Hi al,
I am using 'PIPE' addition in datasets. But the problem is if there is nodata end of file , pipe sysmbol was not coming. if it is happend in middile of data, pipe was coming .
but end of file it was coming ..please help.
Example.
123|sgjg|X|| | jdgsdjj|35|
still i have 3 fileds end of file ...that is blank data, then it will give pipe sysmbol with that lengh.
correct : 123|sgjg|X|| | jdgsdjj|35| | | |

Hi ajay,
try something like this
Field-symbols : <fs_field> TYPE ANY.
DATA : l_field(255).
DATA : transfer_stru(1000).
LOOP AT i_final.
        DO.
          ASSIGN COMPONENT sy-index OF STRUCTURE i_final TO <fs_field>.
          IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
            MOVE <fs_field> TO l_field.
            CONDENSE l_field.
            CONCATENATE transfer_stru '|' l_field INTO transfer_stru.
            CLEAR l_field.
          ELSE.
            EXIT.
          ENDIF.
        ENDDO.
        SHIFT transfer_stru LEFT.
        TRANSFER transfer_stru TO v_file.
        CLEAR transfer_stru.
      ENDLOOP.

Parsing notepad content separated by pipes...urgent!!

Hi there,
I really need your help guys, I need to read the content of a notepad file and then parse it, specifically it's a string just like this one,
AAA_AAAA.01 | BBB_BBBB.01 BBB_BBBB.02 | BBB_BBBB.03 | CCC_CCCC.01 | DDD_DDDD.01 | DDD_DDDD.02 | DDD_DDDD.03 | DDD_DDDD.04....and so on,
and so far I've got only this code
package tokenizer;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
* @author Henz
public class ThreadParser {
public ThreadParser() {
// Auto-generated constructor stub
* @param args
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Auto-generated method stub
String line;
try {
System.out.print("Enter the path: ");
BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
String file = stdin.readLine();
BufferedReader sfile = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
File myFile = new File(file);
if (myFile.exists()) {
System.out.println("File founded, preparing parsing...");
} else {
System.out.println("File not founded, verify path...");
while ((( line = sfile.readLine())!= null))
System.out.println(line);
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(line)//Exactly here I need the string so I can parse it but it returns me a NullPointerEx
while(st.hasMoreTokens())
System.out.println(st.nextToken());
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
But I've got only this output
Enter the path: C:\Test.txt
File founded, preparing parsing...
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.util.StringTokenizer.<init>(StringTokenizer.java.182)
at java.util.StringTokenizer.<init>(StringTokenizer.java.219)
at tokenizer.ThreadParser.main(ThreadParser.java:54)
The question is, what else do I need so I can get this output ,
AAA_AAAA.01
BBB_BBBB.01 BBB_BBBB.02 BBB_BBBB.03
CCC_CCCC.01
DDD_DDDD.01 DDD_DDDD.02 DDD_DDDD.03 DDD_DDDD.04
The main objective is to parse the string above eliminating its pipes and in each line having just the same type prefix words
Regards!

I will post the bad part of your code, indented correctly:while ((( line = sfile.readLine())!= null))
System.out.println(line);
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(line);The first two lines read through the file and copy it to standard output. After they are finished, the "line" variable is null (that's what the "while" does) and then you proceed to try and use it in the third line of code.
In other words, you should surround the code that you want controlled by that "while" by braces. Like this:while ((( line = sfile.readLine())!= null)) {
System.out.println(line);
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(line);
... and so on
}If you don't do that then only the single line of code after the "while" statement is in the while-loop.

Pipe separated flat file upload

Hi ALl,
Can any one tell me how to upload a flat file (field separator is pipe |) using the FM GUI_UPLOAD.
And than how to split the fields into there corresponding table-fields.
Thanks in advance.
regards
satish.

Upload the flat file into a flat itab using the GUI_UPLOAD.
Types: Begin of ttab,
       rec(1000) type c,
       end of ttab.
data: itab type table of ttab with header line.
After you have the data in the flat itab. Loop thru it and split at the pipe(|). Update another itab with your data.
data: Begin of itab2 occurs 0,
      field1(10) type c,
      field2(10) type c,
      field3(10) type c,
      endo of itab2.
Loop at itab.
split itab-rec at '|' into itab2-field1
                           itab2-field2
                           itab2-field3.
append itab2.
endloop.

Multiple flat files with Comma delimiter and Pipe Delimiter in the sub folders.

Hi,
I have a directory C:\doc\Outcomes\Health --(This is the main path).
In the path above i have multiple subfolders like
A
B
C
D
Folder A & B have 20 flat files each which are comma separated and pipe delimiter files.
Folder C&D have 20 excel files each.
1) So, In SSIS while looping through the subfolders how do i limit to loop only excel files one time and flat files one time.
2) In folder A&B, how do i loop only Pipe delimiter files (neglecting comma saperated files). I want to loop only pipe delimiter files while using for each loop container.
Thanks

Both are txt files, but the data inside the files is saperated by ',' and '|'. ( comma and pipe)
Thats ok
If delimiters are not consistent you can use this method

I want to see my chosen home page when I click on Firefox, but your ad shows up. How do I get rid of it?

When I go to Mozilla Firefox, I always see YOUR page first instead of my chosen home page. This page says "Committed to You, your privacy and an open web under your logo, and in top right corner, it says "See what's New" and it makes me either check "No Thanks" or "Let's go". This is annoying because I really just want my home page when I click on Firefox.
How do I get rid of YOUR page that comes up first? If I can't get rid of this, I plan to no longer use Mozilla Firefox. Please advise. (I would have given you a screen shot, but your system doesn't accept it here)
Thanks!

