Tab delimit file
I need to eliminate space after the value in the column using a sql file. Meaning I need to generate a tab
delimited file but the delimit should come exactly after the last character of that column
eg.
set echo off
set heading off
set wrap off
set pagesize 0
set linesize 300
set termout off
set feedback off
set timing off
spool D:\Project\EDW\docs\fa_temp2.txt
col TAB# new_value TAB NOPRINT
select chr(9) TAB# from dual;
set colsep "&TAB"
set trim off
set colsep "|"
select rtrim(col), rtrim(col1), rtrim(col2) from temp_fa;
spool off
set echo on
set feedback on
set heading on
set termout on
this is | testing is going on |test
There is space after 'This is', I need to get the file as below
this is| testing is going on|test
Hi,
SQL*Plus will always pad the columns, so you have to concatenate everything into one huge column:
select rtrim(col) || CHR (9) || -- CHR (9) is TAB, at least on my system
rtrim(col1) || CHR (9) ||
rtrim(col2)
from temp_fa;You don't have to SET COLSEP when you do this. Siince there is only one column, it doesn't matter what is separating the columns.

Hi ,
I am trying to upload a tab delimited file which is of the format (header and item). This file is created using Excel.
FIELD1 FIELD2
value1 value2
FIELD3 FIELD4 FIELD5 FIELD6
value3 value4 value5 value6
I am upload the file using GUI_UPLOAD into a internal table of flat structure. Then I am splitting the fields by tab and moving the individual fields. The problem is field2 and field6 is moved along with a tab at the end ie the value2# and value6#. How can I remove the tab at the end of these fields. But if I create a tab delimited file using just notepad every this is fine. I really appreciate if someone can help.
thanks,
Regards,
Hemanth

try this:
After GUI_UPLOAD into itab:
field-symbols:

<itab> like itab,
<field> type any.
data:
lt_string type table of string.
loop at itab assigning <itab>.
split itab at at cl_abap_char_utilities=>Horizontal_tab into table lt_string.
loop at lt_string assigning <string>.
assign component sy-tabix of structure wa_itab_final to <field>.
replace cl_abap_char_utilities=>Horizontal_tab in <string> with ''.
<field> = <string>.
endloop.
append wa_itab_final to itab_final,
endloop.
append
endloop.
But I remember there is a parameter you can tell gui_upload that it's tab-delimited and then load direclty into target table.

How to create a TAB Delimited file with blank columns
Hi,
In my requirement i want to generate a tab delimated file. So i used FCC in Reciever CC and am able to create a tab delimated file. But the file content is not in the format i am expecting. File created as shown below.
Eid First Name Middle Name Last name
7 raj reddy petter
8 ram johnson
Here 'Johnson' is last name of 'ram', But it displayed under the 'Middle name' column, as the employee does not have the middle name.
But i want file in the format shown below.
Eid First Name Middle Name Last name
7 raj reddy petter
8 ram johnson
Please suggest me what i need to do to generate the file in the required format.
Thanks in Advance..
Regards
SreeniHi,
You can handle this in mapping. just pur a condition for all the fields(middle name, last name) if missing like
field---
equalS-----If then----Constant(Space)-----Target field ---else----Field-----Target Field.
Constant(blank)
Thanks! -
Extracting file Prog. --- TAB delimation Issue??
Hi Experts,
Am extracting the VBRK, VBRP data to BDW server & AL11 <u><b>as TAB delimited.</b></u>Number of fileds/columns in Extract file is 40.
So,
my first_record contains 38 fields/columns(i.e. 38 fileds r populating) and
my second_record contains 40 fields/columns(i.e. 40 fileds r populating)
i.e. in first_record 2 columns r not populating, bcoz of selection criteria, fine.
Issue:
bcoz of NOT populating of 2 filelds in first_record, the TAB(delimination) is mismatching with second_record i.e. one value is not coming UNDER the same column of second_record, finally, loading of data column wise getting incorrect!!!!
So, pls. let me know that,
1 - Why SAP is not considering the blank/unpopulated fields/columns for TAB delimation?
2- How Can I fix it?

