Read the names of the files in ABAP program that runs in the background

Hello,
I have a program that uploads information from file on application server.
What I can't figure still is how to get the <b>names </b>of the files that are in <b>specific directory</b>.
There is an other application that will post those files into this directory. I wont to get file names and file types from this directory and put it into an internal table.
File names are changing based on date and version.
Please keep in mind that the program runs in the background, (presentation server is not included in the process)
Thanks in advance,
Milan

Hi,
one epossible solution that i have used is:
1. Create an operating system comand with transaction SM69
command OS                              OS-command Parameter
ZDIR         Windows NT Customer cmd.exe          /C dir &
2. Call Functionmodul
CALL FUNCTION 'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE'
    EXPORTING
      COMMANDNAME                         = 'ZDIR'
      ADDITIONAL_PARAMETERS               = P_PARA1
OPERATINGSYSTEM                     = SY-OPSYS
TARGETSYSTEM                        = SY-HOST

STDERR                              = 'X'
TERMINATIONWAIT                     = 'X'
TRACE                               =
   IMPORTING
      STATUS                              = G_OK
EXITCODE                            =
    TABLES
      EXEC_PROTOCOL                       = GTBL_PROTO
   EXCEPTIONS
     NO_PERMISSION                       = 1
     COMMAND_NOT_FOUND                   = 2

     WRONG_CHECK_CALL_INTERFACE          = 5
     PROGRAM_START_ERROR                 = 6

     ILLEGAL_COMMAND                     = 11
     WRONG_ASYNCHRONOUS_PARAMETERS       = 12
     CANT_ENQ_TBTCO_ENTRY                = 13
     JOBCOUNT_GENERATION_ERROR           = 14
     OTHERS                              = 15
3. Loop at GTBL_PROTO and make your coding with the filenames
Hope this helps

Unzip files using ABAP program

Hi All,
Can anybody guide me how to Unzip a .zip file using ABAP program... Appreciate your immediate reply...
actually, my scenario is to check whether zip file is created in appl.server or not.., and if zip file created then i need to check whether its blank file or any content exist inside the file...
Thanks in advance
Bhasker

hi
good
parameters: command(236) lower case.
data: std_lines(255) occurs 0 with header line.
call function 'RFC_REMOTE_PIPE'
    destination 'SERVER_EXEC'
    exporting
      command = command
      read = 'X'
    tables
      pipedata = std_lines
    exceptions
      communication_failure = 1
      system_failure = 2.
You should put your Unix command in the command parameter. "gunzip /yourfilepath/yourfilename" works on my Unix system. Once you determine the proper Unix command, you should be set. This technique is also nice because it provides you with echos back from Unix in table std_lines. For more complex Unix activity, you may want to consider throwing together a Unix script, and calling that via this code.
reward point if helpful.

How to execute application server file from abap program

Hi Friends,
i have a requirement to execute application server file using abap program.
i got a file directory like '/home/im3/hrintf/xxx.sh' , it's of unix file, so they want me to execute through abap program.
pls suggest me with relevant logic.
Thank you.

Define the external command in SM49/SM69
Try with SXPG_CALL_SYSTEM or SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE

Extract Process Chain ID/Name that an embedded ABAP program is run from?

Hi all,
I have created some Process Chains in SAP BW where I have incorporated some ABAP program Process Types that uses the same ABAP program.
In these embedded ABAP program Process Types I need to extract the name of the Process Chain it runs from (ID, Technical Name, Descirption).
Is there any way this is possible to do?
One solutions that is not possible to implement (due to parallell runs of process chains that uses the same ABAP program) is the following:
search in table RSPCVARIANT for your program as follows
- field TYPE = "ABAP"
- field FNAM = "PROGRAM"
- field LOW = <program name>
take the value of field VARIANTE and use this in table RSPCPROCESSLOG (enter a date selection for BATCHDATE as well)
take the most recent entry (should be the one you're actually running at that moment)
via field LOG_ID, retrieve CHAIN_ID (technical name of your process chain) in table RSPCLOGCHAIN
So my question here is:
-Is there any way to extract the Process Chain ID/Name that an embedded ABAP program Process Type is run from?
Thanks beforhand for your feedback!
regards
Oddmar

Hi Erik,
I am stuck up with a similar requirement, wherein I have an ABAP program in my process chain and I need the technical name of the process chain in the ABAP program at run-time.
Did you get a solution or work-around for this scenario?
Thanks in advance.