You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
Do you still have your home page set correctly?
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.

Why is there a blank tab when I open firefox when there wasn't one before?

A table storing book details can only be designed like above. Right ? I mean, the duplication of records for one book because of multiple authors cannot be avoided. Right ?
One wonders how Amazon has desined its books table :)

create table books
book_id integer,
title varchar2(100),
etc...
create table authors
author_id integer,
name varchar2(100),
etc...
create table book_authors
book_id integer,
author_id integer
);You could also have only 2 tables book and authors (with authors table having a fk column to book_id).
It would depends if the author is supposed to remain unique throught different books.
- The 3 tables model would allow a single update on author information to be automatically "propagated" to all book he participed in.
- The 2 tables model would allow to have different information for each participation of the author to different books (but would certainly "duplicate" part of the data about the author)
One can also have even more tables to totally avoid data "duplication".

Why does a new tab page open along with my home page?

When I go online, I expect to have only my home page open, instead, I have two tabs, my home page tab and New Tab and the New Tab page is the page that actually opens. This just started yesterday, why??

Did you check the home page setting to make sure that it is still correct?

Issue in concurrent update of the same attribute

Hi All,
We have a requirement to populate an attribute on user profile from target resource process form during reconciliation. This attribute can hold the multiple values separated by '|' (pipe). A user can have multiple account on this target resource. Now we are facing the issue where if the user's multiple account is updated and during reconciliation when they are trying to update the user form (concurrently...almost at the same time..) via different recon events (and hence process task on recon update received), only last update came into effect. Lets say if two recon event R1 and R2 created for a user and trying to copy the value ATTRVAL1 and ATTRVAL2 on user profile attribute attr1. In ideal scenerio the value of attr1 should be ATTRVAL1|ATTRVAL2, but in our case the value we received is either ATTRVAL1 or ATTRVAL2 (depending on the last update). The process task to update the value on user profile is successfully completed. It seems till the time last one capture the value, it stale the first update usr_rowver field that used in profile update.
Please let me know if you ever face this issue and how to deal with this. There is no caching enabled in OIM (under config file)

Hi,
Can you just tell me which type of Recon you are using is it GTC or any other recon?
What is target resource from which recon is happening?
Just check the metadata.xml whehter it gives you option to make attribute as multivalued or not. IF it is there then you just define your attribute as multivalued and proceed..

GUI_UPLOAD+HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR

Hi everybody .
In my program, I use the fm GUI_UPLOAD to upload the flat file which separator is the pipe(|).
Exemple of line : AAA|BBB|CCC|DDD
HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR='|' not working, so how can i use this fm and define SEPARATOR as pipe .
thank in advance

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..

Problem to send text file to mail from ALV report

Hi Friends,
I have a problem in my ALV report with text file. As per the requirment, when we execute the program then text attachment should go to the particual email.
When i am using file type as XLS i am getting attachment with all 4 recoreds( input for 4 records) in mail. But all 4 records are coming in SAME ROW. It should come 4 records in 4 rows. when I use file type as TXT and separated by pipe symble in code, it is showing only one recored for same above input.
When i use file type as XLS and click the attachment in email, it will triggire one popul with three options like SAVE, OPEN, CANCEL.
But when i click on text file attachment, it is directly showing ony one recored.
Please correct me on this.
my code is

Hi,
declare the following constant in u r program and concatenate at the end of each and every record in your internal table.
CONSTANTS : LV_CRLF TYPE C VALUE CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF.
for eg.
if u internal table has values like
row1
row2
row3
concatenate the 1st record lv_crlf into first record.
conactenate second record lv_crlf into second record.
concatenate third record lv_crlf into third record.
now attach the internal table to the FM which u use for sending email. Each and every row will come in new line. The LV_CRLF will hold nothing but a line feed character (#).
Hope it will solve u r problem
Regards,
Rose.

No. of B Records = No. of Idocs generated with corresponding C records data which indicates Component Rows (multiple)
i.e as many B records file contains, that many Idoc will be created
For Mapping I require B and C Records. Field Separator is Pipe | symbol
I need to Ignore A B C Z
How to define the source structure and the respective FCC Parameters.
Regads,
Varun

Hi,
For Mapping I require B and C Records. Field Separator is Pipe | symbol
I need to Ignore A B C Z
two statements are ambiguous.
I assume u want only B and C records.
Since the structure is little complex, u can gat the whole record as a single element into Mapping and then u can take only those u want to access and map.
MT_Name
        Records
             Data(0..unbounded)
Now in Data u have all the records.
If you dont want at all these A and Z records to come to mapping(IE) then u need to go for a small adapter module.
Deploy it and use in the modules sequence...

Just installed. Can't stop 2 tabs from opening on start. 1st is firefox page. How do I stop this?

2 tabs load whenever I open firefox. The first tab is firefox page and the second is my homepage google.
I want to keep the google but stop the firefox tab. Tried the suggested fixes. %7c will not save it just reverts back. Anything changed in about:config doesn't help either.

What is the current value of the browser.startup.homepage pref on the <b>about:config</b> page?
You can check the home page setting:
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
You can check for problems with preferences.
Delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

ABAP to FTP connect to non SAP UNIX system

Greetings~
I'm looking for a way (via function modules and/or BAPI) to transfer data in flat files from an SAP UNIX system to a non-SAP UNIX system using an ABAP program. I see FM's FTP_CONNECT and FTP_COMMAND however these seem to only work with UNIX systems running SAP as they require RFC_DESTINATION information. Anybody know which (if any) FM's can be used without the necessity of the target system running SAP/RFC?
Thanks!
