READ DATASET fails!

Hi,
data: dsn(95) value '/usr/sap/U6B/D85/work/jana10'.    "dsn data is filled by another program
DATA: BEGIN OF STR,
         STLNR LIKE STZU-STLNR,
         CNTRL,
      END OF STR.        " this is a pure character type structure
OPEN DATASET DSN IN TEXT MODE FOR OUTPUT ENCODING UTF-8.
READ DATASET DSN INTO STR.
Read always fails in here with subrc = 4.
Any idea what i have to change to get this working?
Thanks,
Ashvini.

Hello Ashvini

Upload xml file from aplication server using read dataset, parser error.

Hi,
I would like to upload xml file from app. server but parser failed. If I upload this xml file from workstation (using ws_upload) it is correct. For uploading xml file from app. server I use open dataset... read dataset. In loop section I remove '#' char. How do You upload xml file from app server? What Could be incorrect.
I try to open dataset in binary mode, text mode...
TYPES: BEGIN OF xml_line,
        data(255) TYPE c,
      END OF xml_line.
DATA: gt_xml_table TYPE TABLE OF xml_line,
      gs_xml_structure TYPE xml_line,
      gv_xml_table_size TYPE i.
OPEN DATASET s FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE e001(zet) WITH '....'.
ENDIF.
DO.
    READ DATASET s INTO gs_xml_structure.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      EXIT.
    ELSE.
     len = STRLEN( gs_xml_structure ).
     len = len - 1.
     check len > 0.
     WRITE gs_xml_structure(len) TO gs_xml_structure.
      APPEND gs_xml_structure TO gt_xml_table.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.

You Can do this too
parameters: p_file like rlgrap-filename.
data: subrc like sy-subrc.
create object me.
REFRESH t_data.
* Open XML File
CALL METHOD me->CREATE_WITH_FILE
    EXPORTING
      filename = p_file
    RECEIVING
      retcode = subrc.
* Saves Data in an itab from XML File.
CALL METHOD me->get_data
    IMPORTING
      retcode    = subrc
    CHANGING
      dataobject = t_data[].

Open dataset fails...says "error opening input file"

Hi,
I am trying to open a file in my BDC program and get the following error "error opening input file". Its a text file with continuous data. No delimiters and hence character count will be used to parse the data.
I am using the following statement to open it..
OPEN DATASET p_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
but sy-subrc is set to 8 !!
what could be the problem ??
thanks

This is pretty confusing !!I would explain to you my exact issue !!
I have a program in which there is no GUI_UPLOAD call but just a direct open dataset statement !!
This program runs fine for my collegue who has the file in a server (not the application server). She gives the full path name as
servername\foldername\filename.
I tried doing the same but as I did not have access to that server, it failed. So I received that file from her and stored it in my local system. So on program execution, i gave the path as c:\filename and I got the error message "Error opening the file"
Find below some code extracts..
PARAMETERS : p_sname TYPE d0100_mapn ,
             p_file(136) TYPE c ,
FORM open_file .
*open file in textmode
OPEN DATASET p_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
    DO.
    Read the file data and tranfer to workarea to internal table
      READ DATASET p_file INTO x_legacy_rec.
Please help in debugging this issue !!
thanks

Problem with READ DATASET when reading file from app server

Hi,
wondering if anyone can help, I'm using the following code to read from a file on app server, the file is of type .rtf
OPEN DATASET file_rtf FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE
ENCODING DEFAULT
WITH SMART LINEFEED.
DO.
READ DATASET file_rtf INTO string.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
the open dataset part works sy-subrc = 0, but the read returns sy-subrc = 8 and no data is passed to string.
Any ideas as to what is causing this problem appreciated, <removed>

Help!!! T61 Blue Screen--unmountable boot volume-- error code 0000: Read verification failed

My computer is T61 (8891CT), but Blue Screen came out and reported--unmountable boot volume. I ran the diagnostic program and got the error code 0000: Read verification failed. I can’t run anything now including the restore and rescue. Has the hard drive died?
If the hard drive has died, I have to change the hard drive, but how to transfer the system (I don’t have any CD) and think vantage software? Thank you very much for you help.

