Read ABAP Program from Transport File

Hi Guys,
I have a transport log file which contains an abap program, i want to read that program before inporting that to my system, when i open the file the program sources come in not readable format we are on ECC.6 and transport file is also generated out of ECC.6 system.
Does anyone have any idea how can i read the source of and any editor where i can get that converted in readable format.

Call ABAP program from Unix script passing dynamic filename

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to call an ABAP program from a Unix script passing a dynamic filename to the ABAP program?
We are receiving a file from an external company and on receipt of the file want to call an ABAP program passing the filename. The filename is made up of File ID, Date and Time which we need to read in the ABAP program. We usually use Events to trigger a program which is fine when the filename if static however since this filename will be dynamic we cannot do this. In addition we cannot just rename the file to a static name in the Unix script as we need to know the value of the date and time from the file ID in the ABAP program. I can change the ABAP program to check our /in directory for a Filename that starts with the fixed File ID however I thought there must be a better way of doing this. We want the external company to put this information in a file header record but they don't want to change the file contents. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sinead.

You could follow the following method
1.Let the external file reside in the SAP application layer in a defined path e.g. /usr/sap/tmp/interface/working/
2.Write an ABAP program which will include the following steps:-
i) read all files in the file path using function module EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING
ii) Read the data from files existing in the directory using OPEN_DATASET statement
iii) After the files have been read move the files to another directory e.g. /usr/sap/tmp/interface/backup/ or you can delete the file.
3.Schedule this program to be executed depending on the frequency of the external file being generated.

Reading long text from excel file to an internal table

Hi
Can any body tell me how to read long text from excel file to an internal table.
When i am using this FM KCD_EXCEL_OLE_TO_INT_CONVERT then it is reading only 32 characters from each cell.
But in my excel sheet in one of the cell has very long text which i need to upload into a internal table.
may i know which FM or what logic i need to use for this problem.
Regards

Hi,
Here is an example program. It will upload an Excel file with two columns. You could also assign the Excel structure dynamically, but I wanted to keep the example simple. The main point is that the internal table (it_excel in this example) must match the Excel structure that you want to convert.
Remember, this is just an example to help you figure out how to properly use the technique. It will certainly need to be modified to fit your requirements, and as always there may be a better way to get the Excel converted... this is just one possibility that has worked for me in the past.

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.

Inputting an object of class Student into a program from a file

Hi,
I need to read in objects of a class called "Student" from a file.
The Student class looks like this:
import java.io.Serializable;
public class Student implements Serializable
private int id;
private String lastName;
private String firstName;
private double gpa;
public Student(int a, String b, String c, double d)
id = a;
lastName = b;
firstName = c;
gpa = d;
public int getId()
return id;
public String getlastName()
return lastName;
public String getfirstName()
return firstName;
public double getgpa()
return gpa;
public String toString()
return "ID: " + id + " FIRST NAME: " + firstName + " LAST NAME: " + lastName + " GPA: " + gpa;
I know how to read text from a file, however I do not know how to read an object from a file. I know that the class has to be serializable in order to read in the objects, however I am having trouble reading and saving the objects read into a variable.
Can someone explain or give a same algorithm to do this?
Thanks,
Jackson

Hi,
You will have to use java.io.FileInputStream class to create a file stream where you will be storing the object state and and java.io.ObjectInputStream to actually dump the object state into it.
Further, you have to use java.io.FileOutputStream and java.io.ObjectInputStream to open the file and read back the object state into the Student objects. However, you have to explicitly cast them into Student objects since the return type for the readObject() method is java.lang.Object.
Here is the code where I serialized 2 Student objects and un-serialized them back into the program. (You can do this within different programs, or even different JVM instances).
class serializeDemo
     public static void main(String args[])
          Student s1 = new Student(11, "Hanks", "Tom", 8.55); //creating a student
          Student s2 = new Student(22,"Pitt", "Brad", 7.87); //another student
          try
               // SERIALIZE STUDENT DATA
               FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream("studentSer.ser");
               ObjectOutputStream os = new ObjectOutputStream(fo);
               os.writeObject(s1);
               os.writeObject(s2);
               System.out.println("The student objects have been serialized");
               os.close();
               //UN-SERIALIZE THE SERIALIZED DATA
               FileInputStream fi = new FileInputStream("studentSer.ser");
               ObjectInputStream oi = new ObjectInputStream(fi);
               Student s1_recovered = (Student)oi.readObject();
               System.out.println("Object S1 recovered : " + s1_recovered.getfirstName() + " " + s1_recovered.getlastName());
               Student s2_recovered = (Student)oi.readObject();
               System.out.println("Object S2 recovered : " + s2_recovered.getfirstName() + " " + s2_recovered.getlastName());
               oi.close();
          catch(Exception e)
               e.printStackTrace();
}You can actually try printing the contents of the studentSer.ser file and you will find the object members and their values separated by some non-printable text.

