database records from a flat file based on certain criteria is a good approach, no matter how you produce the flat file. Using a second database table makes more sense to me, especially since you already have database software available and ready for use.
(You asked about a "good approach" and then you wanted a technique that was "more efficient". Those two aren't the same thing at all.)

How to skip first record while inserting data from a flat file to BW system

Hi Experts,
In my project we have to upload flat file into a BW system. I have written a program and it is working fine.
Now we have got another requirement. The flat file will have a header record (first row). While uploading the flat file we have to skip this record. How I can do so?
The code is as below:

How to select first several records from a database table by using select?

Hi,
 I want to select first 100 records from a database table by using select clause. How to write it?
 Thanks a lot!

hai long!
 well select statement is used to retrive
records from the database.
following is the syntax to be used.
1) select * into corresponding fields of itab from basetable where condition.
endselect.
ex: select * into corresponding fields of itab from mara
 where matnr >= '1' and matnr <= '100'.
 append itab.
 endselect.
select * is a loop statement.it will execute till matnr is less than or equal to 100.
note: you can also mention the required field names in the select statement otherwise it will select all the field from table mara.
note: itab means your internal table name.
hope you got the required thing.if it really solved u r problem then award me the suitable points.

Help with selecting 10 random records from all records meeting report selection criteria in Crystal 11

I am trying to select ten random records from all that match the report selection criteria then report on each of these random records for QA/QI. I have tried the RND function however it is giving me a random number rather than a random record selection. I cannot figure this out and am despirately seeking assistance.Thank you,Amy

I don't know of any Random record selection functions but maybe you could write your own custom function inside of a record selection to randomly filter the records. You would use the Rand function we currently have to decide if a record was included in the report data or not.Another possible option is to filter the records before they get to the report. You can only do this if you are pushing the data into the report instead of having the report pull the data. An example of this would be passing an ado recordset to a report at runtime.

Saving records to a flat file

Dearest experts,
I do need your kindest assistance.
I have over 15 fieldnames from 11 tables.
Some of these fieldnames are mandatory fieldnames and others are optional.
The users are instructed to enter 'NA' to any to any fieldname that doesn't have a value.
So far, that has not been the case. Sometimes, they enter 'NA' to some fieldnames.
Some other times, they leave them blank. So, there is really noway to know which fieldnames would be left blank, we are forced now to come up with pl/sql script that will do 2 things:
1, select all of those 15 records, and with the help of an if else statement, or even CASE or DECODE, come up with a catch_all code that is something like:
if this fieldname is blank, assign 'NA' to it.
2, Save the newly corrected records to a flat file.
I will be forever indebted if you can give me a hand on this.
Thanks very much.

Great guy, thank you Warren!
a couple of more follow-ups, please?
Silly question 1, does NVL work with numeric values like 0 as well?
Second, if I need to trim some stuff off and I need to use something like Substr, can I fit that into NVL?
Thank you soooo very much

Problem in the BDC program to upload the data from a flat file.

Hi,
I am required to write a BDC program to upload the data from a flat file. The conditions are as mentioned below:-
1) Selection Screen will be prompted to user and user needs to provide:- File Path on presentation server (with F4 help for this obligatory parameter) and File Separator e.g. @,#,$,%,... etc(fields in the file will be separated by using this special character) or fields may be separated by tab(tab delimited).
2) Finally after the data is uploaded, following messages need to be displayed:-
a) Total Number of records successfully uploaded.
b) Session Name
c) Number of Sessions created.
Problem is when each record is fetched from flat file, the record needs to be split into individual fields separated by delimiter or in case tab separated, then proceeding in usual manner.
It would be great if you provide me either the logic, pseudocode, or sample code for this BDC program.
Thanks,

Here is an example program, if you require the delimitor to be a TAB, then enter TAB on the selection screen, if you require the delimitor to be a comma, slash, pipe, whatever, then simply enter that value. This example is simply the uploading of the file, not the BDC, I assume that you know what to do once you have the data into the internal table.

