Error while uploading a textfile into internal table.

Hello,
i am uploading a textfile into an internal table and i have used the 'CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload' for uploading of the file into the internal table. But instead i am getting sumthing lyke
CTTL#1001#BANK-0014393-PP-LHR#|#2000#112312#CCL00#29.08.2006#|Cash In . I have the following internal table,
[code]
begin of ls_cashrec,
 bukrs type char30, " company code
 cjnr type char30, " cash journal number
 cjtranstxt type char30, " business transaction
 cjamount type wrbtr, " amount
 dzuonr type char30, " assignment
 prctr type char6, " profit center
 budat type sy-datum, " posting date
 cjpostext type char30, " text
end of ls_cashrec.
and
DATA:
gt_cashrec TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ls_cashrec.
where am i wrong ?
Regard and Thanks,
Shehryar

Hi again,
1. The best thing is that the
 data format in text file is
 YYYYMMDD (8 characters only)
(Then in that case, we can directly
declare our field in internal table type sy-datum.
2. Other wise,
 we have to declare the field in internal table
 as character format and length
 (based upon the text file field length,
 including DOTS / etc)
Then we have to finally convert in YYYYMMDD
format in to other field,
which we will finally use as sy-datum field.

How to batch upload PDF files into database BLOB

Hello.
I have a requirement to batch upload PDF files into BLOB column of an Oracle 8.1.7 table from Forms 6i Web. The content of the blob column (ie. the PDF content) MUST be displayable from all client software (eg. Oracle Web forms, HTML forms, etc.)
Our environment is
Middle-tier is 9iAS on Windows/2000
Database is Oracle 8.1.7.0.0 on VMS
Oracle Web Forms 6i Patch 10
Basically my Oracle web form program will display a list of PDF files to upload and then the user can click on the <Upload> button to do the batch upload. I have experimented the following approaches but with no luck.
1. READ_IMAGE_FILE forms built-in = does NOT work because it cannot read PDF file. I got error FRM-47100: Cannot read image file
2. OCX and OLE form item = cannot use this because it does NOT work on the Web. I got error FRM-41344 OLE object not defined
3. I cannot use DBMS_LOB to do the load because the PDF files are not in the database machine.
4. Metalink Note 1682771.1 (How to upload binary documents back to database blob column from forms). When I used this, I got ORA-6502 during the hextoraw conversion. In using this solution, I have downloaded a bin2hex.exe from the Google site. I've noticed that when I looked at the converted HEX file, each line has the character : (colon) at the beginning of each line. I know the PDF file has been converted correctly to HEX format because when I convert the HEX file back to BIN format using hex2bin.exe, I'm able to display the converted bin file in Acrobat Reader. When I removed the : (colon) in the HEX file, I did NOT get the ORA-6502 error but I CANNOT display the file in Acrobat Reader. It gives an error "corrupted file".
5. upload facility in PL/SQL Web toolkit - I tried to automatically submit the html form (with htp.p) but it does NOT load the contents of the file. I called the URL from Oracle forms using web.show_document. There seems to be issues with Oracle Web forms (JInitiator) and HTML (+ htp.p).
The other options I can think of at this point are:
1. Use SQL*Loader to do the batch upload via SQL*Net connection and use HOST() built-in from Oracle Webforms to execute SQL*Loader from the 9iAS.
2. Write a Visual Basic program that reads a binary file and output the contents of the file into a byte array. Then build a DLL that can be called from Oracle webforms 6i via ORA_FFI. I don't prefer this because it means the solution will only work for Windows.
3. Write a JSP program that streams the PDF file and insert the contents of the PDF file into blob column via JDBC. Call JSP from forms using web.show_document. With this I have to do another connection to the database when I load the file.
4. Maybe I can use dbms_lob by using network file system (NFS) between the application server and VMS. But this will be network resource hungry as far as I know because the network connection has to be kept open.
Please advise. Thank you.
Regards,
Armando

I have downloaded a bin2hex.exe from the Google site.
... each line has the character : (colon) at the
beginning of each line. I'm afraid it isn't a correct utility. I hope you'll find the source code of a correct one at metalink forum:
Doc ID: 368771.996
Type: Forum
Subject: Uploading Binary Files: bin2hex and hex2bin do not reproduce the same file
There is some links to metalink notes and some example about working with BLOB at http://www.tigralen.spb.ru/oracle/blob/index.htm. Maybe it helps. Sorry for my English. If there is any problem with code provided there, let me know by e-mail.

