Strange Error ! For Reading Application Server File

Hi Friends,
I am getting very strange error while compliling my code. As I am reading a text file for input from Application server for further processing. But my system is giving me an error.
As the file and the path is not yet configured on the application server but i believe
it has to allow me to compile the program and when i execute it then it will give an error as I have tracked.
Kindly help.
I have pasted the code below for reference.
===============================

         line(1055) TYPE c,
          end of ty_file.

Read Application server file and upload into internal table

Another help needed guys,
My file in the application server is of format
Name       Marks 1    Marks 2       Marks 3............
A                10             15               20
The only thing separating the columns is space.
Actually this file was downloaded from an internal table into the app server.
Now I want to load it back into the internal table.
How do I load this into internal table so that each column goes in separate internal table field.
Currently am using cl_abap_char_utilities=>HORIZONTAL_TAB but I can get only the first column name in my field1 of the internal table.
How should I applroach this?
Points will be awarded for useful answers.
Regards
Ankit

Hi ankit,
i think u have uploaded the tab delimited file in the application sever.
then suppose see if u r file is in the format of name#marks1#marks2#marks3.
then in the program u do like this..
first declare one internal table with one filed.
data:
c_hextab(1)      TYPE x VALUE '09'.
data:
begin of t_data occurs 0,
      line(256) type c,
endof t_data.
and declare one more intternal table
data:
begin of t_itab occurs 0,
name(15)    type c,
marks1(4)   type c,
marks2(4)   type c,
marks3(4)   type c,
endof t_itab.
then
open the file with
OPEN DATASET p_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE.
then between do and endo do like this..
DO.
clear t_data.
READ DATASET p_file INTO t_data.
if sy-subrc ne 0.
exit.
else.
split t_data at c_hextab
      into t_itab-name
            t_itab-marks1
t_itab-marks2
t_itab-marks3.
append t_itab.
endif.
enddo.
i think it will be helpful to u
Please let me know wht type of file has been uploaded into application server.(tab deleimted, comma separated or something else).

Need utilities class for application server file system (i.e. unix etc)

I need to do things to directories and files on the application server.
Is there an SAP class with methods for the application server file system (i.e. unix or whatever) with functionality similiar to what is provided by the methods of CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES for the presentation server?
Is there a group of SAP functions for this task?

You may have a look at Thomas Jung article: [sdn contribution : ABAP Server Side File Access, by Thomas Jung|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/7a13f367-0401-0010-47ba-eab0b15cf31c]
Moreover, in release 7.10, it could be possible that SAP introduced input and output stream classes (to mimic java classes), so I guess there could be the ones for application server file system.

Disregard my last. I see what you are doing. You are using file transfer to move the file to the local machine. It was confusing because the paths are the same.
I would suggest adding a SYNCHRONIZE after the file transfer and before the attempt to print. It might even be a good idea to add some error handling code to verify that the file has been copied and can be found. This will allow you to better deal with situations where the file doesn't get written for some reason. WebUtil offers some functions to check for file existence and size.
Also, if you are using Java 7U21, this may cause some issues with your CLIENT_HOST call.

Error while accessing the application server file

Hello,
When I try to load the data from CSV file to PSA , I am getting following error message
"Error while accessing the application server file"
"Errors in source system"
I gave the right file path
I am not sure about this error message.
Thanks,

Hi ram,
if you have more than one application server running in your BI system (see at transaction SM51) be aware that your infopackage will be executed on the right one. Each application server has its own file system and your job need to run on the server your file is stored on.
Also check if the os user of the SAP system itself (<sid>adm on Unix) has rights to read that file.

When will Reader 9's Runtime error for redirected Application Data be fixed??

Has anyone heard when Adobe will fix Reader 9's Runtime error for redirected Application Data?? It's still happening with 9.1.3 for only users who have their Application Data folder redirected via Group Policy.
It's been going on for some time, as evidenced by the following link, and my own personal pain fighting this
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/391738?start=100&tstart=0

Also posted here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/391738
I haven't read through all of the posts, but the general consensus I have is that the issue is in fact related to the redir
ection of the Application Data folder. The main issue being that the use of a UNC path causes the error described, with some mention to explicit user permissions on the root of the folder path.
I was just recently made aware of this issue in our environment. Apparently we've held off upgrading to Adobe 9.x because of this issue. After a little research, it was apparent that simply modifying the default Folder Redirection policies is not possible because the use of a mapped drive is not supported.
I haven't had a chance to test this yet, and may not be able to for some time, so I thought I would share this in case someone else might be able to test. The idea being to simply use a custom ADM file to force the redirection of certain profile folders. Again, I haven't tested this using a mapped drive in the path, but I have successfully used the same settings below to redirect other folders not available by default in Group Policy.
1) Copy the text between ----- Start of ADM ------ and ----- End of ADM ------ and paste it into a text file.
2) Rename the .txt to .adm.
3) Load the ADM template into a GPO.
4) Right click "USER Custom Settings", select "View", select "Filtering" and uncheck the option "Only show policy settings that can be fully managed".
5) Configure the "Redirect Application Data" option as enabled, and enter a mapped drive path.
6) Test.
I'm interested to hear if this is a viable solution or not.