Removing or destroying an ABAP program from memory

Hello!
Is there a command to kill, unload, remove or destroy a previously called ABAP program from memory? Let me explain what I'm trying to do:
I'm doing some WM developments and I use the function L_TO_CONFIRM to confirm transfer orders. This function belongs to function group L03B (program SAPLL03B) and eventually it makes external calls to subroutines belonging to program SAPML03T.
If my Z program calls this funcion, the SAPLL03B program is responsible for loading SAPML03T into memory and everything works fine. The loaded programs list (on the debugging menu) are like this:
No     Program          Group with
52     SAPLL03B
78     SAPML03T      52
This is also what I get if testing L_TO_CONFIRM from SE37, where it also works.
But I wanted to reuse some subroutines from SAPML03T on my Z program, so I call something like this:
PERFORM set_quit_icon(sapml03t) ...
This call happens before the function call, so SAPML03T gets loaded by my Z program first, and stays on the memory. The list of loaded programs then looks like this:
No     Program          Grouped with
1     ZWMO_023
27     SAPML03T       1
So after calling the external subroutine in SAPML03T, I do some more coding and finally call the function L_TO_CONFIRM. Inside this call, my list looks like:
No     Program          Group
1     ZWMO_023 => My Z program
27     SAPML03T       1
28     SAPLL03B
So SAPML03T is grouped with my Z program and not SAPLL03B as it would be if I hadn't called the external subroutine first.
Now, the problem:
Since SAPML03T and SAPLL03B apparently share some global data (at least global workarea/table LTAK), in a normal call (SAPML03T)LTAK gets filled by a select statement and instantly (and somewhat inexplicable from what I new until now) (SAPLL03B)LTAK also gets filled by the same data. Well, I've only seen stuff like this with field-symbols but this is not the case. I would bet this two workareas would always be in fact two different workareas, but during the straight function call they are not. They are the same (I wish I could find their pointer addresses (like C++ stuff) to prove they were the same, but I couldn't). But if I call the external subroutine first and SAPML03T gets loaded, then I do have two different LTAKs and that's where I have problems, because L_TO_CONFIRM was coded considering this single workarea thing and when I have two, it doesn't work.

Yes, I tought about that.
As a matter of fact, just last week we had another global memory issue in a costing user-exit and we tried solving it with a STARTING NEW TASK. This initialy solved our problem, but this command leads to the opening of a new gui session, and when running this cost calculation procedure in the background, a short dump COMMUNICATION FAILURE was raised, probably because of the lack of a SAP GUI link. We then used DESTINATION 'NONE' and this solved the problem (I think it also opens a new LUW).
Also my WM problem is on a Z application that will be running under SAP Console, and I don't think opening a new GUI session with STARTING NEW TASK under SAP Console will work. I should try it anyway. - edited: I just remebered I did this a couple years go and it works
I could use DESTINIATION 'NONE' in this case too, since the funcion module is RFC-enabled already. There are a few ways to solve the problem (which is already solved by the way). My main question still is about removing a whole program from SAP memory through ABAP commands.
Thank you very much!

This is a possible solution to your problem.

 public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{
 //retrieve the commandline parameters
 String fileName = "default.html";
 if (args.length != 0) fileName =args[0];

 System.out.println("Usage : java AddressExtractor <htmlfile>");
 System.exit(0);
 BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File(fileName)));

 int i;
 while (st.ttype != StreamTokenizer.TT_EOF) {
 i = st.nextToken();
 if (st.ttype == StreamTokenizer.TT_WORD) {
 if (st.sval.equals("href")) {
 i = st.nextToken(); //the next token (assumed) is the '=' sign
 i = st.nextToken(); //then after it is the href value.
 getURL(st.sval); //retrieve address
 in.close();
 static void getURL(String s) {
 //Check string if it has http:// and truncate if it does
 if (s.indexOf("http://") > -1) {
 s = s.substring(s.indexOf("http://") + 7, s.length());
 //check if not mailto: do not print otherwise
 if (s.indexOf("mailto:") != -1) return;
 //printout anything after http:// and the next '/'
 //if no '/' then print all
 if (s.indexOf('/') > -1) {
 System.out.println(s.substring(0, s.indexOf('/')));
 } else System.out.println(s);
}Hope this helps. I used static methods instead of encapsulating everyting into a class.
