Tab Delimited Data Outpu

Can anyone help to get a Tab Delimited datafile as ouput in
Spool? How to get the tab between fields?

Select fielda, ',', fieldb, ',' , fieldc
from tablename;
will do it for a quick and easy fix. However, it doesn't
protect you from embedded commas in a text field.
Select '"'||Rtrim(textfield)||'"', ',' , numberfield
from tablename;
Will give an output with "textfield",89 etc.

so what settings are needed and how should my file be formatted. doe sthis function work for XMl or text files or both?
Now when I use load xml function I get this error
Xml parsing error: syntax error (error code 2), line 1, column 1 of file

Tab Delimited data from file into array

Could someone give me a full example of how to pull strings out of a text file and insert into an array. I have posted a couple of times and the segments of code that I get back isn't working. I don't know where I am going wrong exactly, so I would like to see a full example. Here is what I posted last.
I don't want to use a loop. I want to specify what each array element is and how may there are before it is run.
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
import java.io.*;
public class ReadDataFile
public static void main(String args[])
try
FileReader fr = new FileReader("DataFile");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
String s;
String data[] = new String[12];
int count = 0;
while((s = br.readLine()) != null)
StringTokenizer st =new StringTokenizer(s);
data[0] = st.nextToken();

Just return String array instead of returning vector and change tokanizer according to ur requirement
public Vector valuesarr(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res,String user,String filename,String folder)

Acquire data from a tab delimited file using a popup dialog object on a stamp

I am trying to import data from a tab delimited file using a popup dialog object on a stamp. I have purchased the book by Thom Parker--All About PDF Stamps in Acrobat and Paperless Workflows and have been working through the examples in the appendix.
My problem is understanding how to bring the data into the dialog object from the file.
I don't want to plagiarize his book--so am electing at this time not to show my code. The script is reading the file, just not bringing in the records from the file so that I can select which line to import into the stamp.
I have typed in the code exactly how the book describes, but when the popup dialog object is selected, there is nothing in the drop-down. When I click OK, the first record is put on the stamp--except for the fields that I am wanting to appear in the dialog object popup box.
I have searched the forums, and also the JavaScript reference. There are examples of the popup dialog object, but none of them show how to import the data from a file--just for the items to be typed in as the list.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! i have been trying to work on this for several months now.

Karl
Thank you for getting back with me!
In answer to your questions:
1. Your trusted function is not a trusted function. Did you put this
function into a folder level script so that it will get executed at system
startup?--
yes--I saved the script as a .js file and put it in the following path (I have Acrobat XI Pro for Windows)
C:\Documents and Settings\tjohnson\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\Privileged\11.0\JavaScripts\GetTabData.js
2. The script cannot find your tab delimited data file, or it cannot
extract the data. Did you add the data file in the correct location? The
location from the script in the book would be c:\mydata\Contacts.txt
Yes--the file is in the same path as the book.
Below is my code that references the file.
var cPath = "/c/mydata/Contacts.txt";
the slashes in the book go in the direction of the text above--should they go in the direction that you have in your question?
Also, the name and email address need to be separated by one Tab character.
They are.
3. The fields need to be named the same way as the columns in the data file (the two names are in the first line of the file).
My headings are RevByFromTab and EmailFromTab--which match the names of the two fields on the stamp.
So, check that you are not getting any errors in the JavaScript console
(Ctrl-J or Cmd-J), and verify that the tab delimited file is in the correct
location
When I run in the java script console--and I just run the script on the stamp,
it says
TypeError: event.source is null
17:Console:Exec
undefined
When I place the stamp on the page, the popup box is working, but when you click on the down arrow, there is nothing listed. When I click OK, the RevByFromTab is populated by the first item in the file, but the EmailFromTab field says undefined.
Thank you

No support for tab-delimited (or other character-delimited) data export

First, to echo others' comments, I am thoroughly impressed with this project. This is a well-designed application that feels very professional and reasonably robust for beta. I only wish that Oracle had invested the resources to do this earlier.
To the point, in the right-click pop-up menu within the data results tab there is an "Export" sub-menu. This menu has various options for exporting raw data. However, it does not provide the ability to export tab-delimited data or to change the delimiter arbitrarily.
This feature is particularly important for data containing special characters. For example address data, even after parsing into standard fields, may still contain commas rendering a CSV export useless.
This would be a very useful enhancement.

