Reading all the files from Application Server in a specific folder

Hi,
I want to read all the files present in a folder on Application Server ( AL11 ). My problem is that I do not know the name of the file but I know the folder path where files are present.
I need to go to this folder and pick up all the files present in this folder and then process these files in my program.
Can any one help me in this!
Regards,
Lalit

You can use a call to
C_DIR_READ_START'
and
CALL 'C_DIR_READ_NEXT'

Error in Reading the file from Application Server

Hi,
This Error is regarding one of my interface, the issue is that , the interface reads data from file in bunch suppose 100 records at a time , then processes those records and once finished go for next 100 records .
Noe the error is that , the process takes place till 500 records correctly but when it went to fetch for next 100 i.e fom 501 to 600 it selects only 501 to 583 .
this records has been processed successfully but the job finished there only
but the file contains 788 records
When the same file has been run in other server it ran successfully without such error .
Can you please suggest how to resolve the issue

Hi,
Try to manually download the file from application server using standard transactions, and than check how many records are you able to download from app. server.
I guess there might be something wrong with the format of 583rd record, which makes sap assume that the file has come to an end.
Hope this will help you.

Problem while dowloading the file from Application Server

Dear Experts,
I am facing the Problem while downloading the file from Application server.
We done the automatic function while saving the invoice, this will create an idoc, and this idoc is written in the Application Server.
I am running the Transaction AL11 and select the record, and from menu --> List, i am downloading into TXT format.
But for some segments, the length is long, and so the last 3 to 4 fields values are not appearing in the File. Even though i am unable to view the values in the file before downloading. But i can view in IDOC.
Please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Srini

but our user will use the Txn. AL11 and they will download from there
Educate the user On a serious note, tell him this is not how data from app server should be downloaded. You can ask him to talk to the basis team to provide him access to the app server folder where the file is being stored.
I can set the Variant and put this in background, But always the file name will be change, Like we use Time stamp in the File name.
You can't automate this process by scheduling in BG mode. This is because the in BG mode you can't dwld the file to presentation server.
Hope i'm clear.

Not recognizing # while reading the file from application server

Hi
I am reading a file from application server. While reading into internal table with read statement the last field in each record is filling with hash symbol in the last digit. If I write any if condition with HASH symbol its not going inside the if condition, means its not recognizing as hash may be its internally treating as some other. I need to remove the hash from that field. How I can do that.
Thanks,
kishore

I faced exact situation. Yes, internally its treated as some other special character. What i did was, becuase hash symbol was always coming at the end...i created a dummy field in my internal table so that it will not interfere with my actual data. When i see the data in my internal table, the hash always falls in the last field (dummy) which i will ignore. I could not get solution to remove this hash so i adopted this approach and it worked!!
Hope it helps,

Reading tab delimited file from application server

Hi All,
I do know that we need to use Open data set to read a file from application server, but my question is when you use read DATASET v_file into wa_final - this wa_final is an work area and also i have mentione an internal table. so do we need to Split the record at tab into the corresponding fields. Append the records into an internal table i_input.????
Please let me know on this....
thanks in advance....
Poonam....

Hi,
first see the file contents in application server, how the contents whether the contents seperated by any symbol or not, if the contents seperated by any symbol then you have to split the data before appending to internal table.
check this code.
DATA: l_data_string TYPE string.
filename = p_file.
OPEN DATASET p_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    DO.
      READ DATASET filename INTO l_data_string.
      IF sy-subrc NE 0.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
      CLEAR k_input.
      SPLIT l_data_string AT '#' INTO k_input-agreement k_input-suffix k_input-status
            k_input-first_name k_input-last_name k_input-job_title k_input-tel k_input-fax k_input-email_address k_input-mob_number.
      APPEND k_input TO i_input.
    ENDDO.
ENDIF.

And this is split by tab delimited and moved to other variables as shown above.
Please guide me how to read the contents without "#' from the file.
I have tried all possible ways and unable to get solution.
Thanks,
Shrikanth

Hi ,
In ECC 6 if all the unicode patches are applied then UTF 16 will defintly work..
More over i would suggest you to ist replace # with some other * or , and then try to see in debugging if any further # appears..
and no # appears then try to split now.
if even now the # appears after replace statement then try to find out what exactly is it... wheather it is a horizantal tab etc....
and then again try to replace it and then split..
Please follow the process untill all the # are replaced...
This should work for you..
Let me know if you further face any issue...

FM to get the file from application server to presenatation server automati

Hi!
In my upload program I am egtting the error log file onmy application server directly. Is there a function module or a way that in my abap code I can mention to bring the file or transfer the file to the presentation server . As my program is been run in the back ground so I cannot directly get the file on the presenattion server, so I need to bring it back on teh presentation server back to see teh eror log.
I would like my program to do the transfer in background itself so that I can see the error log on a daily basis from my local file .

SO , after reading all , I assume that there is no way in which when I run the background job and get a errro file on application server can be retrievd on my presenattion serevr during the background job run. I was thinking that theer might be a functionn module which will convert the application server file into presenttion server file during the program run in background and store it in the location provided.
I was trying to use FM CALL FUNCTION 'C13Z_APPL_TO_FRONT_END' and CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIVFILE_SERVER_TO_SERVER' but using teh first one asks for source file and destination file name during teh program run and as it runs in background it cannot be provided again and again and teh second one dosent seem to work.
Thanks

Regarding uploading the file from Application Server

I am trying to upload a .csv file to Application Server through CG3Z tcode.
But i am getting dump ad below..
What happened?
    While a text was being converted from code page '4102' to '1100', one
    the following occurred:
    - an character was discovered that could not be represented in one of
    the two code pages;
    - the system established that this conversion is not supported.
    The running ABAP program, 'SAPLC13Z' had to be terminated, since the
    conversion could cause incorrect data to be generated.
    1 characters could not be represented (and thus could not converted).
    If 1 = 0, a second or a different error has occurred.
Please let me know..how can i resolve this??
Thanks
Priyanka

Check if your CSV file is UNICODE encoding.
If CG3Z steel not works you can check on OSS SUPPORT if a note solve your problem.

Read a zip file from Application server.

Hi,
Is there a way to read a zip file from the applicatoin server to internal table in ABAP program? The operation system is running MS windows server. The zip file contains only 1 text file. I tried to use open dataset 'uncompress', and use read dataset, but read dataset gave me sy-subrc = 4. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

hi,
to convert xstring to text you can use this:
DATA unzipped_data TYPE xstring.
DATA text_data TYPE string.
DATA conv_x2c TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_in_ce.
conv_x2c = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create( ).
conv_x2c->convert( EXPORTING input = unzipped_data IMPORTING data = text_data ).
moreover, if you want to split your text at "end of line" (CR LF in microsoft windows) into lines:
DATA text_lines TYPE TABLE OF string.
SPLIT text_data AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf INTO TABLE text_lines.
