Routine to flatfile

Hello
Ive got a flat (csv) file and i want to make a datasource, but
its come like
abcederekasdjkasldasd : 2010-01-01 a 2010-02-01 ;;;;;;;;;;;; (line1)
;;;;;;;;;;;; (line2)
Field1;field2;;since_field;nr_filed;num2_filed;data;Doa;Sta;;;; (line3)
a;a;;b;21-01-2010 11:50:04;NULL;93;91;93;OUT;;;; (line4)
b;b;;b;21-01-2010 11:50:04;NULL;93;91;93;OUT;;;; (line5)
In datasource i can ignore the 3 lines
but, how can I do for it ignore:
1) the ";" starting by line1 and line2
how can i do to they ignore the last 4 " ; " ?
gracias

Hi
you need to manually remove them using excel or use ABAP code to do so.

Sample routine for dynamic flatfile selection in infopackage?

hello guys,
I tried to find one sample routine for Dynamic Flatfile selection at Infopackage level in forums,internet...but couldnot find it....(something like....we give one flatfile everyday...process chain runs everday...and whenever Infopackage executes...it selects that days flatfile basing on date or something and loads the data)....
can anyone give that sample routine ?
Thanks,
Rgards,

Hi,
You can select the dynamic flat file using routine at info package.
The routine here is to create dynamic file name, click the routine button beside the name of flat file.
create name and write the related code.
Eg: concatenate 'D:\BIFLATFILES\PRODUCTDATA_' SY-DATUM '.CSV' INTO P_FILENAME.
In this path you have to paste your file with name PRODUCTDATA_09.10.2009.CSV.
So if it is daily load we need change the file name with that date.Infopackage automatically picks up this file and loads the data.
Based on your requirement you need to change the code to select file with path.
Thanks,
Joseph

Routine in InfoPackage for flatfile loading

Hi Friends,
Can you give be possiblesolution for my scenario.
I am getting a flatfile from a Third Party source and I am loading the data into a Cube.
Recently, we have identified that we are getting duplicate data in the file for the same week.And I am calculating the Calweek based on that date.
For ex:For week 35, I have same data for date 07/23, 07/24,07/25.When I pull my report for that week, I am getting trippled data in my report.
So my requirement is to ignore two dates in that file and load only one date's data.
Can you tell me how to do that?
Thanks in advance
Priya

Adding additional key field will be the option in addition to writing some abap code. In your abap code, you could get the 0CALWEEK of the date field and store it in internal table when loading data, then every time you update, you need to read the internal table to make sure that the data is not updated, if it is, then you need to skip.
And also if you want to add key in your ods and but don't want to change the existing ods, then you can create another ods with overwrite option which will update to the ods you have now.
I would recommend changing key of the ods instead of using abap code which will make the loading process slower.
thanks.

Date Conversion Routine in Transfer Rules

Hi,
Could you help me writing ABAP code for converting date field MM/DD/YYYY in to
the same format. But my InfoObject is 8digit and displays into 10 digit DATS type Object. After loading data it is looking different formats at different loacations. Example:
Data input from Flatfile: 11/18/2007 (MM/DD/2007)
Data in PSA : 11/18/20
Data in ODS: 11/18/2020.

Syntax error while executing Key Figure routine

Hello,
I am posting my question again, as I have not got any solution. Please help it will be really appreciated. Here's the description
I am loading data from flatfile to an Infocube with 3 keyfigures: Sales Price , Sales Quantity, Sales Revune. Getting values for Sales Price and Salea Quantity from flatfile and calculating for Sales Revunue IO_VB_REV using routine
- I created Transformations, and under Rule Group: Standard Group box I have not mapped IO_VB_REV any datasource field and see 'X' sign against the field.
- In rules detail screen, I add two source fields of Rule , IO_VB_QU and IO_VB_PRC. I see IO_VB_REV already added under 'Target fields of Rule' section
- I then add the only following line to routine
RESULT = SOURCE_FIELDS_RULE-/BIC/IO_VB_QU * SOURCE_FIELDS_RULE-/BIC/IO_VB_PRC .
- Clicking on check button it gives no syntax error message. I save and exit back to Rule Details page.
- For IO_VB_REV field If I select any of 2 options i.e. Fixed Unit or No conversion it gives me a dump. So I select 'from conversion' option. In that case I enter USD against 'Conversion Type' field. It gives me information box popup with 'Incorrect Input Message'
- When check button hit on 'Rule Details' page, it gives me error message ' Syntax error in routine '
Why is it giving me syntax error, inspite of the fact that I get 'no syntax error' message on routine page. Also why am I getting short dumps on changing Conversion Type