Problems while uploading text documents into Unicode Database

I just upgraded our database from 9iR1 to 9iR2 (9.2.0.1.0). The server
character set is AL32UTF8. Now I'm facing a problem when
uploading text documents into the database via a web frontend.
I use the upload table defined for the PL/SQL Database Access Descriptor:
create table TB_UPLOAD (
NAME VARCHAR2(256) not null,
MIME_TYPE VARCHAR2(128),
DOC_SIZE NUMBER,
DAD_CHARSET VARCHAR2(128),
LAST_UPDATED DATE,
CONTENT_TYPE VARCHAR2(128),
BLOB_CONTENT BLOB);
After uploading a text document containing the two words "hallo welt",
the following statement returns not "hallo welt", but "68616C6C6F2077656C74":
declare
b_loc blob;
v_amount integer := 100;
v_buffer varchar2(100);
v_offset integer := 1;
begin
select blob_content into b_loc from tb_upload where name like 'mydoc.txt';
dbms_lob.read(b_loc, v_amount, v_offset, v_buffer);
htp.prn(v_buffer);
end;
What is this? I studied the documentation, but didn't found a solution.
When trying to use Oracle's built-in procedure wpg_docload.download_file,
the content is shown the way it should be. Unfortunately, I can't use
wpg_docload.download_file in order to copy the BLOB content to another table.
Any hints would be appreciated!
Thanks so much in advance!

Hi Roman,
the upload uses a BLOB (Binary Lob). Your Document is
stored as is in the binary representation. If you
use dbms_lob.read on a blob and your buffer is a varchar2 the binary representation is not translated!!!
use a raw for the buffer and utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2
to do the conversion to varchar.
try this
Procedure SHOW_DOC(p_name doc_test.name%TYPE)
IS
v_len number;
v_mime_type tb_upload.mime_type%TYPE;
v_offset integer := 1;
v_Buf_size integer := 32767;
v_buf raw(32767);
v_blob blob;
v_Doc_name varchar2(1000);
BEGIN
v_doc_name := url_Decode(p_name);
select mime_type,doc_size,blob_content
into v_mime_Type,v_len,v_blob
from tb_upload
where name = v_doc_name;
OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER(v_Mime_Type);
begin
LOOP
DBMS_LOB.READ(v_blob,v_buf_size,v_offset,v_buf);
HTP.PRN(UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2(v_buf));
v_offset := v_offset + v_buf_size;

Hi all,
I am having a problem like,
My project uses the J2EE Application Model,
The problem is , if i made a entry to the site(project) in korean character set, the characterset was broken and gets stored into the database.I am using the korean characterset in the Oracle 8i.I guess there should be no problem with the database.The problem is with the parsing of characters by java applications.
Kindly advise me on the above....
Thanks,

I got ur point.
But the entire website is in korean language.
All the datas has to posted and populated in korean language.The insert of korean characters into the database is fine.The database accepts the korean encoding and gets stored properly.
I am getting problem, in dynamically generated pages, and problem while loading the database values into a combo box like that.

How to upload Sales Orders into B1 from an excel file?

Hi,
I'm a new comer. I'm looking for a program of uploading Sales Orders into B1 from an excel file. Where can I find a reference book for it? Or I appreciate if someone could offer a program sample.
Thanks
ZAP

Hello ZAP.
I do not have such code, but i this link /people/janos.nagy/blog/2010/01/25/exporting--importing-authorization-using-ms-excel-in-sap-b1 you can find an excel example about authorization, and using Single Sign On (SAP B1 must have run with excel)
The method is similar, you can run any DI API operation from excel.
Here is an example to add a sales order
Dim oDoc As SAPbobsCOM.Documents = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oOrders)
 oDoc.CardCode = CUSTOMER_CODE
 oDoc.DocDate = Today
 oDoc.DocDueDate = Today
 oDoc.Lines.SetCurrentLine(0)
 oDoc.Lines.ItemCode = ITEMCODE
 oDoc.Lines.Quantity = QTY
 oDoc.Lines.UnitPrice = PRICE
 If oDoc.Add <> 0 Then
 MsgBox("Error " + oCompany.GetLastErrorDescription())
 Else
 MsgBox("SAles order added")
 End If
You can repeat the setcurrentline section as many time as lines you have in the SO:

Uploading & Downloading Files into DMS Server using Web Dynpro Java

Hello Friends,
 I want to Upload a file from Portal to Document Management Server and to Download a file from Document Management Server to Portal, In short, I want to give the user the facility to Upload a File into DMS Sever via Portal and also to download the file from DMS Sever via Portal.
Can anybody give me a Input for the same from Both Java Development End as well as ABAP End, more inputs are required from ABAP end, since i have a very less ABAP Experience on working with DMS. Few Questions i have in my mind?
1. How to actually access the file contents with the help of Document Number?
2. With the help of Doc-Number we can extract the file from DMS sever but to provide a option for downloading in portal, the RFC should convert the File Contents into X-String or is there some other way?
+3. While Uploading the Data should be given in Which format to RFC? Are there any limitation with respect to size or formats. Is there any Standard RFC i can use directly in WD4 Java application to upload the file into DMS Server and which will return me the Document Number? +
Please give me your valuable inputs.
Thank You.