Upload tab-delimited file from the application server to an internal table
Hello SAPients.
I'm using OPEN DATASET..., READ DATASET..., CLOSE DATASET to upload a file from the application server (SunOS). I'm working with SAP 4.6C. I'm trying to upload a tab-delimited file to an internal table but when I try load it the fields are not correctly separated, in fact, they are all misplaced and the table shows '#' where supposedly there was a tab.
I tried to SPLIT the line using as separator a variable with reference to CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB but for some reason that class doesn't exist in my system.
Do you know what I'm doing wrong? or Do you know a better method to upload a tab-delimited file into an internal table?
Thank you in advance for your help.Try:

Edited by: Rob Burbank on Apr 7, 2009 11:08 AMHi,
Use the attribute HORIZONTAL_TAB of Class CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES. In the below code Tab delimitor is added after every field.
Example :
CONCATENATE wa_field1 wa_field2.....wa_fieldn INTO l_string SEPARATED BY
CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB -

Edited by: jazib on Jan 21, 2009 8:15 PMthanx for the re Dalerich1, but no, unfortunately i have a
banking CRM-app which i have to simulate, and within that
simulation swf there has to be that functionality.
plus, since the app is still in development, it may change
within the next couple of weeks, so i'd have to be able to record
the functionality again with captivate (customer requirement) &
then efficiently & quickly make it work like in the real thing.
otherwise (if thmy customer wouldn't insist in using
captivate) i might have dropped captivate in favor of flash a long
time ago...
any other directions anybody? i can't believe this simple
task is costing me so much time and effort.

Thanks,
ShrikanthHi ,
In ECC 6 if all the unicode patches are applied then UTF 16 will defintly work..
More over i would suggest you to ist replace # with some other * or , and then try to see in debugging if any further # appears..
and no # appears then try to split now.
if even now the # appears after replace statement then try to find out what exactly is it... wheather it is a horizantal tab etc....
and then again try to replace it and then split..
Please follow the process untill all the # are replaced...
This should work for you..
Let me know if you further face any issue...

To import addresses, need format of tab delimited file
I am trying to import addresses from my G3 PB Mozilla App. I exported addresses on G3 to both ldif and tab-delimited files and then attached to an email message which I sent to myself. I received email on Mac mini, but the 2 files showed up inline, not as attachments. I copied the ldif portion to a text file; ditto for tab-delimited. I tried importing into Address Book, but got message that format was not valid.
Can't I just edit the tab-delimited file in TextEdit, save as RTF, and get Address Book to recognize the data?
Thanks,

Import text into a form from a tab delimited file using an action
Good evening.
I am using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro
I have been working all weekend so far on this, and have tried many options.
What I am wanting is to import a line of data from an excel file into a form, save the file with a name drived from the form fields, close the new file, then go back to the original file, import a line of data, and so on and so on.
I had all of this working in livecyle with a tool, but now that we are going to Windows 8 and Microsoft Office 2013, the driver that I need to load the excel file into the form is not available--so now I have to redo the forms in Adobe and import using a tab delimited file.
I would like to do this with an action.
Thus far, I have the following.
**Credit goes to George Johnson who helped me with the script to save the file using field names a few months ago**
To start, I have a folder level script
mySaveAs = app.trustPropagatorFunction(function(doc,path)
app.beginPriv();
var myDoc = event.target;
myDoc.saveAs(path);
app.endPriv();
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc = app.trustedFunction(function(doc,path)
//privileged and/or non-privileged code above
app.beginPriv();
mySaveAs(doc, path);
app.endPriv
//Privileged and/or non-privileged code below
For the Action, I start with the Form file loaded
Then I execute a javascript to import the text into the file.
this.importTextData("/c/data/clerical.txt");
The next step is to save the file using field names as part of the file name
--credit goes to George Johnson who assisted me with this on a similar project a few months ago.
//Get the Field Value
var fn=getField("Last").valueAsString + "-" + getField("First").valueAsString;
//Specify the folder
var fldr = "/c/data/";
//Determine the full path
var fp=fldr + fn + ".pdf";
//save the file
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc(this, fp);
That is as far as I have gotten.
What I want to do now is load the original form file, import the next line into the form, save the file, repeat.
If anyone could assist me, I would greatly appreciate it.
**note I had to type this from my I-pad because I kept getting kicked off the internet from my computer. I hope my code is typed correctly.George
Thank you so much for your response.
Yes--there are multiple lines in the data file--it will vary from month to month. It looks like from what you are saying is that I need to do the global variable since it will constantly change, and then increment it as it goes through the text file. When it reaches the end, then it will stop.
I looked at the following links--but this is from Adobe 9 API--I don't know if things have changed with XI--especially since 9 used batch processing and XI has actions.

