Hi SSM,
Did you manage to have your program working? I also have same requirement. I tried standard FM and BAPI but I always encounter authorization error when I tried accessing other user's mail. Thanks.

Reading WebDAV Content from ABAP

Hello,
I like to read WebDAV Content from SAP NetWeaver Portal KM with ABAP.
For writing Content with WebDAV I found this post:
A small working example of how to use the Abap webdav client to write files
With Method GET_CONTENT from CL_SWDCL_NAMESPACE_CLIENT I can read single files, but what I need is a list with files and folders for a given path.
I also tried to use the Interface IF_SWDCL_BASIC_SEARCH_CLIENT, but I only get HTML-Errorcodes 400 or 422 since I don't know which parameters I need.
Maybe there is someone here who can help me to solve this problem.
Thank you.

Hello,
I face the same problem, did you already find a solution you can share?
Thanks in advance

Reading XML Data from ABAP Program?

Hi,
How do I read XML Data from an ABAP Program? For example if I have the below basic XML Code-
<xml>
<Name> Thiru </Name>
<Age> 24 </Age>
<City> chennai </Chennai>
</xml>
How do i read the data within the Name,Age, and City tags into variables in the ABAP Program?
Regards,
Thiru

if you decide to do in XSLT, I have a sample list here:
XML file like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<F>
<P1>
<t_1>value1</t_1>
<t_2>testvalue</t_2>
</P1>
<P2>
</P2>
</F>
XSLT file like this:
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:sapxsl="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl" version="1.0">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="F">
<asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0">
<asx:values>
<DOCUMENT>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</DOCUMENT>
</asx:values>
</asx:abap>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="P1">
<ENTRY>
<T_1><xsl:value-of select="t_1"/></T_1>
<T_2><xsl:value-of select="t_2"/></T_2>
</ENTRY>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
ABAP program like this:
DATA: BEGIN OF wa_upload,
text(255) TYPE c,
END OF wa_upload,
itab_upload LIKE TABLE OF wa_upload,
BEGIN OF wa_document,
t_1 TYPE string,
t_2 TYPE string,
END OF wa_document,
itab_document LIKE TABLE OF wa_document.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
EXPORTING
filename = 'XXXXX'
filetype = 'ASC'
TABLES
data_tab = itab_upload.
CALL TRANSFORMATION zrappel_xml_test
SOURCE XML itab_upload
RESULT document = itab_document.
You should pay attention to the bold words.

It is better to create a proxy, it then puts a level of abstraction between in that coding. All you need to do is then access the proxy class.
Besides that i think you can do it by configuring the ITS and calling the webservice by means of using BSP applications in ABAP
I believe you need to create a proxy in order to consume your web service.

Read DB2 tables from ABAP program

Hi All,
I have a requirement to read a DB2 table(in our landscape) from the ABAP program. I appreciate any pointers.
Thanks,
Kiran.

Connecting to an External database from SAP
Step 1: Create an entry for the External database in DBCON table using Trxn: DBCA.
Table: DBCON (Description of Database Connections)
Field Name Description Value (For: E.g.:)
CON_NAME Logical name for a database RAJ
DBMS Database system MSS
USER_NAME Database user <username>
PASSWORD Password for setting up the connection to the database <pwd>/<pwd>
CON_ENV Database-specific information for a database connection MSSQL_SERVER=depotserver MSSQL_DBNAME=HOF_INDORE
DB_RECO Availability type for an open database connect
Step 2: Now you can write code to connect to the external database
Your Sample code can be something like this
FUNCTION-POOL z_houston. "MESSAGE-ID ..
DATA: BEGIN OF wa,
c_locid(3),
c_locname(50),
c_locstate(5),
END OF wa.
FUNCTION z_houston_connect.
""Local interface:
EXEC SQL.
CONNECT TO 'RAJ' AS 'V'
ENDEXEC.
EXEC SQL.
SET CONNECTION 'V'
ENDEXEC.
*- Get the data from MS-SQL Server
EXEC SQL.
open C1 for
select
loc_id,
loc_name,
loc_state
from ho_loc_mast
ENDEXEC.
DO.
EXEC SQL.
FETCH NEXT C1 into :wa-c_locid, :wa-c_locname, :wa-c_locstate
ENDEXEC.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
PERFORM loop_output.
ELSE.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
EXEC SQL.
CLOSE C1
ENDEXEC.
ENDFUNCTION.
*& Form LOOP_OUTPUT
Output
FORM loop_output .
WRITE: /5 wa-c_locid, 10 wa-c_locname, 65 wa-c_locstate.

