Sender FCC Field separator

Hi Gurus,
I am working on a File-to-File Scenario using FCC at sender side. My requirement is to convert source text file into xml file.
Source and target structure:
DT_Customer_SRC
     Header
          CompanyName
          CompanyCode
     Body
          CName
          CCode
FCC Configuration:
Recordset Structure = Header,1,Body,1
Header.fieldNames = CompanyName,CompanyCode
Header.fieldSeparator = #
Header.endSeparator = $
Body.fieldNames = CName,CCode
Body.fieldSeparator = #
Body.endSeparator = 'nl'
Source File:
ABC#100$PQR#10
I am getting the error saying File contains more values than the fields specified.
But when I set the Header.endSeperator = 'nl', i get the desired output.
Is this the case that we cannot use more than one separator?
Is it mandatory to use Key?
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated
Thanks,
Jitesh Talreja

Hi,
Thanks for your time
I tried the options posted by you guys but none of the option has worked.
Are there any limitations on the number of seperators to be used? Is my requirement correct and achievable?

FCC field separator

Hi All,
Is there any solution for the field separator parameter if the flat file is having single space(not the TAB) as a field separator. I tried copy paste of that space. But it is taking all the filed values in one element.

Use this parameter for your content conversion in the sender file adapter.
structure.fieldSeparator = '0x20'
this is the hexadecimal conversion for space.
don't forget to rate.

Sender File Adapter - FCC - No incoming field separator - How to do FCC?

Hi,
I have a sender File adapter and I need to do the File Content Conversion but there apparently no incoming field separator and the file ocntains just running text - no data records but just information.
For example the incoming file is something like:
                                The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited                      27JAN2009       PAGE 1

The Message type that I am mapping to contains:
MT_XXXX
     WA
          Item
          Item2
          Item3
This is so that the information can be mapped to different field areas and send across to the Receiver Mail Adapter. In the mail i receive, i get the running text. I tried giving the field separator as '0x09' but it is not working.
I have also tried WA..fieldContentFormatting to nothing but again no luck.
I have tried with Recordset Sequence with Ascending and variable and have also tried Recordsets per Message with * and blank - but it did not help.
Please advice.

Archana

Hi,
I assumed that it was tab but when I made the change in FCC, it did not work.
I would still like to have a output where it looks like below if more than 2 types of information in 1 line as below:
ABC IAL LIMITED                     ABU DHABI, UAE
ABC MIDDLE EAST                  Account No. 001-9999999999999
and not something like:
ABC IAL LIMITED ABU DHABI, UAE
ABC MIDDLE EAST Account No. 001-999999999999
I am not sure what to do here.
Help please.

Sender File Adapter - Problem with field separator

Hi,
I want to upload a CSV file into XI.
The file contains a text part which uses from time to time quotation marks like this:
SD,575757,383838,N/A,XYZ,"This is a text part",7676
But besides there are lines like this:
SD,575757,777722,N/A,XDE,FREETEXT,7575
Has anyone any idea how to configure the file adapter to get it recognize the quotation marks not as field separator?
I've already tried the enclosureSign parameters but that leads to an total unconverted line.
Is it maybe possible to customize two field separators like this:
Structure.fieldSeparator - ,"
Thanks for any answer,
Christina

No, it doesn't work.
I've specified now:
Structure.fieldSeparator        ,
Structure.enclosureSign         "
Structure.enclosureSignEscape   ""
Every line without quotation marks is converted fine. Lines with quotation marks stay like in the original CSV file and the whole line is put into one XML tag (still comma separated).
Also the parameter fieldContentFormatting - nothing doesn't make a difference.
Other ideas?

Problem with End separator in Sender FCC channel

Hi Experts,
If i use a special character as field separator it is working.The same character is not recognized as end separator.

Hi Aamir,
We tried with single quotes and also as Hex values too.
As mentioned earlier, it is working as Field separator not as end separator.

Hi,
The error was saying that.. the no of fields you are getting in the source are diff from that you have mentioned in FCC.
Can you just copy and paste the source csv file? and the exact XML structure?

Hierarchical Structure in Sender FCC

Hi all,
I am working on a file to file scenario.
The sender data type is in following format -
File_Header
Record_ID
Filler_S
Batch_Header
Record_ID
Filler_S
Payment_Node
Record_ID
Filler_S
All the nodes are with key fields.
File_Header Keyfield - 1, Batch_Header Keyfield - 2, Payment_Node Keyfield - 3.
I want to know whether it is possible to have FCC on sender File adapter for this hierarchical structure.
The source XML message should be in following format -
<?xml version="1.0"; encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Test>
<File_Header>
<Record_ID>1</Record_ID>
<Filler_S>12</Filler_S>
</File_Header>
<Batch_Header>
<Record_ID>2</Record_ID>
<Filler_S>12</Filler_S>
<Payment_Record>
<Record_ID>3</Record_ID>
<Filler_S>12</Filler_S>
</Payment_Record>
</Batch_Header>
</Test>
Currently I am getting source XML in this format.
<?xml version="1.0"; encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ns:Test xmlns:ns="urn:testhierarchy:fcc">
<File_Header>
--<Record_ID>1</Record_ID>
--<Filler_S>01</Filler_S>
</File_Header>
<Batch_Header>
--<Record_ID>25</Record_ID>
--<Filler_S>20</Filler_S>
</Batch_Header>
<Payment_Record>
--<Record_ID>6</Record_ID>
--<Filler_S>22</Filler_S>
</Payment_Record>
</ns:Test>
i.e. Payment_Record and Batch_Header are at same level. I want Payment_Record under Batch_Header.
Kindly let me know if hierarchical structures can be handled in sender FCC. If yes then what should be the FCC parameters?
Thanks i.