There is an export to Tables in Microsoft Excel option. Did you try that?

Tab delimited file on app server. How to do that?

Hello,
When i transfer a tab delimited file from pre. server(windows) to app. server(windows) using CG3Z , the tab delimitation is not working.
for eg : the file with below layout
01.04.2007 31.03.2008 1 120
01.05.2007 31.07.2008 2 140
is getting changed like
01.04.2007#31.03.2008#1#120
01.05.2007#31.07.2008#2#140
All i need is a tab delimited file in app server also . Wats that i need to do for this ? Also how can i write a tab delimited file on app server through my program using open dataset.
Thanks for ur time.

Hi..
Check this code: you will find the solution:
Using the Static Attribute CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB
Example:
This is the Simple way you can download the ITAB with Tab delimiter:
DATA : V_REC(200).
OPEN DATASET P_FILE FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA.
Concatenate WA-FIELD1 WA-FIELD2
 INTO V_REC
 SEPARATED BY CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.
TRANSFER V_REC TO P_FILE.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET P_FILE.
Note: if there are any Numeric fields ( Type I, P, F) In your ITAB then before CONCATENATE you have to Move them to Char fields ..
Reward if Helpful.
Example:
DATA: V_RECORD(200).
OPEN DATASET P_FILE FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
DO.
READ DATASET P_FILE INTO V_RECORD.
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
 EXIT.
ENDIF.
SPLIT V_Record at CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB
 INTO WA-FIELD1 WA-FIELD2.
APPEND WA TO ITAB.
ENDDO.
reward if Helpful.

Large line to internal tables from tab delimited file

Dear All
I am trying to upload the large file of tab delimited data into a SAP internal table. I am basically stuck with the fact that there are multiple lines and multiple columns in tab delimited file. There are around 300 columns which are tab delimited and separated
For e.g (* indicates tab)
1material*****************1**9888**********5**********34*********3*********346************************-->upto 5000 columns
1material*****************1**99338************4***********************************6************7************-->upto 5000 columns
1material*****************1**22888********************5*********7*********************6*****7**************-->upto 5000 columns
1material*****************1**44844************************5***5*********************************************-->upto 5000 columns
1material***********34****1**54*******33********33*****33**************************************************-->upto 5000 columns
1material*****************1**99888*****************************************************************************-->upto 5000 columns
below upto 500 rows or more
I want to read this file into a columner internal table.
I am trying several ways . I have file on APP server. However Line breaks after 1024 characters or comes on another line.
Currently I am not able to load it in single line of internal table. The structure of file is dynamic .. not static
Amol

Hi Amolsonaikar,
you may try like this:
TYPES:
begin of line,
t_field type table of string,
end of line,
t_line type table of line.
DATA:
lt_line type t_line,
lv_line type string,
lt_field type table of string.
open dataset 'XYZ' for input in text mode encoding default.
while sy-subrc = 0.
read dataset into lv_line.
split lv_line at '|' into lt_field.
append lt_field to lt_line.
endwhile.

GUI_UPLOAD can't upload data in a tab-delimited text file

Hi.
I was trying to upload data in a tab-delimited textfile.
I could do it for a ASC textfile (by setting FILETYPE = 'ASC'), but I couldn't do it for a tab-delimited textfile (by setting FILETYPE = 'DAT').
Any help is appreciated.

hi kian,
If u r using DAT file then HAS_FIELD_SEPERATOR should contain X.
check the following code:
parameters: p_file like rlgrap-filename. " File Name.
call function 'GUI_UPLOAD'
 exporting
 filename = p_file " NAME of the file
 filetype = 'DAT'
 has_field_separator = 'X ' " X indicates Fields are separated by tabs.
 tables
 data_tab = t_file " Internal table that contains the file data
 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
 others = 17.
IF the file type is DAT then following rules applies.
The components of the internal table are filled from the file. If the
table contains several columns, the entries in the file must be
separated by tabs. No conversion exits are carried out.
The following applies for the different data types:
- I or N or P or F
 The numbers must be formatted according to the decimal representation
 defined in the user settings.
 - D
 The date must be defined according to the date format defined in the
 user settings.
 - T
 The time must have the format hh:mm:ss.