Receiving/Reading external Email from ABAP

Unhelpfully, certain information will only be sent to us in the text of emails sent to a specified email address (instead of a flat text file via sftp etc). This will all be within the same Intranet. We can specify the format.
How can ABAP read the emails in the Inbox of a specified email address? Do you get a specific user to link their Office settings to a POP3/IMAP account (for example?).
/people/anton.wenzelhuemer/blog/2006/05/27/abap-pop3-email-client-using-an-rfc-enabled-php-client-proxy gives a solution but is there a simpler way? No mail management is required (delete, flag when read etc).
Cheers,
Matt.

Reading XMl file from ABAP

Hi friends,
I am working in SAP 4.6c. Please help me in the following scenario.
I have to read the xml whixjh in the application server.
I have to Make sure each XML only contains 1 IDOC. If 10 idocs are pushed out , there should be 10 XML messages. 1 idoc per XML.
So if the FM receives a message that contains 10 idocs, the routine just needs to split the XML into 10 separate XML's using YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_IDOCNUMBER.XML as the new of each XML.
Convert the XML into UTF-8 compliant
above is my requirement.
Can you guide me how to read a XMl file and findout how many idocs are present in that...
Please guide me...
Thanks in advance,
Sudha

Hi Sudha,

Reading from ABAP memory, not available in call stack

Hi,
I need to read a table from ABAP memory. It is not available from the call stack, so I cant use the standard assign approach. The internal table is listed under System areas -> Area ITABS-HEADS with the name \FUNCTION-POOL=MLSP\DATA=IY_ESLL[]
Is it even possible to read this table? Seems as though I have to access function-pool MLSP to find it.
Regards,
Damian

Hi,
The main program of this function pool is SAPLMLSP. If you in any of theses includes can add a small form that returns the content of internal table ( IY_ESLL[] ) that should solve your problem.
In the program that need the data, write something like :
PERFORM Z_GET_MLSP_DATA(SAPLMLSP) using GT_ESLL.
This form can be created within any sub-include within the SAPLMLSP.
However, with a quick look at SAPLMLSP does not reveal any user modifiable includes, but I didn't check very carefully.
If you are on ECC 6.0, there are plenty of enhancement spots, which could be used for this purpose.

CALL A JAVA PROGRAM FROM ABAP -- NEED HELP

Hi all,
Can somebody tell me how to call a java xml code from an ABAP program? First let me know if at all, is it possible to call a java program from SAP that is from an ABAP executable progam?
Please suggest me in this. All your inputs in this is valuable to me and highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Vaishnavi Varadarajan

Hi,
Previous explanation i gave is not correct.
ABAP web services expose the function modules outside R/3, so that other technologies like Java can consume that webservice and read the data in R/3 using the function module.
For your requirement, create a Java web service to read the XML. Consume this webservice in ABAP. This way you can read the XML from ABAP.

Reading a CSV file from server

Hi All,
I am reading a CSV file from server and my internal table has only one field with lenght 200. In the input CSV file there are more than one column and while splitting the file my internal table should have same number of rows as columns of the input record.
But when i do that the last field in the internal table is appened with #.
Can somebody tell me the solution for this.
U can see the my code below.
data: begin of itab_infile occurs 0,
 input(3000),
 end of itab_infile.
data: begin of itab_rec occurs 0,
 record(200),
 end of itab_rec.
data: c_comma(1) value ',',
 open dataset f_name1 for input in text mode encoding default.
 if sy-subrc <> 0.
 write: /, 'FILE NOT FOUND'.
 exit.
 endif.
do
read dataset p_ipath into waf_infile.
split itab_infile-input at c_sep into table itab_rec.
enddo.
Thanks in advance.
Sunil

Sunil,
You go not mention the platform on which the CSV file was created and the platform on which it is read.
A common problem with CSV files created on MS/Windows platforms and read on unix is the end-of-record (EOR) characters.
MS/Windows usings <CR><LF> as the EOR
Unix using either <CR> or <LF>
If on unix open the file using vi in a telnet session to confirm the EOR type.
The fix options.
1) Before opening the opening the file in your ABAP program run the unix command dos2unix.
2) Transfer the file from the MS/Windows platform to unix using FTP using ascii not bin. This does the dos2unix conversion on the fly.
3) Install SAMBA and share the load directory to the windows platforms. SAMBA also handles the dos2unix and unix2dos conversions on the fly.
Hope this helps

Reading Sheet name from csv file.