Hi Olivier,
I really thank you for ur efforts in helping me solving this problem. Below is complete description of KF defined,
1. Created InfoObjects for Sales Quantity, Sales Price, Sales Revunue
Definition of Sales Quantity
Name: IO_VB_QU
Type/Data Type : Quantity
Data Type: QUAN - Quantity field, points to unit field with format UN
Currency / unit of measure
Unit / Currency: 0UNIT
Definition of Sales Price
Name: IO_VB_PRC
Type/Data Type : Amount
Data Type: CURR - Currency field, stored as DEC
Currency / unit of measure
Fixed Currency: USD
Definition of Sales Revunue
Name: IO_VB_REV
Type/Data Type : Amount
Data Type: CURR - Currency field, stored as DEC
Currency / unit of measure
Fixed Currency: USD
2. As the data is being read from flatfile, created DataSource with fields for Sales ID, Sales Price, Sales Quantity. As I am reading unit for quantity from file (has values EA,BOX,CSE), I have a corresponding field UNIT in DataSource. No field for Sales Revunue.
3. I use 'Create Transformation' functionality to automatically create transformations.
4. Rule Details page of each of 3 KFs has following values
Rule Details page of Sales Quantity
Rule Type: Direct Assignment
Aggregation : Summation
Target Unit: 0UNIT
Unit: from Source
Source Unit: UNIT
Source Fields of Rule: /BIC/IO_VB_QU, UNIT
Target Fields of Rule: 0UNIT, IO_VB_QU
Rule Details page of Sales Price
Rule Type: Direct Assignment
Aggregation : Maximum
Fixed Target Currency : USD
Currency: No Conversion
Source Fields of Rule: /BIC/IO_VB_PRC
Target Fields of Rule: IO_VB_PRC
Rule Details page of Sales Revunue
Rule Type: Routine
Aggregation : Summation
Fixed Target Currency : USD
Currency: from Conversion
Conversion Type: ??????.....(I entered USD it gives me Incorrect Input message)
Source Fields of Rule: /BIC/IO_VB_PRC, /BIC/IO_VB_QU, UNIT
Target Fields of Rule: IO_VB_REV
I have this line is the routine
RESULT = SOURCE_FIELDS_RULE-/BIC/IO_VB_QU * SOURCE_FIELDS_RULE-/BIC/IO_VB_PRC.
Let me know if u need any other info......
I really appreciate u trying to help me

I did like this:
I am accessing one external harddisk having BW-R3 software installed in it through VM Ware from my laptop.here I saved one flatfile with name DFF_10.10.2009.csv in D drive.so path becomes -- D:\DFF_10.10.2009.csv
then in my infopackage...i wrote code ..here it is
DATA: XFILE LIKE P_FILENAME .
CONCATENATE 'D:\DFF_' SY-DATUM '.csv' INTO XFILE .
P_FILENAME = XFILE .
now tried to schedule infopackage....to see if it worksand loads data from flatfile.....but it throws error....Error1 while loading external data....
how can I fix this?

ABAP Routine at infopackage dataselection

I got one scenario to use ABAP Code.
In data selections we have CALWEEK.
We are loading to from flatfile to cube.Every week we load the data to cube.
If the flat file week=present week(sys week) then update to cube or else fail.

Hello,
In infopackage write the below routine for week selection.
data: l_idx like sy-tabix.
read table l_t_range with key
     fieldname = 'CALWEEK'.
l_idx = sy-tabix.
data: g_week type /BI0/OICALWEEK.
CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_GET_WEEK'
Exporting
     DATE = sy-datum
Importing
     WEEK = g_week.

Need Routine At Transfer rules level?

Hi Friends,
Requirement:
Values from flatfile (infoobject 0material): Values in the table /BIC/ZMAT.
00.11.22.33 --> HBL00.11.22.33
90123456 --> 90123456
91122334 --> HBL91122334
And if in the flatfile
value Starting with Alphates --> A dummy number should be assigned something like '99999999'.
Condition: I need only materials from plant "0910" from the /bic/zmat table.
So I need a routine where the values from flatfile should look for the corresponding values in the table /bic/zmat and populate the same values which are available in the table /bic/zmat.
Thanks in advance