Application Server file Validity

Hi Experts,
I have one query. I wanted to check the validity of file in application server. The scenerio is like in my selection screen I will provide application server file name.
I wanted to validate whether that file is existing or not. If file is not existing then I need to display an error message.
Can anybody will suggest me how I can achieve this requirement?
Thanks,
Neha

Hi Neha,
To access the files on Application server we use DATASET operationsd like open, read, close etc.
Now in your case use opendataset as:
open dataset   ds_name for output in text mode encoding default.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
     //write your message here.
ENDIF.
CLOSE DATASET ds_name.
Where ds_name = logical path name of your file, or if you want to check for just one file, hard code the path.
Better practice is to use logical path name.
Also declare ds_name as
DATA: ds_name          LIKE rfpdo-rfbifile.
Close dataset is used in case file exists you need to close it.
Revert back if you wantto know abt logical file name.
Regards,
Sana.

Unable to load ITUNES onto PC HP, windows 7 Home Version. Error message reads "Application Application Support not found". "Unistall and reload". I have done that 4 times on Explorer and Firefox without success. Help??

Unable to load ITUNES onto PC HP, windows 7 Home Version. Error message reads "Application Application Support not found". "Uninstall and reload". I have done that 4 times on Explorer and Firefox without success. Help??

I had gotten a similar problem, except with "provider services", i believe, but i solved it by copying sqlite3.dll from E:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support to E:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support. doing that solved my first problem, but now i have been getting the error described in this topic (unable to load dataclass info... etc.). i tried reinstalling itunes (i already had 9.1.1, and thats what i reinstalled) by using the method described on apples site (using the "remove programs" tool in the control panel) and then downloading and installing itunes. when i opened it again, i still got the same error, and just now i got an error saying "the instruction at "0x00aadb6b" referenced memory at "0x00000008". the memory could not be read" it gave me the option to cancel and debug, or to press ok and terminate the program. I tried pressing cancel, and the popup went away but nothing else happened. a minute later the popup was back, so i pressed ok and itunes quit. Upon opening Itunes again, i got the very same error. sorry for the long post, but its really been bugging me. thanks for any help you might give, and if you need anymore info, feel free to contact me.

Application server file formats.

Hi,
I have one query regarding the application server file formats, when we are creating a file we give some extension (.txt, .dat),what is the use of different extensions.
When we are downloading the file from appl server using CG3Y we have two options(ASC and BIN ) what is the use of these options.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
A text file is a kind of computer file that is structured as a sequence of lines.
A .dat file is a computer file which stores data for use by a computer application or system.
A character encoding consists of a code that pairs a sequence of characters from a given character set (sometimes referred to as code page) with something else, such as a sequence of natural numbers, octets or electrical pulses, in order to facilitate the storage of text in computers and the transmission of text through telecommunication networks.
ASCII and BINARY codes are used for internal representation of data.
The major difference between ASCII and BINARY is that when ASCII mode is used then the READ DATASET stmt starts at new line each time and in case of BINARY it reads character by character ( or some characters).
Thanks and regards.

Application Server file to internal table

Hi,
How can i read the application server file into the internal table?? Which FM should i use??
Regards,
Kit