Hi equalefk,
Yes, definitely sounds like it's time to replace the HDD.
Hope it helps.

# problem while reading dataset from application server.

hi all,
I uplodaed a text file which is tab delimeted, to the application server using transaction code cg3z directly. now that file is stored with # in place of tab(space) in application server.
my broblem is that when i am reading that file using READ DATASET its comming with that # symbol also.
how i split that dataset .
or if there is any other solution ,like openning file into another mode,
help me.
thank uou

Hi Pawan..
you can access the Tab character using CL_CHAR_ABAP_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB
Do like this After READ DATASET.
DATA : V_RECORD(100).
DO.
READ DATASET P_FILE INTO V_RECORD.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
SPLIT V_RECORD INTO FIELD1 FIELD2 SEPARATED BY <b>CL_CHAR_ABAP_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.</b>
<<<<further operations here>>>>
ENDDO.
reward if Helpful.

Error Message while executing
What happened?
    At the conversion of a text from codepage '4110' to codepage '4102':
    - a character was found that cannot be displayed in one of the two
    codepages;
    - or it was detected that this conversion is not supported
    The running ABAP program 'ZHDI_LOMM_VEHI_MAT_MASS_CREATE' had to be terminated
     as the conversion
    would have produced incorrect data.
    The number of characters that could not be displayed (and therefore not
    be converted), is 449. If this number is 0, the second error case, as
    mentioned above, has occurred.
Error analysis
    An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE', was not
     caught in
    procedure "F_DATA_UPLOAD" "(FORM)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
    exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:
    Characters are always displayed in only a certain codepage. Many
    codepages only define a limited set of characters. If a text from a
    codepage should be converted into another codepage, and if this text
    contains characters that are not defined in one of the two codepages, a
    conversion error occurs.
    Moreover, a conversion error can occur if one of the needed codepages
    '4110' or '4102' is not known to the system.
    If the conversion error occurred at read or write of screen, the file
    name was '/usr/sap/interfaces/conversion/pioneer/ddm/data/test_data1.xls'.
     (further information about the file: "X 549
     24064rw-rw----200812232135082008122307293120081223072931")
Please help me
Thank You

READ DATASET

Hi Friends,
I'm getting problem in reading only 100 records from the application server using the READ DATASET statement. The file on the application server may have 8000 records but i wanted to get only 100 records and process them. Then i wanted to get next 100 records from the file stored on app.server and process and so on.
After I get the 100 records, I wanted to do further operations such as putting them into a custom table.
Will the below code work?
DATA l_item(100) type c.
*Open the .DAT file for reading
OPEN DATASET p_file1 FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8 MESSAGE
x_error.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
*An error occured during opening the dataset !
    MESSAGE x_error TYPE 'E'.
    CLEAR x_error.
ENDIF.
DO.
*Read the .DAT file into an internal table
    READ DATASET p_file1 INTO l_item.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
*split the records into data fields based on delimiter ','
*then append the current record to an internal table
      SPLIT l_item AT ',' INTO
                               x_item-inv_item_id
                               x_item-intl_aa_nbr
                               x_item-intl_pba_nbr
                               x_item-intl_ta_nbr
                               x_item-intl_product_code
                               x_item-descr254
                               x_item-intl_stck_id
                               x_item-awr_disallowed_flg

                               x_item-stock_cat_id.
      APPEND x_item TO i_item.
      CLEAR x_item.

Hi,
If you want to process every 100 records once, you can in ways.
1.
DO.
*Read the .DAT file into an internal table
    READ DATASET p_file1 INTO l_item.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
*split the records into data fields based on delimiter ','
*then append the current record to an internal table
      SPLIT l_item AT ',' INTO
                               x_item-inv_item_id
                               x_item-intl_aa_nbr
                               x_item-intl_pba_nbr
                               x_item-intl_ta_nbr
                               x_item-intl_product_code
                               x_item-descr254
                               x_item-intl_stck_id
                               x_item-awr_disallowed_flg
                               x_item-returnable_flg
                               x_item-fulfillment_flg
                               x_item-refund_only_flg
                               x_item-prod_returnable_flg
                               x_item-stock_cat_id.
      APPEND x_item TO i_item.
      CLEAR x_item.
      lv_count = lv_count + 1.
     if lv_count = 100.
       perform process 100 records.
        clear: lv_count, x_items.
        refresh x_items.
    endif.
    ELSE.
*Data was read and the end of the file was reached
      MESSAGE i006.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.
2.   Download all records into an internal table once.
then loop internaltable.
data: lv_count type i,
         lv_count1 type i,
         lv_previous type i.
lv_count = lv_count + 1.
lv_count1 = lv_count1 + 1.
if lv_count1 < = 100.
copy 100 records into another internal table2.
else.
     lv_previous = lv_count - lv_previous.
if lv_previous = 100.
    process records.
   clear: lv_count1, internal table2.
   refresh internal table2
endif.
endif.
endloop.

I installed itunes and quick time but when I try to open itunes I get a message that reads "quicktime failed to initialize (error -2096)"

I installed itunes and quick time but when I try to open itunes I get a message that reads "quicktime failed to initialize (error -2096). I have removed both itunes and quicktime from my computer and re-installed them and I still get the same message. What do I do to get itunes to work?

Read dataset - read data randomly

Dear All,
I am facing a strange problem while reading data through READ DATASET statement.
The data is getting read randomly from the file.
For example, if my text file contains 10,000 records, i am able to see around 800 in my internal table.
Also, with read dataset statement, sometimes first record gets read, second time fifth record and so on. There is no particular order.
Read dataset statement is skipping a lot of records while reading data from the file.
Has anyone face this problem earlier?
Any clue in this direction will be highly appreciated.
Many thanks.
Best Regards,
Tarun

Hi,
how you are looking your input file, if it is in NOTEPAD check menu option 'Format----> Word wrap' is unchecked and then see the how many entries are there in the file.

Upload read dataset only one line

hi all
i have a problem, i want to upload a file from applikation server. When i want to read dataset into a xstring field,
it read only the first line not all why?
here is my code
type-pools dset.
data lf_filename type string value '/opt/interface/indtrans/d58_sst/integrale/output/PLU.plu'.
data lf_line type xstring.
data lf_str_line type string.
data lf_hex_code type swxmlcont.
data lt_attr type dset_attributes.
start-of-selection.
open dataset lf_filename for input in binary mode.
do.
    read dataset lf_filename into lf_line.
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      exit.
    else.
*      get dataset lf_filename attributes lt_attr.
      append lf_line to lf_hex_code.
    endif.
enddo.
close dataset lf_filename.
thx abap_begin....

that to be functional, but when i read with the file with cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload with file Typ "BIN"
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
     EXPORTING
       FILENAME                = l_filename
       FILETYPE                = 'BIN'
*      HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR     = SPACE
*      HEADER_LENGTH           = 0
     IMPORTING
       FILELENGTH              = l_size
*      HEADER                  =
     CHANGING
       data_tab                = lt_data
     EXCEPTIONS
       FILE_OPEN_ERROR         = c_not_found
       FILE_READ_ERROR         = 3
       INVALID_TYPE            = 4
       NO_BATCH                = 5
       GUI_REFUSE_FILETRANSFER = 7
       others                  = 99.
i becam a other result then, when i read with
open dataset lf_filename for input in binary mode.
why?
Now i have a idea, i read the file value in text mode and save this in an internal table.
Then make the loop over table, and convert the value in identical princple such as cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload with the filetype "BIN".
I dont' know, how you do this?
thx abap_begin

Explain why READ DATASET conversion from codepage '4110' to codepage '4102'

I am unfamiliar with unicode but I am trying to solve a problem in an ABAP program.
Our code is
OPEN DATA p_in FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
DO.
READ DATASET p_in INTO i_tab.
The program gives me the error 'At the conversion of a text from codepage '4110' to codepage '4102'. The program abends on a line in the file that contains the special character '#'.
Does this mean that the file I am reading is in codepage '4110' and the internal format of i_tab is codepage '4102'? If so, how do the codepages get assigned to unix files and internal structures How can I make the both codepage '4110' or codepage '4102'? Also, what is the difference between these two codepages?
thanks.