Hi Minal,
We have Source structure same as yours. I am trying to use FCC to handle multiple hierarchy levels at sender side.
Can you please let me know if you have some solution for it?
Thanks,
Pooja.

File Sender FCC doesn't allow repetitive segments and unbounded together

File Sender FCC give me error if I use the repeatitive structure and * (Unbounded) together. Here is the recordset structure UNH,1,BGM,1,DTM,1,NAD,1,CNI,1,STS,1,RFF,*,DTM,1 for which I am getting the error "Conversion of file content to XML failed at position 0: java.lang.Exception: ERROR consistency check in recordset structure validation (line no. 12: missing structure(s) before type 'DTM' "
If I use the recordset structure UNH,1,BGM,1,DTM,1,NAD,1,CNI,1,STS,1,RFF,2,DTM,1 then I am able to parse the file. But My requirement is that I will expect variable no of RFF segments in my structure. If you guys could help me that would be great.

Hi Mohammad
In this case try to maintain the following in content conversion parameters.
Key Field Name = Key
<xml>.fieldFixedLengths      = 1,......................
<xml>.fieldNames                 = Key,.................
<xml>.keyFieldValue            = 1
<xml>.keyFieldInStructure    = ignore
<xml>.endSeparator            = ,
Think this should solve your problem.

Specify Starting Position in Sender FCC

Hi Experts Team,
I wish to specify the starting position of field in sender FCC.
can i????
regards,
kanda

Hi,
I think positions we can't identify with FCC statements. fieldfixedlengths itself system will identify automatically. If column have any specific character indication we can do easily. Check it according to your requirement.

Problem with PIPE as a field separator

Hi Gurus,
I am facing a problem in XI .The incoming file is PIPE as a field separator and a carriage return as end of each record.
The problem is that in trailer record if the last field has no value in the file then it is unable to identify it is a field.So all mapping which is there to check the empty filed is not working.
File format processed with status ok.
01|HEADER|F1
02|F1|F2|F3
03|COUNT1|F4
if the same file in the last record if the filed XX is blank then it is not able to trap in mapping.
01|HEADER|F1
02|F1|F2|F3
03|COUNT1|XX
If i am giving a extra PIPE at end of each record then it is working ok and the mapping can able to check if a field is blank.
But without putting a PIPE at the end is it possible to trap error if any last field is contains blank.
it is little URGENT.Please reply.
Thanks,
Satya

Hi,
Suppose you called 03|COUNT1|F4 row as "trailer" in recordset structure.
Then you can use the following parameters:
trailer.missingLastfields = ignore - to get converted to XML only fileds that have been filled in
trailer.missingLastfields = add - to have last fileds filled with empty values
trailer.missingLastfields = error - to terminate FCC since file has not complete structure

Sender FCC Details

Hi,
How to specify the sender fcc details for following structure
<header>
   <Record>
         <field1>
         <field2>

HI Guys,
How about the sender file is of such format
Header1,Item1 details
Header1,Item2 Details
Header2, Item1 Details
Header2,item2 Details
Header3, Item1 Details
I need to map this file format to IDOC strucutre, In Header there is a filed which is the Key value to identify the change in header.
Eg: Order Number is the field in the following file which identifies the change in header: First three fields are header details and following are the item details:
ABC,ON1,22,Item1,XX
ABC,ON1,33,Item2,FF
ABC,ON2,44,Item1,MM
ABC,ON3,66,Item1,LL
How would be the Data type strcuture to capture this type of falt file strcuture and FCC parameters?
I need to send a single IDOC per one header with multiple Items. is it possible to achieve?
                                                                                Thanks

How to get some character as a field separator while in GUI_DOWNLOAD ?

Hi Friends,
I have to download data from an internal table to a text file. The field separator
between the fields should be comms (,). So, after getting the data into internal table i'm calling the Function Module GUI_DOWNLOAD. Now using this function module can i insert a comma spearator between the fields, if not what is the other way to do it?

Hi,
Its not possible to give the field separator as ',' directly with gui_download from you internal table.
Below is the example through which you can achieve the following,
this is a tested program and is working fine on the system....
so you can use the logic to achieve the following result.... hope this logic helps you to achieve your functionality....

      itab2 LIKE TABLE OF line.

I want the data to get appended in internal table based on | separator.
Please help.
Regards,

Hi,
I believe the field separator parameter will work for Excel files..You have to get the internal table in a string format..and then use split statement..
check this example..

       version_series_id TYPE string,
       version_number TYPE string,

Field Separator in GUI_UPLOAD

Hi,
     I need to upload a tab delimited excel file . I am using FM GUI_DOWNLOAD.What are Filetype and Field Separator.
Regards,
Divyanshu

Hi Divyanshu,
It may be better to use the class method to future proof your development (which incidentally calls GUI_UPLOAD anyway). Consider the following code:
data: i_file type standard table of t_file.
call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
    exporting
      filename                = w_file
      has_field_separator     = 'X'      "Tab-delimited ASCII upload.
    changing
      data_tab                = i_file
    exceptions
      file_open_error         = 1
      file_read_error         = 2
      no_batch                = 3
      gui_refuse_filetransfer = 4
      invalid_type            = 5
      no_authority            = 6
      unknown_error           = 7
      bad_data_format         = 8
      header_not_allowed      = 9
      separator_not_allowed   = 10
      header_too_long         = 11
      unknown_dp_error        = 12
      access_denied           = 13
      dp_out_of_memory        = 14
      disk_full               = 15
      dp_timeout              = 16
      not_supported_by_gui    = 17
      error_no_gui            = 18
      others                  = 19.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
*   Error handling
endif.
Hope this helps.
