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?
thank you

try to use delimiter cl_abap_char_utilities=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.
here is a piece of code:
REPORT ztestfile                               .
DATA: BEGIN OF gt_file_out OCCURS 0,
        filed(2000),
      END OF gt_file_out.
START-OF-SELECTION.
DATA: lv_file_out LIKE filename-fileextern.
CONCATENATE 'Hello' 'World' INTO gt_file_out SEPARATED
    BY cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
APPEND gt_file_out.
lv_file_out = '
XXXX\XXXX\mytest1.txt'.
OPEN DATASET lv_file_out FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
LOOP AT gt_file_out.
    TRANSFER gt_file_out TO lv_file_out.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET lv_file_out.

How do i transfer data from one internal tabe to another.

Hi All,
         How do i transfer data from one internal tabe to another.
         Can i do it ebven if he tables are different in structure.
Please Advice.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Saket Tiwari,
I hope the earlier post by kashyap is good enough an answer. anywas in addition to it let me give a detailed
explanation of how you can populate an internal table.
1) Append data line by line.
     Syntax : APPEND [<wa> TO / INITIAL LINE TO] <itab>.
this appends new line to internal table <itab>.
2) Using COLLECT statement.
             COLLECT is another form of statement used for populating the internal tables. Generally COLLECT is used while inserting lines into an internal table with unique standard key. The syntax for COLLECT statement is as shown
     Syntax : COLLECT [<wa> INTO] <itab>.
3) Using INSERT statement
     Syntax INSERT [<wa> INTO / INITIAL LINE INTO] <itab> [index <idx>].
INSERT statement adds a line/work area to the internal table. You can specify the position at which the new line is to be added by using the INDEX clause with the INSERT statement.
Now coming to your request..
To append part or all of an internal table
     Syntax
              APPEND LINES OF <itab1> [FROM <n1>] [TO <n2>] TO <itab2>.
*     Note:
Without the FROM and TO options, this statement appends the entire table <itab1> to <itab2>.*
b) To insert part or all of an internal table into another internal table
     Syntax
          INSERT LINES OF <itab1> [FROM <n1>] [TO <n2>]
          INTO <itab2> [INDEX <idx>].
c) Using Move statement.
To copy entire contents of one table into another in one execution
     Syntax MOVE <itab1> To <itab2>.
               OR
          <itab1> = <itab2>.
but u hav to be careful because he contents of itab2 will eb overwritten on the execution of this statement.
These copy the contents of ITAB1 to ITAB2. Incase of internal tables with header line we have to use [] inorder to distinguish from work area. So, to copy contents of internal tables with header line the syntax becomes,
ITAB1[] = ITAB2[].
Coming to the letter part of your question, Yes, we can copy values between tables having different structures.
for this we use
                            MOVE-CORRESPONDING <itab1> TO <itab2>
    this executes the statement for their header lines. Searches for the sub-fields which occur both in itab1 and itab2 and then generates, for all relevant field pairs which correspond to the
        sub-fields ni , statements of the form MOVE itab1-ni TO itab2-ni. The other fields remain unchanged.
I hope the information provided has been of your help.
Reward if useful.

Download the file in Presentation server with TAB Delimited

Hi,
I have to download the data of the finla internal table in presentation servr.
The oup put file should be TAB Delimited. I can do the same with using LOOP.
Is there any class or FM to do the same so that the out put file can be TAB Delimited.
Sandeep

HI,
you can use the fm
GUI_DOWNLOAD
in that if you see the
WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR - the import parameter, you can use this
so that the fille will be downloaded with tab delimited.

To split use something like this:
Data: rec_str(180).
data: F1(60),
        F2(60),
        F3(60)
do.
read dataset YourFile into rec_str.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
     exit.
endif.
SPLIT rec_str AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab INTO F1 F2 F3.
write:/ F1, F2, F3.
enddo.

Concatenate with 'tab' delimiter in Unicode system

Hi All,
In current system we have a program that creates a tab-delimited file with following code where wa1 and wa2 are character-type fields.
data: delim type x value '09'. (a tab in hex)
concatenate wa1 delim wa2 into wm_lstfil.
Unicode system won't allow char and hex fields to intermix. Suggestions on how to replace this code so that we continue to create a tab-delimited output line?
Thanks,
Kirsten

Hi
You can use the following...
CLASS cl_abap_char_utilities DEFINITION LOAD.
DATA: text TYPE string.
<b>Concatenate your data into variable text .... and then,</b>
REPLACE cl_abap_char_utilites=>horizontal_tab WITH space INTO text.

Hi,
Have a look at this help
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fc/eb3d35358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
I normally add the header line manually, by doing it hardcoded.
Another option is to do it via an ALV list:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/66/bc7bfd43c211d182b30000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
and
"Transfer List to Local File" screen in ALV -> Function Module???

Building a CSV with TAB Delimited

Apex 3.1.2
Customer wants to build a Apex Report with CSV output, but have TAB delimited columns, not comma delimited. Any ideas on how to insert a TAB into the CSV "Separator" column?
Thanks,
Dwight

Thanks Tony.
Appears that in my version of Apex at least, only one character can be entered in the "Separator" column so putting "\t" doesn't work. Going to massage the file afterwards. Thanks for the help.

Transfer records to UNIX with different record length

Hi all,
I have the following problem. I have to transfer records to a UNIX file. The maximum length of a record is 2000. The records are TAB seperated. I also have records which have a length less then 2000. When i look at the file in Excel the last field is always very large. Isn't there a way to only transfer the real length of the record. I have tried to transfer the record in Binary an Text mode. I used the Length statement, but nothing worked for me.
Hope anyone can help me.
Greetings Maarten

Hi Maarten,
"Transfer" with "length" option should work. I am not sure what you passed as length to the "transfer" command. Did you used a fixed length of 2000 or did you actually found out the record length of each record and passed that value?
Scenario 1.
Here in this scenario, you will always have the last field set to maximum length.
loop at itab.
transfer itab-record to file length 2000.
endloop.
Scenario 2.
In this second scenario, you should have your excel's last field set to the maximum occupied length of that field.
loop at itab.
v_len = strlen( itab-record ).
transfer itab-record to file length v_len.
endloop.
Hope this helps.

Sorry, you can't do that. You won't be able to use that backup on your 3G.

Transfer data for text with BDC?

why there isn't a field for me to assign text contents to realize inserting text into TEXT in S/O?
perform bdc_field       using 'BDC_OKCODE'
                              '=T\08'.

perform bdc_transaction using 'VA02'.
enddo.
perform close_group.
perform close_dataset using dataset.

Hello.
You can't insert TEXTS in bdc. Use FM SAVE_TEXT to insert TEXT after the BDC.
As an alternative, you can use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 or BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE to insert texts.
Best regards.

Download Tab Delimited file from spool!

Hi Experts,
Is there any way to download tab delimited txt file from spool?
Spool is created for Statements and Invoices from Sap Script and Smartform which is in OTF format.
I am able to download this in Text file but I need this file in tab delimited format.

I don't understand what you want to do as it seems impossible : the spool contains miscellaneous data, not compatible with tab delimited files which are used to store 2-dimensional tables (columns, rows).