Dear All,
I am doing one program where i am reading contents from .csv file from oracle forms. I m using utl_file for reading the contents from .csv file.
But problem is i am having 5 sheets under .csv file and i want to read fifth sheet's data. how do i jump to particular sheet in csv file. please help me in this case. this is very urgent.
regards,
Manish n

I'm not sure of the format of a CSV with sheets : I assume it's a spreadsheet with multiple sheets ?
I know that using Apache POI you can read (and write) native XLS or XLSX spreadsheets and then iterate through the sheets / rows cells. This requires java knowledge but works really well.

How do I TRULY remove the CRLF (#) from the last field read in CSV dataset?

Good day, everyone!
PLEASE NOTE: I spent most of yesterday searching SDN and reading all kinds of threads on this topic. Yes, I know, there ARE other threads out there regarding this topic, but I spent all of yesterday afternoon trying every solution posted and nothing worked. So, to my knowledge, nobody has yet to post a definite solution to this problem.
I am reading a comma-delimited CSV file from our Application Server. It was originally in Microsoft Excel but saved as a CSV file. I open the file as follows:
OPEN DATASET p_fname FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
Here is my loop to read the entire file into an internal table, splitting it into individual fields:
READ DATASET p_fname INTO wa_unsplit.
WHILE sy-subrc EQ 0.
    ADD 1 TO w_unsplit_tot.
    SPLIT wa_unsplit AT w_comma INTO:
          wa_split-massn
          wa_split-massg
          wa_split-curr
          wa_split-persg
          wa_split-pernr
          wa_split-persid
          wa_split-persk
          wa_split-stat2
          wa_split-fisc_year
          wa_split-funds_center
          wa_split-plans
          wa_split-orgeh
          wa_split-abkrs
          wa_split-werks
          wa_split-sem_posit
          wa_split-ansal
          wa_split-bsgrd
          wa_split-adm_adj_amt
          wa_split-hourly_rate.
    APPEND wa_split TO it_split.
    CLEAR: wa_unsplit,
           wa_split.
    READ DATASET p_fname INTO wa_unsplit.
ENDWHILE.
The problem is that the last field, wa_split-hourly_rate (defined as character length 17) gets a '#' appended to the end of it. This happens with each record, and it appears to be the CR/LF character (the value of it in hex is the same as cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf).
I've tried everything previously recommended to strip this character from my hourly_rate field. I've tried another STRIP command. I've tried REPLACE and TRANSLATE and a whole slew of things. Despite all the threads that exist on SDN about this, I've yet to find something that truly works.
Certainly I can't be the first person reading a file from the Application Server and having this issue.
Please do NOT post links to solutions that DO NOT WORK! Full points will be awarded to anyone who can solve this challenge.
Thanks everyone!

Success! Peluka and Naimesh, I had to combine your two recommendations, and I finally got it to work!
Thanks for the clarification, Rich. I ended up calling my "aux" field "junk" for lack of a better word, but in the end you confirmed what I thought it was.
For anyone else out there who has struggled finding a successful answer to this challenge, here's what worked for me:
CONSTANTS: c_comma(1) TYPE c VALUE ',',
           c_crlf(1)   TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf.
DATA: w_junk          TYPE string.
READ DATASET p_fname INTO wa_unsplit.
WHILE sy-subrc EQ 0.
    ADD 1 TO w_unsplit_tot.
    SPLIT wa_unsplit AT c_comma INTO:
          wa_split-massn
          wa_split-massg
          wa_split-curr
          wa_split-persg
          wa_split-pernr
          wa_split-persid
          wa_split-persk
          wa_split-stat2
          wa_split-fisc_year
          wa_split-funds_center
          wa_split-plans
          wa_split-orgeh
          wa_split-abkrs
          wa_split-werks
          wa_split-sem_posit
          wa_split-ansal
          wa_split-bsgrd
          wa_split-adm_adj_amt
          wa_split-hourly_rate.
And here is the line that removes the CR/LF character from the end of the Hourly Rate field!
    SPLIT wa_split-hourly_rate AT c_crlf INTO:
    wa_split-hourly_rate w_junk.
    APPEND wa_split TO it_split.
    CLEAR: wa_unsplit,
           wa_split.
    READ DATASET p_fname INTO wa_unsplit.
ENDWHILE.
Thanks so much, everyone! Once again, SDN folks save the day. Points awarded!