Hi,
Open Dataset is used to read or write on to application server ... other than that i am not sure that there exists any way to do the same ... here is a short description for that
FILE HANDLING IN SAP
Introduction
Files on application server are sequential files.
Files on presentation server / workstation are local files.
A sequential file is also called a dataset.
Handling of Sequential file
Three steps are involved in sequential file handling
OPEN
PROCESS
CLOSE
Here processing of file can be READING a file or WRITING on to a file.
OPEN FILE
Before data can be processed, a file needs to be opened.
After processing file is closed.
Syntax:
OPEN DATASET <file name> FOR {OUTPUT/INPUT/APPENDING}
IN {TEXT/BINARY} MODE
This statement returns SY_SUBRC as 0 for successful opening of file or 8, if unsuccessful.
OUTPUT: Opens the file for writing. If the dataset already exists, this will place the cursor at the start of the dataset, the old contents get deleted at the end of the program or when the CLOSE DATASET is encountered.
INPUT: Opens a file for READ and places the cursor at the beginning of the file.
FOR APPENDING: Opens the file for writing and places the cursor at the end of file. If the file does not exist, it is generated.
BINARY MODE: The READ or TRANSFER will be character wise. Each time n characters are READ or transferred. The next READ or TRANSFER will start from the next character position and not on the next line.
IN TEXT MODE: The READ or TRANSFER will start at the beginning of a new line each time. If for READ, the destination is shorter than the source, it gets truncated. If destination is longer, then it is padded with spaces.
Defaults: If nothing is mentioned, then defaults are FOR INPUT and in BINARY MODE.
PROCESS FILE:
Processing a file involves READing the file or Writing on to file TRANSFER.
TRANSFER Statement
Syntax:
TRANSFER <field> TO <file name>.
<Field> can also be a field string / work area / DDIC structure.
Each transfer statement writes a statement to the dataset. In binary mode, it writes the length of the field to the dataset. In text mode, it writes one line to the dataset.
If the file is not already open, TRANSFER tries to OPEN file FOR OUTPUT (IN BINARY MODE) or using the last OPEN DATASET statement for this file.
IF FILE HANDLING, TRANSFER IS THE ONLY STATEMENT WHICH DOES NOT RETURN SY-SUBRC
READ Statement
Syntax:
READ DATASET <file name> INTO <field>.
<Field> can also be a field string / work area / DDIC structure.
Each READ will get one record from the dataset. In binary mode it reads the length of the field and in text mode it reads each line.
CLOSE FILE:
The program will close all sequential files, which are open at the end of the program. However, it is a good programming practice to explicitly close all the datasets that were opened.
Syntax:
CLOSE DATASET <file name>.
SY-SUBRC will be set to 0 or 8 depending on whether the CLOSE is successful or not.
DELETE FILE:
A dataset can be deleted.
Syntax:
DELETE DATASET <file name>.
SY-SUBRC will be set to 0 or 8 depending on whether the DELETE is successful or not.
Pseudo logic for processing the sequential files:
For reading:
Open dataset for input in a particular mode.
Start DO loop.
Read dataset into a field.
If READ is not successful.
Exit the loop.
Endif.
Do relevant processing for that record.
End the do loop.
Close the dataset.
For writing:
Open dataset for output / Appending in a particular mode.
Populate the field that is to be transferred.
TRANSFER the filed to a dataset.
Close the dataset.
chk a sampel
parameters: p_file like rlgrap-filename obligatory
default '/usr/sap/upload.xls'.
types: begin of t_data,
vbeln like vbap-vbeln,
posnr like vbap-posnr,
matnr like vbap-matnr,
werks like vbap-werks,
megne like vbap-zmeng,
end of t_data.
data: it_data type standard table of t_data,
wa_data type t_data.
open dataset p_file for output in text mode encoding default.
if sy-subrc ne 0.
write:/ 'Unable to open file:', p_file.
else.
do.
read dataset p_file into wa_data.
if sy-subrc ne 0.
exit.
else.
append wa_data to it_data.
endif.
enddo.
close dataset p_file.
endif.
And if you want to write on the file.
*--- open UNIX file
open dataset unixfile for output in text mode message w_msg.
if sy-subrc ne 0.
write: / 'Cannot open for writing:', unixfile, w_msg.
exit.
endif.
*--- write UNIX file
loop at it_file.
transfer it_file to unixfile.
endloop.
*--- close UNIX file
close dataset unixfile.

hi Deepu,
Use FM '/SAPDMC/LSM_F4_FRONTEND_FILE' for fetching the data from the application server path/presentation server path

How to check whether the Application Server file has already been opened?

Hi Experts,
I have a query related to Application Server file. I am using multithreading concept to process the data and write it in to a single file.
For example, I have 4 workprocesses. Each workprocess will process the data and whenever it has a record available it will access the file and write it directly.
Problem is the statements that are written in the workprocess is same and I want to check the status whether the file has been opened or not ?
Thanks in advance!!!
Thanks,
Babu Kilari

Depends on the structure, and whether the data needs to be sorted in some way in the final file.
In any case, I don't think there will be a significant performance difference between using OPEN DATASET again and getting funny with Unix commands.
If you don't need to sort the final file, you can use strings to read, concatenate and write the data even without line-based DO ENDDO loops, this works pretty fast.
I hope we are not talking about GBytes of data