T-code F.27 or F.61 send raw data (tab delimited) to customers statements

To enable intercompany customers to reconcile their accounts with ease we want to give them an excel file of all open items.
Our thoughts are to use T-code F.27 (standard transaction for generating account statements) or F.61 and instead of sending a form, we would like to send raw data (tab delimited) which can easily be opened in excel to their email address.
Each time I try I can only get a pdf or fixed file.
Has anyone else done this?
How to do, create this?
Export text file to SAP Gui ?
Many thanks for any ideas or help
Edited by: Christine Kendall on Mar 16, 2010 6:00 PM
*has anyone else extracted info to send to customers in format that can be amended i.e excel ? *

Hi
do you find a solution for your issue? Or did anyone else know how to send raw data instead of the pdf or fixed file from transaction F.61?
Thanks for any ideas or help

Importing data from tab delimited file

Hi everyone,
This is my first question on here so I hope I am doing the right thing.
I've searched online as much as I can to find an answer or a way to fix my problem but I have not been able to find a resolution.
My issue is I'm trying to import name and contact information from a excel file, that I have saved as a tab delimited file, into a fillable PDF file. I'm able select the text file through the import option and it shows the correct information as different rows that I can import but when I select one and click on to finish the import of the data I get an error message advising that some of the text could not be imported. The issue is nothing is being imported at all.
I've made sure that all the relevant fields are the same name as what the form has but still cannot get anything to import.
Does anyone have any ideas why this may not be working? Also I basically have no ability to write JavaScript to import the information otherwise I would look at travelling down that path.
Please let me know if I need to be any more specific.
Regards,
Adam

Ok I can share the form itself and will need to quickly create some data itself to go along with it

Here is the tab delimited file I am trying to use (well the format anyway).

Transfer data in unix with tab-delimited

Hi,
How can we transfer data to unix with tab-delimited? I have incoming file with tab-delimited and want to copy as backup file in another folder in unix. When I read the incoming file, tab separator is translated into '#' so when I do transfer data to the backup folder, the file contains '#'.
Is there a way to transfer data in tab-delimited?

Efficent method to sort data from tab delimited text file

I am currently writing a program to sort through data that was acquired and display it on a graph and some other indicators. The file is a tab delimited text file with possibly 100,000s of data points. the current method that I have tried using was that if I wanted all of the data from Oct, I would parse out the month from the timestamp, compare that to the desired month, and add it to the array if it is the same. Other possible options of sorting are yearly and daily, possibly even hourly.
The method does work, however it does take some time (up to a minute on a P4 3.6 GHz with 2 gb ram), and most of the other computers are not nearly as fast or with as much memory. Is there a more efficent method to sorting the data??
I attached my sorting vi as well as a sample data file.
thanks for the advice. It is saved in LV8.0.1

First of all, "sorting" has usually a different meaning (Sorting and numeric array ascending or descending, a string array aphabetically, etc.). Your data already seems sorted by date and time, you just want to pick a subset having certain characteristics.
The main problem that is slowing you down is your constant growing of large arrays. This causes constant memory reallocations.
Since your data is already sorted by date and time, all you need is to place your data in a sutable data structure, find the start and end point of your selection, then use "array subset" for example.
Your code also seems to have a lot of unecessary complexity. See for example your "test for sort data" (see image below).
the four cases only differ by filename --> only the file name belongs into the case and the file operation outside the inner case. Even better, just use autoindexing.
that shift register does not do anything, because it always contains the same data. Using "index array" with index wired to [i] is equivalent to an autoindexing tunnel.
You have a case structure to select which files to read, skipped files give you an empty array. Do you really need to do all these operations on an empty array. Why not place all code inside the TRUE case??
Below is an image of one possible code alternative that addresses some of these points.
