SWFVISU doesn't accept longer iView ids than 255 char as parameter value?

Hi,
I'm using the UWL to display SAP Business Workflow work items in the portal.
Everything works fine.
I made also a simple Business Workflow which starts a standard sap transaction after executing the task.
The transaction is displayed in the portal as SAP GUI for HTML.
But now, instead of executing the transaction, I want to execute an iView from a Business Package.
So I used the transaction SWFVISU to change the visualization type for the task (e.g. TS99000004).
The iView of the Business package is a WebDynpro for ABAP application.
So I could choose "iView" or "ABAP Web Dynpro" as visualization type.
My questions:
If I use "iView", than I could not enter the whole value of the iView location into the parameter for "ID", because the pcd location of the iView is longer than 255 char (beginning with "pcd:portal_content/(...))"!
Is there a way to enter this in SWFVISU or is this only possible using an own XML configuration file in the uwl portal for this task?
Thanks,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
I think the recommended and very common way is not to tweak the pcd location with delta copies or others but just to use the XML config (if SWFVISU doesn't cover your needs). In later EP versions there is also wizard functionality included so you don't need to actually code any XML but just use the wizard.
Regarding the possibility of having multiple XML files declaring the same item type/task, no problems there.
When registering the task types in UWL administration, an xml file with low priority is generated including e.g. declaration of item type A. Now when you upload your own xml file including declaration of item type A as well, the system should automatically assign the file medium (or high) priority. You can also manually change the priorities.
So the problem is eliminated using priorities. Your custom xml config overrides the swfvisu-originated item types since it's of higher priority. This means in other words the lower priority swfvisu items are not taken into account.
Hope this helps,
Mikko

Diskuse.exe crashes when path & filename is longer than 255 chars

Hi All,
I am trying to use diskuse.exe v1.3 from Win2003 Reskit to report over 1TB of data. My problem is that diskuse crashes and does not complete. Just before the crash I get an error:
WARNING: Could not get SID for g:\personalfolders\adodds\my personal data\CML late relapse\Outcome of Second Allogeneic Transplants Using Reduced Intensity Conditioning Following Relapse after an Initial Allogeneic Transplant. -- Shaw et al. 108 (11)_ 3660 -- ASH Annual Meeting Abstracts.pdf
The path and filename is longer than 255 chars which I suspect is causing the crash.
The command I am using is:
diskuse.exe g:\personalfolders /s /t /e:diskuse_errors.txt /f:diskuse_g.csv /q
Note I dont really care if some directories/files get missed in reporting if there are errors, I just want diskuse to continue and give me its best effort.
I assume this us a bug.. has anyone come across it before? any solutions or workarounds?
Late addition to the above issue...
If I run diskuse on my XP workstation against the same volume I get a drwatson error. The error codes are:

Send an attachment in email with length more than 255 char per line

Hi All,
I have to send an attachment in email with length more than 255 char per line. I dont want to break the line after 255 char and add it in another line.
Please suggest me any function module which can perform this.
Thank you all.

I looked at all threads in the forum, there was about 5 or 6 identical questions, but surprise, nobody knows! It seems that SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 function module does not allow more than 255 characters by line.
It would surprise me a lot if there is no workaround !
As it is very easy to add any binary attachment which is like a very long line, PDF for example (several kilobytes), via the function module above (lots of examples in the forum), I would advise you to try to use the same way, i.e. use the contents_bin parameter instead of the contents_txt parameter (convert the text into binary) and add the line feeds yourself (okay I know, it's not very smart).
Last thing, this function module is deprecated, and we should use BCS classes, maybe they work better.

How to display more than 255 chars in background job with ALV Grid ????

Hi All,
I am using ALV grid with OO.
I have used call screen for ALV grid display. I have to display more than 255 characters in width. While running it, I can see the list perfectly.
But in background mode, the list is truncated after 255 chars.
Can anybody help how to send complete list(width more than 255 chars) to spool.
Thanks and Regards,
Neha