Hi Dubbu,
Try This way.
Types: begin of ty_zmat,
 Material type 0material,
 All required fields,
 End of ty_zmat.
Data: it_zmat type standard table of ty_zmat,
 wa_zmat type standard table of ty_zmat,
 conc_material type 0material.
select 0MATERIAL, reqiired fieldsfrom /BIC/ZMAT into table it_zmat where WERKS = u20180910u2019.
Loop at source_package adssigning <source_fields>.
Read table it_zmat into wa_zmat with key material = <source_fields>-material.
 OR
{ here if u want to concatenate flatfile material with something and look into /BIC/ZMAT, u can do here, say conc_material, it depends on ur requirement}
Concatenate HBL <source_fields>-material into conc_material.
Read table it_zmat into wa_zmat with key material = <source_fields>-conc_material.
If sy-subrc = 0.
<source_fields>-fld1 = wa_zmat-fld.
<source_fields>-fld2 = wa_zmat-fld.
Endif.
Endloop.
OR post ur req clrearly...

Error in flatfile load - date not compliant with user date settings

Hi,
I want to load a flatfile into BI 2004s.
so i created a flatfile datasrource, transformation etcetc.. all fine so far.
the file contains 2 dates in format YYYYMMDD and are loaded in DATS infoobjects (also yyyymmdd).
but when i load the data into the PSA it immediatly dumps with error message "19771009 does not match the user-dependent date format --> long text"
the long text sais 19771009 does not correspond to the date format that is assigned to the current user BIWREMOTE. which is correct.. cos there date is DD-MM-YYYY
when i change the date format in the user settings to YYYY-MM-DD it works fine...... in the forground. In the background,whatever i do, it dumps with this errormessage.
so i have 2 questions:
since when is, while loading to the PSA, the date format linked&checked with the date format in the user setting? i cannot recall ever having this issue.
did anyone encounter this problems.

LSMW - Maintain Fixed Values, Translations, User-Defined Routines

Hi all,
I know a little about LSMW.I can perform all the steps and I have uploaded from flatfile to standard tables for transaction XK01. I just want to know what we can perform in sixth step.If I want to write a user defined routine how can I do that ? Can anyone explain me with a simple example and detailed description.
Regards,
Vijay.

hi, you means the 'Maintain fixed values, translations, user-defined routines'.
You can definite some fixed values and translations rule in this step.
And go back to the 'Maintain field mapping and conversion rules' steps.
You can utility these pre-defined in the data mapping.
E.G.
You defined a fixed valued name 'BUKRS'
Through click the button in the application bar in step 5,
you can use a FV_BUKRS in data mapping.
FV_BUKRS is the name of the fixed value name in data mapping.
thanks

Timedepent Flatfile Hierachie in BW3.5

hi all,
i have a problem with my timedepent hierachie, when i try to load them via flatfile to the BW (BW3.5). the whole hierachie is timedepent and i have the chance to select a time range in the datasource-view in the created infosource. if i select the time-interval manuel, there are no problems.
BUT, i would automize this process!
How could I customize my load-process, that the system automaticly change the validy of my hierachie? for example, the DATEFROM should be the actual date and DATETO = 31.12.9999 (the selection in the datasourceview ist 01.01.1000 - 31.12.9999)
I think i must create a formula or routine in my infosource-mapping!??
thx for help!

david

Hi David,
As I understand you can do this in the Start routine by using the P tables and add this Datefrom field in to that. You can use this by giving the start date as systemdate and assign this in Routine.
Other way to do this in the Transformation write a routine and do this. Your hierarchy is nothing but stored in the Table format. So you can do this in either Transformation or in Routine.
If you give more elaboration of your issue, I shall tell you what suits better in your case.

Mahesh

Loading flatfiles(number of fileschanges) weekly through application server

Hello All,
I have requirement to load data from Flatfile through process chain from application server.
The loading frequency will be weekly, and the quantity of data varies every week, say one week it will be in one csv file and the next week it may be more than 65000 so data will be in two or three files also.
please tell me how we have to load more data via application server through process chain, say one week that data comes in flatfile1.csv and the next week it comes as
flatfile1.csv
flatfile2.csv
flatfile3.csv
please help me a way....
Many Thanks,
Sai.

Sai,
Please remember one thing ....
a .csv file DOES NOT HAVE A LIMIT OF 65000 ROWS. It is a limitation of excel.
To confirm we routinely load files having more than 10 million rows in the csv format.
If this is what makes you think you will get 3 files then I think you will still be getting one file only that you cannot open it in excel....
what OS are you using .. accordingly write a script if it is UNIX or a batch job if it is DOS and concatenate the files and load the same..