Can any1 help me plzzzz??? Would appreciate any kind of help.
Thanks in advance.

Sai Krishna.

I would guess that this is because of the way you try to read the file contents. Maybe you should add some debug statements to find out what you're realling setting as content. It's certainly not KM's fault.
The following sequence of statements looks wrong:
nt len = (int) f.length();
byte a[] = new byte[len];
FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(f);
fin.read(a);
String FileContent = a.toString();
IPortalComponentRequest request =
(IPortalComponentRequest) this.getRequest();
com.sapportals.portal.security.usermanagement.IUser user =
(com.sapportals.portal.security.usermanagement.IUser) request.getUser().getUser();
IResourceFactory factory = ResourceFactory.getInstance();
IResourceContext context = new ResourceContext(user);
RID rid = RID.getRID("/documents/test");
IResource resource = factory.getResource(rid, context);
if (resource != null) {
ICollection parent =
(ICollection) ResourceFactory
.getInstance()
.getResource(
rid,
context);
String out = new String(FileContent);
ByteArrayInputStream data =
new ByteArrayInputStream(out.getBytes());
IContent content =
new Content(data, "text/html", data.available());
Why don't you just pass the FileInputStream into the Content object's constructor???

Is there a way to turn a text character into an image?

Is it possible to turn a text character into an image/shape...using Pages or any other iLife or iWorks app?
Reason being - I want to use a certain font and a character in it, but that particular font is not being recognized/shown properly by another computer. I want to make sure the text character shows up as I intend, and I figure the way to do that is by turning the text character into an image/shape (like a jpeg maybe? or a tiff or gif? I don't know too much about the difference between these last two). Then I can paste that image onto any background and have it still look like text laying on top of the background.
Hope that makes sense, and many thanks in advance for any insights!

Although it saves the text character as an image, it also saves the background (the white of the page) as part of that image. So when the character is pasted into a document whose background is anything other than white, it doesn't look like a simple text character anymore. It looks like a white box with a text character in it. You know what I mean?
I'm thinking I might need to use whole 'nother graphics program to do this whole deal...what do you think?
Rather than using Preview, create the new image from the clipboard in GraphicConverter & use the transparency wand to make the background transparent. Then use ⌘ E to select just the image & save, choosing to save just the selection.

Mass upload of BP into CRM

Hello!
I peform mass upload of BPs into CRM. I use FM BUPA_CREATE_FROM_DATA to create BP itself and BUPA_ADDRESS_ADD to save BP addresses and call these FMs in the same turn for each BP.
So, if I do that for 1-2 BPs, it works perfectly. All BP are saved in CRM with there addresses on COMMIT. As soon as the number of uploaded BP increases(between two commits), for example, up to 100, there is an error happens: E831(AM) in ADDR_MEMORY_SAVE.
As well as I understood, it happens because of address saving peformed before BP saving on commit. I tried first to save BPs only (with commit) and then their addresses, and it worked on mass upload without any error.
So, is there any idea about how to upload each BP with his address simultaneously without any error by mass upload?
Thank you.

You can upload millions of records using these function modules.Infact I am doing the same.
Make sure that the data structures,tables which are passed to the Function modules are cleared for each time and FM's should be in the below mentioned order.
BAPI_BUPA_CREATE_FROM_DATA
BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_ADD
BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT.

Uploading my photos into iPhoto from an external hard drive

I have all my old digital photos (approx 17GB) on an external hard drive. I would like to upload them in to iPhoto on my iMac (OS X 10.6.8)
Some questions:
How can I stop any duplicate photos being uploaded into iPhoto (I already have small number of the old photos in iPhoto)
How do I upload the photos into 'Events'? What is the difference between Events and Albums?
Do I need to rename the albums on the hard drive before I upload them with new album names?
How can I delete duplicate photos I already have in iPhoto?
and lastly the iMac is set up with 4 users accounts on it - how do I share (in iPhoto) all these newly uploaded photos with the other users
So many questions, but If I do it right now it will save me hrs of work sorting all the photos out and renaming them all when they are in iPhoto

and lastly the iMac is set up with 4 users accounts on it - how do I share (in iPhoto) all these newly uploaded photos with the other users
For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.