Hi SAP fan,
YES you can run the ALV report in background mode.
To run the report in background do F9 instead of F8, then give immediate and save.
Now goto Sm35 goto job overview and view the job listed
Choose the job and press the spool button. It will show the list created on the next page. When u clcik the list u can see the ALV output.
To see this the job should be in the finished status.
How to define Periodic Jobs
1.Execute transaction SM36
2.Define Job name, Job class, Target server
3.Click on 'START CONDITION' button
4.Click on 'Date/Time' button
5.Enter Scheduled start DATE & TIME. Check mark 'Periodic Job' field. Click on 'Period values' button and select 'Hourly' or 'Dialy' or 'Weekly' or 'Monthly' or Other period and SAVE. Go back to main screen.
6.Click on 'STEPS' button and enter Program name and Variant under box 'ABAP Program'. Click on 'Print Specification' button and enter Printer name under 'Output device' and SAVE
7.Click on SAVE button until you get message on bottom of the screen that describes 'Job XYZ saved with status: Scheduled'.
8.Click on 'Job overview' button or execute SM37 transaction.
9.Select the appropriate 'Job name', 'User name', 'Job Status' & Schedule date under 'Job start condition' and click on 'Execute' button or press F8.
10.You will now see all your scheduled JOBS.
Case: 2
You can Run in Background but make sure it is alv list, not alv Grid FM. if you are uisng alv list not problem , but if you are using alv grid then you can code like this..
if sy-batch = ' '.
call 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'.
else.
call 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'.
endif.
if you are using OO alv then write this code..
CALL METHOD cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline
 RECEIVING e_offline = off.
 IF off IS INITIAL.
 CREATE OBJECT g_custom_container
 EXPORTING container_name = g_container.
 ENDIF.
Case: 3
if you are using OO ALV.
Just before creating the custom container check for the following condition.
Batch or Web Reporting
IF cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline( ) IS INITIAL.
CREATE OBJECT o_custcontainer
EXPORTING
container_name = lc_custcontrol
EXCEPTIONS
cntl_error = 1
cntl_system_error = 2
create_error = 3
lifetime_error = 4
lifetime_dynpro_dynpro_link = 5
OTHERS = 6
ENDIF.
You can see the output in Spool in transaction SP01.
Good Luck and thanks

Email attachment rows greater than 255 char get truncated

Hi
I am trying to code in 4.6C to email excel attachment with rows greater than 255, and the rows are being truncated using function module SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
I have searched the forum and can not find an actual solution to this on a 4.6c system.

Attach xls file with more than 255 chars

Hi all,
I'm trying to send an .xls file as attachement whose row contains more than 255 chars with FM 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'.
When preparing the attached table, I tried to separate the tables like this:
loop at itab.
concatenate itab-col_1 itab-col_2 itab-col_3 into it_attach
    separted by cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
append it_attach.
concatenate itab-col_4 itab-col_5 itab-col_6 into it_attach
    separted by cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
append it_attach.
concatenate IT_ATTACH cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline into it_attach.
append it_attach.
endloop.
I am able to send this xls as attachment, but when open it in excel/notepad,
it is so strange that there are so many spaces before the contents itab-col_4 which is unexpected.
It is expected that the file is tab-delimited with continuous column 1-6.
Any things went wrong?
Many Thanks!

Thanks.
I tried the first method to convert the byte to string, but a short dumps is resulted,
DATA: con_tab TYPE x,
           sep TYPE string.
con_tab = '09'.
CALL FUNCTION 'HR_KR_XSTRING_TO_STRING'
            EXPORTING
              in_xstring = con_tab
            IMPORTING
              out_string = sep.
so I use back my original method to concatenate the columns as suggested, i.e.
concatenate itab-col_1 tab itab-col_2 tab itab-col_3 tab into it_attach
append it_attach.
concatenate itab-col_4 tab itab-col_5 tab itab-col_6 into it_attach.
append it_attach.
concatenate it_attach cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline into it_attach.
append it_attach.
but the outcome is still the same, i.e. ...many leading space before itab-col_4
any more ideas? Many Thanks

How to transfer data more than 255 char from excel sheet to internal table.

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement where i have a text field in the excel sheet of more than 255 char and need to be updated in the text element. To do that i need to transfer the excel sheet data to an internal table where one of the field is more than 255 char.
in the standard function module it works only upto 255 char. Can you help me if we have some other way to get more than 255 char in the internal table from excel sheet.
Thanks in Advance.
BR,
RaJ.

