Read rtf from dataset

I do have a rtf file stored on dataset
I'd like to read the rtf file and replace some tags within the file...
How can I should I read the file so that the content of the internal table is understandable
thkx in advance

Hi,
You can use open dataset,Read dataset, write dataset and close dataset to do the canges in your rtf file.
i am sending one example below:
DATA :
w_fname(60) TYPE c VALUE 'yh1059_bkpf.rtf'.
OPEN DATASET w_fname FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
 DO.
 READ DATASET w_fname INTO fs_bkpf.
 IF sy-subrc <> 0.
 EXIT.
 ELSE.
 APPEND fs_bkpf TO t_bkpf.
 ENDIF. " IF sy-subrc <> 0.
 ENDDO. " Do
ELSE.
 WRITE sy-subrc.
ENDIF. " IF sy-subrc = 0.
CLOSE DATASET w_fname.

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>
Thanks

Read rtf contents from xml file and print them in pdf using documaker

I am using Documaker 11.2.
Input file is XML and for a particular tag, rtf contents is passed like
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033\deflangfe1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fprq2\fcharset0 Arial Narrow;}} \viewkind4\uc1\pard\b\f0\fs20 My\b0 name is Schoo.....
I want to read this data excluding the RTF abstract and print the text alone in pdf along with format like paragraph,bold....
The output file generated is PDF.
Kindly let me know how can i achieve this in Documaker.

There is no direct support for importing RTF from an XML extract. Perhaps feature 1514 "Mapping formatted XML data into multiline field" will be of some use. This was released in 11.0, I believe.
Essentially you can establish paragraph and certain text formatting like bold and underline when you include the proper token information in the data. I believe this is similar to simple HTML tokens.
Example: <FIELD>First paragraph of data.New paragraph with bold and underline text. Rest of paragraph normal.</FIELD>
The result is something like this:
First paragraph of data.New paragraph with bold and underline text. Rest of paragraph normal.

If I am not wrong you are working on a Unicode enabled system. That is why this error is coming.
Look at the link below, where the solution is provided.

Open Data Set Error while trying to read file from non SAP server

Hi all,
is it possible to read data from non-SAP application Sever?
I'm using OPEN DATASET p_filin FOR INPUT IN LEGACY TEXT MODE CODE PAGE '1504',
Where p_filin is other Windows server.Our applicition server is under Unix.Is it a problem?
I make test to read file from SAP application server and it was ok.So how to call other server?
Thanks!

Hi,
Yes it is possible to read data from a non SAP server through the statement OPEN DATASET.
The important thing to check is that the SAP Server got enough access to the non SAP server so it can perform a reading/writing process depending on your needs.
You should contact your network administrator and BASIS to help you check the permissions. This can be pretty tricky, specially if the servers are in different domains.

Problem to read data from application server.

read dataset reads data only up tp 255 char.
her i want to read more data .
and i am executing that in background so i can not use gui_upload then what is the solution.

Read datasets should be able to read any length. Are you sure it is not your program that is truncating it?
GUI_UPLOAD is a FM to read files from the presentation server (your PC), at the end, it performs READ DATASET anyways.
Please provide code example.

Read File From A Different Server

Hello Friends,
We have a file (.txt) sitting in a server (not the application server) and there is a requirement to read data from this file into R/3. Manually, one needs a username and password to access this file as the server in which it resides is connected to a network. Now, what are my options? How can I do this? Please let me know!
Thanks,
Sam

If the server has FTP capability, you could connect via FTP to get the file and place it on the application server. Another option is to have the folder in which the file resides NFS mounted to your app server, the the file is visible to your ABAP program and can be processed using OPEN/READ/CLOSE DATASET.

Dynamically Reading Files From Application Server

Hi Experts,
Presently I have to write a program which reads files from the application server dynamically. This program will be scheduled in the background with the frequency of half an hour.
I am Using the function module
CALL FUNCTION 'SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST'
EXPORTING
DIRNAME = '/usr/sap/xxx/xxx/'
FILENM = 'DATASET'
PATTERN = '.txt'
TABLES
FILE_LIST = IT_FILELIST
I am facing problem in specifying the parameter FILENM in the function module,
As I have to read many files from the apps server. How to assign the parameter of function module so it can take the many files generated in the apps server.
Thanks in Advance,

Problem with partial reads of HDF5 dataset

I'm having a problem figuring out how to to a partial read of an HDF5 dataset using LVHDF5 by Jason S. I can save a dataset in a file, and I can read it out whole, but I can't figure out how to read a portion of it. For example
I save a 235x235x1024 dataset in a file. I want to read a 5x5x1024 array from this dataset. I am trying the following:
- use H5Dopen.vi to open the dataset
- use H5Dget_space.vi to get a reference to a dataspace that I assume (guess) is the dataspace associated w/ the dataset
- use H5Sselect_hyperslab.vi to select my 5x5x1024 portion using the "block" input. My starting location is 0,0,0 and stride and count are 1,1,1
- use Create Matching DataSpace.vi to create a dataspace that is 5x5x1024 in size, with the same datatype as my dataset (float).
- read the data in the "hyperslab" into an array using H5Dread.vi followed by the Variant to Data function.
If I don't wire the file space input, H5Dread.vi reads the whole dataset. However, if I try to use the reference obtained w/ H5Dget_space.vi as the file space, I get an error from Variant to Data that says "The data type of the variant is not compatible with the data type wired to the type input.".
I would appreciate any help in getting this to work.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Aha. I found my problem. I have to use H5Dselect_hyperslab in my memory space as well as my file space.