How to MODIFY A CUSTOM TABLE FROM A FLAT FILE

Dear Friends,
                 I have a requirement where i have to upload data from excel file to my custom table so i have used a FM
'TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP' and i have collected data into a internal table , till here i am able to get data correctly , now i hae to upload this data into a custom table .
the flat file is having 6 fields and the custom table is having
8 fields , for uploading the data into this custom table from the internal table where i have collected above iam getting problem . Actually iam using a modify statement to update the custom table .
the flat file which i have collected into the internal table is as below :
IDNo.     Name     Date      Location   Designation Dept
101       Raja      4/12/2007 Delhi      Manager      HR
102       James    4/12/2007 Delhi      Clerk          HR
Custom table is having the below fields
IDNO. Name Date Location Designation Dept   Manager
101                                                                   Raja
now when i run the program iam getting the problem   while usign the modify statment is the ID no which is already having
a record as IDno = 101 and manger = Raja.......with the other fields   name , date, location,designation and dept as blank.
if i want to fill this fields from my flat file the modify statment
just filling all the fields for the ID no = 101 and manager field which already having Raja as being overwritten by space .....
becasue this field is not being there in the flat file.
the code iam using as follows.
The flat file is having with the below structure
TYPES: BEGIN OF t_emp_data,
          IDNO(11) TYPE c,
         Name(13) TYPE c,
         Date(20) TYPE c,
          Location (40) TYPE c,
         Designation(40) TYPE c,
         Dept(40) TYPE c,
         end of t_emp_data.
The Custom Table(ZEMP_DATA) is having with the below structure
TYPES: BEGIN OF t_emp_data_table,
          IDNO(11) TYPE c,
         Name(13) TYPE c,
         Date(20) TYPE c,
          Location (40) TYPE c,
         Designation(40) TYPE c,
         Dept(40) TYPE c,
         Manager(20) type c, -- this is the extra field in table
         end of t_emp_data_table.
data :
it_empdata TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t_emp_data,
it_empdata_tmp TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t_empdata_tmp,
wa_empdata_tmp type t_empdata_tmp,
wa_empdata type t_emp_data.
loop at it_empdata into wa_empdata.
move-corresponding wa_empdata to   wa_empdata_tmp.
modify ZEMP_DATA from wa_empdata_tmp .
endloop.
could any one please let me know what i have to do inorder to not get the manager field data not being overwritten with the modify statment , for the IDNo. 101 . I want the data which is already ( manager = Raja) shouldnt not be get overwritten with Space.
please help me in this regard
Regards
Madhuri.

Hi,
use a slect statement before
"move-corresponding wa_empdata to wa_empdata_tmp."
select manager
from ztable
into wa_empdata_tmp-manager
where id = 100.

BAPI_PO_CREATE1 not able to create PO's for multiple rows from the flat fil

Hi
i am uploading PO's from a flat file into SAP using the BAPI_PO_CREATE1. Everything works fine if the flat file hast only one record.
if the flat file has more than one record then while loading the second record the BAPI returns a error message. I am calling the BAPI in a loop.
The strange thing is that if i load the second record individually the program is able to create the PO. So only when i have multiple records in the flat file i am unable to load the PO into SAP. I debugged and checked all the internal tables passed to the BAPI. All seems to have the data correctly but still the BAPI fails.
any idea where i am going wrong?
the code looks something like this.
LOOP AT HEADER_ITAB.
   PERFORM FILL_HEADER_RECORDS.
LOOP AT ITEM_ITAB WHERE EBELN eq HEADER_ITAB-EBELN.
     PERFORM FILL_ITEM_RECORDS.
ENDLOOP.
PERFORM CERATE_PO_VIA_BAPI.
ENDLOOP.

What is the error message. Are you trying something like this:
    LOOP AT T_DATA1.
      AT NEW LIFNR.
        READ TABLE T_DATA1 INDEX SY-TABIX.
        PERFORM INIT_TABLES.
        PERFORM FILL_DATA.

Error while uploading data from a flat file to the hierarchy

Hi guys,
after i upload data from a flat file to the hierarchy, i get a error message "Please select a valid info object" am loading data using PSA, having activated all external chars still get the problem..some help on this please..
regards
Sri

there is o relation of infoobject name in flat file and infoobjet name at BW side.
please check with the object in the BW and their lengths and type of the object and check your flat file weather u have the same type there,
now check the sequence of the objects in the transfer rules and activate them.
there u go.

Reading special characters from a flat file and inserting into DB

I'm reading data with special characters like . etc from a flat file , assigning the data to variable in my anonymous block and inserting into my DB. But the show up as inverted ? s. Any clues about how to do this?
If i try to do the insert directly it works. It seems like the error occurs when reading this data into a variable
thanks for the help
Lalit Bhatia

lalit, this is probably an character set problem, the default on Database creation tends to be 7bit Ascii which does not support special characters, it's been a while since I set up a db in this way, but you need to change settings in oracle.ini. The db will need to be restarted for this. Also, to check current settings try:
select * from NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS
You want an 8bit, unicode or multibyte character set. Sorry I cannot remember moer off the top of my head, try searching on NLS or character set

Looking for a program to delete CVCs from a flat file, infocube, ztable.

I am looking for a program that will delete CVCs from a flat file, infocube, or ztable. Based on the research I have done, I would imagine the core of such a program would be the use of function module /sapapo/ts_plob_delete.
If anyone has such a program and would be willing to share it that would be great.
Shane

Hi
Yes you can use this program, but I think the program /sapapo/ts_plob_delete will only delete the data from Master planning Object structure( MPOS). First you have to deactivate the planning are first than use this program which will delete everything and again activate the planning area.
If you want to delete the data flat files or infocube, you require to delete the data directly from the infocubes and add this job in the process chain to delete everything.
I hope this information help you.
Thanks