Using .xls, it is not possible transfer data more than 255 characters from excel sheet. However if the excel sheet is saved as Comma Delimited format or Tab Delimited format, then using GUI_DOWNLOAD function module data more than 255 characters can be transferred.
File name should be : .csv (Comma Delimited format) or .txt (Tab Delimited format)
File Type would still remain 'ASC' while calling function module GUI_DOWNLOAD
Also In the internal table declare the field type as String or LCHAR.
Eg:
TYPES: begin of ty_file,
        col_a TYPE string,
      end of ty_file.
DATA: i_file type standard table
               of ty_file
             with header line
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
EXPORTING
    FILENAME                      = 'C:\test.csv'
TABLES
    DATA_TAB                      = i_file

Hlp reqd: Urgent!!!! An Excel attachment Having recs more than 255 char len

Hi.. I am using the FM "SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1" for sending a outlook mail with excel sheet as an attachment.
The records having length upto 255 chars are coming properly in diff rows(which means the carriage return is considered).
But when records have more than 255 chars, then the chars exceeding 255 length are coming in a single row of excel sheet which means the carraige returns are not considered.
Hope my issue is explained clearly....request every one to provide the solution as early as possible.
Regards
Nanda

Hi Nanda,
build your XLS internal table X as usual (more then 255 char). Then format the table
X to a new one Y with line size 255. (You can do your own routine or use the FM SWA_STRING_FROM_TABL and SWA_STRING_TO_TABLE in sequence; sorry but I'm on 4.6C and didn't find a FM in order to format directly the internal table from line size XXXX to the desired line size).
sample code:
t_att_tab with line size 4000 containing the excell data with carriage return and so on
objbin with line size 255 used in FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1
 data: d_string type string.
 call function 'SWA_STRING_FROM_TABLE'
 exporting
 character_table = t_att_tab
NUMBER_OF_CHARACTERS =
 line_size = 4000
KEEP_TRAILING_SPACES = ' '
CHECK_TABLE_TYPE = ' '
 importing
 character_string = d_string
 exceptions
 no_flat_charlike_structure = 1
 others = 2
 if sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
 endif.
 call function 'SWA_STRING_TO_TABLE'
 exporting
 character_string = d_string
APPEND = ' '
 line_size = 255
CHECK_TABLE_TYPE = ' '
 importing
 character_table = objbin
TOTAL_LENGTH =
LINE_SIZE_USED =
LINES_FILLED =
LAST_LINE_LENGTH =
 exceptions
 no_flat_charlike_structure = 1
 others = 2
 if sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
 endif.
It works!!!

How can i see the URL which has length more than 255 chars in fucnction

Hello Every body....
I am facing one problem....I have a function module which returns URL in one table
but in the function module display i am able to see only 255 characters,but the URL is more than 255 Characters..How can i see the URL which has the length more than 255 characters..
In the Table the fields url length is 4000 chars.....
but display it is showing only 255 chars.....
Please Help me...??????????

Hello,
Have you tried breaking your structure into 255 chunks? I don't know what the structure you are moving from looks like, but you should be able break it back up into the SOLI structure. The end of a line in SOLI doesn't create a Carriage Return/Line Break. You have to insert these yourself like in the following:
* Create document
      clear mail_line.
      move 'This is a test E-Mail'(d01) to mail_line.
      concatenate mail_line
                  cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline
                  into mail_line.
      append mail_line to l_mailtext.
What kind of attachment are you wanting to create - a text tab delimited file for reading in a spreadsheet application such as excel? You might try reassembling your data table into a single string with newlines where you need them. Then use function module SCMS_STRING_TO_FTEXT to turn it back into SOLI. This is what I have done in the past. I'm afraid without knowing more about your source structure and attachment type, this is about all I can tell you.

The same solution that I suggested above applies here. Build your email message as a single string. Line lenght won't matter. Then convert the string to the binary table. The binar table won't be restricted to 255 character line lenghts - and in fact wont' care about line lenghts at all. Your long URL in your hyperlink will be fine.

Sending Emails with Attachments greater than 255 chars in 4.6C

Hi,
I have a requirement in which i have to send mails with attachments greater than 255 characters. The attachment would be a tab-delimited .TXT file. Since i am working on 4.6C, i don't have the luxury of using the FM 'SCMS_STRING_TO_FTEXT'.
It's very urgent. So any help in this regards would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi,
Internal table to be passed to SOLIST1 type int, table and then compress this table using fm "table_compress" with the compressed table then call fm "table_decompress" and pass this to function module SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
Keep in mind the following variable