I am not exactly sure how to include this in my code.
If you could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. -
Store table data in a tab separated file in oracle apex
How to store table data in a tab separated file in oracle apex ?
Suppose i have a table 'Table1' as shown below.
id name
1 x
2 y
I want to get the result 'select * from table1;' into a tab separated file in oracle apex.For client you could
- invoke call to Oracle Reports, where an .rdf is ready to generate one for you
- utilise download as csv option in interactive reports
- call page that generates csv using htp package (CSV Download without Header, possible?
- modify an interactive report to do a similar thing (http://www.talkapex.com/2009/04/custom-download-for-apex-interactive.html) -
How to convert Mail attachment file Tab Delimited file to XML.
Hi PI Experts
I have XI scenario: MAIL XI SAP (ABAP Proxy), the process is
1. XI will receive tab delimited file as attachment in mail.
2. XI will convert the tab delimited file into XML, then map to the target structure.
3. Target will be posted into ECC through ABAP Proxy.
Can anyone help me how can I convert the attachment file (i.e. Tab delimited file) to XML while configuring the sender side.
Thanks in AdvanceI just grabed what I answered from another thread. It should work.
Processing sequence as follows:
1. localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean Local Enterprise Bean swap1
2. localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean Local Enterprise Bean tran1
3. sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean Local Enterprise Bean mail
Module Configuration as follows: Fill the XXXX part with your info.
swap1 swap.keyName payload-name
swap1 swap.keyValue MailAttachment-1
tran1 Transform.Class com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.Conversion
tran1 Transform.ContentType ext/xml;charset=utf-8
tran1 xml.conversionType SimplePlain2XML
tran1 xml.documentName XXXXXXX_Mail
tran1 xml.documentNamespace http://XXXXX.com.au/XXXX
tran1 xml.fieldSeparator \t
tran1 xml.processFieldNames fromConfiguration
tran1 xml.structureTitle rows
Once you set up the above configuration, you will get one record at a time.
Create a souce message interface like the followings:
XXXXXXXXX_Mail
rows
record
Target message interface:
XXXXXXXXX
rows
field 1
field 2
field 3
Write a UDF function to remove the TAB space
public removeTABSpace(String record,Container container){
//write your code here
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(record,"\t",false);
String t="";
while (st.hasMoreElements()) t += st.nextElement();
return t;
Write another UDF to get the field 1 for example:
public String getField1(String input,Container container){
int counter=0;
int beginIndex=0;
int endIndex=0;
int i;
for (i=0;i<input.length();i++){
if (input.charAt(i)==34){
counter=counter+1;
if (counter==1){
beginIndex=i+1;
counter=0;
break;
for (i=0;i<input.length();i++){
if (input.charAt(i)==34){
counter=counter+1;
if (counter==2){
endIndex=i;
counter=0;
break;
input=input.substring(beginIndex,endIndex);
return input;
Get the mapping like the followings:
record - removeTABSpace - getField1 - field 1
If you need to get field 2, you will need to write another UDF similar to the above one to handle it.