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 to read characters from a text file in java program ?

Sir,
I have to read the characters m to z listed in a text file .
I must compare the character read from the file.
And if any of the characters between m to z is matched i have to replace it with a hexadecimal value.
Any help or suggesstions in this regard would be very useful.
Thanking you,
khurram

Hai,
The requirement is like this
There is an input file, the contents of the file are as follows, you can assume any name for the file.
#Character mappings for Japanese Shift-JIS character set
#ASCII character Mapped Shift-JIS character
m 227,128,133 #Half width katakana letter small m
n 227,128,134 #Half width katakana letter small n
o 227,129,129
p 227,129,130
q 227,129,131
r 227,129,132
s 227,129,133
t 227,129,134
u 227,129,135
v 227,129,136
w 227,129,137
x 227,129,138
y 227,129,139
z 227,129,142
The contents of the above file are to be read as input.
On encountering any character between m to z, i have to do a replacement with a hexadecimal code point value for the multibyte representation in the second column in the input file.
I have the code to get the unicode codepoint value from the multibyte representation, but not from a file.
So if you could please tell me how to get the characters in the second column, it would be very useful for me.
The character # is used to represent the beginning of a comment in the input file.
And comment lines are to be ignored while reading the file.
Say i have a string str="message";
then i should replace the m with the unicode code point value.
Thanking you,
khurram

How to read Production Order Long Text data in ABAP program

Hi friends,
I have the issue in reading the ' Long Text ' tab view data of production order
in CO03 transaction.Please can some body help me out to get this in ABAP program.
Regards,
Rajesh Akarte

ok goto the long text, double click it, or use the small pencil, so that you proceed to the text editor.
Once you are there, use the menu: goto->head
a small popup will come up, stating the information you need.
what you need is OBJECT, ID, Language and NAME.
with those information you can feed the FM READ_TEXT.
and woooohooo there you go

Output file from ABAP program

I am using the program Z_SAP_HIERARCHY_DOWNLOAD to output a hierarchy in BW to a specified drive. It works fine when I go to SE38 and run it. However, when I run it from a process chain, it doesn't output the file. How can I generate the output file by running the program from a Process Chain? Thanks.

Hello Uday,
i suppose if you run the program within a process chain it will be started
in a background process. All downloads via the SAPGUI onto your local
PC (or network drive) are not possible in the background because there is no
connection to your PC during the excecution of the report in the background.
Try to save the download on an accessible file system on the application server
and download it from there afterwards.
Which function module is used to download the data (GUI_DOWNLOAD or the older version WS_DOWNLOAD) in your report?
To save data on the application server use the ABAP statements
OPEN DATASET filename FOR OUTPUT    -> for creation of file
TRANSFER record TO filename                  -> for transfer of one record
CLOSE DATASET filename                        -> for closing the file

XML files from ABAP programs

Hi everyone!
Is there a way in ABAP to output XML files? Pls. send code/ function module if any.
From ABAP programs, we are sure that we can output TEXT files, but how about XML files?
The significance of this question is related
Currently we are using XI to interface SAP and AMS, this question for ABAP to produce XML file arose, if for example, the XI server is down and we have to still send data from one system to another. IDocs can also produce XML files, pls confirm. Earlier however, we have preferred XI rather than IDocs to do this. Anyway, any idea regarding this scenario will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and God bless!
