Reading the Excel from Content Server...

Hello Experts
I have a requirement to read the contents of the excel from DMS content server to Internal Table.
I tried using the function module "SCMS_DOC_READ", but it is reading only the part of the contents and remaining contents are missing in the Internal Table.
Is there any other way to read the content of excel file stored in content server.
Many Thanks in advance!!!
Regards,
Benu

Hi Christoph,
Many thanks for your reply...
Now I am using the same report for downloading the document from content server but my requirement is to read the contents directly from content server without downloading it to presentation server..
The function module mentioned in the above post is not reading the complete contents of the excel sheet.
Regards,
Benu

You can check the mode in which you are reading the file
from application server that is
Open Dataset in Binary or Text Mode.
Hope it helps

Error in reading the mails from POP3 server

Hi,
I am reading mails from the POP3 server using UTL_TCP package. I am able to retrieve .txt & .doc attachments successfully.
I am facing an error when I try to retrieve an attachment with a very long name (irrespective of the file type). Also, I am unable to retrieve .docx, .xls, .xlsx file types. I noticed similarity in the reasons for the error I am getting. I realized that if I try to retrieve an attachment with a very long file name or any of the above mentioned file formats (.docx, .xls, etc.), the "name" attribute of the attachment goes to the next line and hence I am going wrong somewhere in parsing that line.(The complete line comprises of : Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformatsofficedocument.wordprocessingml.document; name="test_attachment.docx")
I realized this pattern by doing executing Telnet commands to retrieve emails from POP3 server.
I am trying to parse the line I am talking about in the following manner:
IF line LIKE 'Content-Type: %;'
               THEN
                    IF line LIKE 'Content-Type: %; name=%'
                    THEN
                         PIPE ROW (line);
                    ELSE
-- This should only print the "Content-Type". But I get an error (pasted below) at this point
                         PIPE ROW (line);
-- To read the "name" attribute which comes on the next line. But this line never gets executed since I get an error in the previous statement
                         BYTES := UTL_TCP.available (socket);
                         BYTES := UTL_TCP.read_line (socket, line);
                         PIPE ROW (line);
                    END IF;
The error I get is :
ERROR:
ORA-29261: bad argument
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_ENCODE", line 29
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_ENCODE", line 251

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.

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,

What are the commands available to read a file from application server and

What are the commands available to read a file from application server and store the file into an internal table?

Hi,
To read a file from an Application Server to an Object there is a command in ABAP called <b>READ DATASET</b>. After that file is transported to that object you have to do a loop and put that data in an Internal Table.
This statement exports data from the file specified in dset into the data object dobj. For dobj, variables with elementary data types and flat structures can be specified. In Unicode programs, dobj must be character-type if the file was opened as a text file.
For dset, a character-type data object is expected - that is, an object that contains the platform-specific name of the file. The content is read from the file starting from the current file pointer. After the data transfer, the file pointer is positioned after the section that was read. Using the MAXIMUM LENGTH addition, the number of characters or bytes to be read from the file can be limited. Using ACTUAL LENGTH, the number of characters or bytes actually used can be determined.
In a Unicode program, the file must be opened with an arbitrary access type; otherwise, an exception that cannot be handled will be triggered.
If the file has not yet been opened in anon-Unicode program, it will be implicitly opened as a binary file for read access using the statement
OPEN DATASET dset FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
. If a non-existing file is accessed, an exception that can be handled can be triggered.
Influence of Access Type
Files can be read independently of the access type. Whether data can be read or not depends solely on the position of the file pointer. If the latter is at the end of the file or after the file, no data can be read and sy-subrc will be set to 4.
Influence of the Storage Type
The import function will take place irrespective of the storage type in which the file was opened with the statement OPEN DATASET.
If the file was opened as a text file or as a legacy text file, the data is normally read from the current position of the file pointer to the next end-of-line marking, and the file pointer is positioned after the end-of-line marking. If the data object dobj is too short for the number of read characters, the superfluous characters and bytes are cut off. If it is longer, it will be filled with blanks to the right.
If the file was opened as a binary file or as a legacy-binary file, as much data is read that fits into the data object dobj. If the data object dobj is longer than the number of exported characters, it is filled with hexadecimal 0 on the right.
If the specified storage type makes conversion necessary, this is executed before the assignment to the data object dobj. Afterwards, the read data is placed, byte by byte, into the data object.
System Fields
sy-subrc Meaning
0 Data was read without reaching end of file.
4 Data was read and the end of the file was reached or there was an attempt to read after the end of the file.
Thanks,
Samantak.

Problem in reading the excel file path in WINDOWs machine from UNIX environ

Hello friends,
My requirement is to read each row of the excel sheet and sent that row to the database. I have implemented it by using jxl and apache poi framework. locally in my WINDOWS machine it is working fine..
But when i deploy the code in UNIX machine. My application runs on a Unix server , trying to read the excel file in WINDOWS environment. I am not able to retrieve the file path. for ex : C:\Documents and Settings\sabbanik\My Documents\KARUNAKAR\excel.xls
I am getting error in this line
workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(filepath)
Error message : input file not found.
Thanks in advance..

You said: I am getting error in this line workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(filepath) >
Based on this, I will assume you are trying to use OLE to access information about the Excel file. As mentioned by Andreas, your code will be executing on the server (Unix) and since Excel isn't on the server (and cannot be) an error will result. OLE can only be used in Windows environments (client or server). To access client side OLE calls and content, you need a java bean and Excel installed on the client machine. Oracle provides WebUtil as an option to writing your own Java Bean. To use this, you will need to be running Forms 10.1.2 or newer. Details can be found here along with a demo:
