Transfer Dataset

Hi all,
I have declared an internal table in the following way.
tyeps: begin of tys_sample,
          a(9),
          b(9),
          end of tys_sample.
data: gt_sample type standard table of tys_sample,
        gs_sample type tys_sample.
made some operations on the internal table and appended with data, now I need to transfer this internal table content into a dataset.
Did in the following way.
open dataset gv_file for input in text mode " gv_file contains the file path.
transfer gt_sample to dataset gv_file.
while doing syntax check for this program I am getting an error that GT_sample is not an internal table.
I can efford to loop the internal table into work area and pass the work are to the file.
Please let me know the answer. It is urgent.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mungala.

Hey praveena,
There is no direct way to move internal table directly to a file. You will have to loop through each record.
IF you dont wanna move records to work area then, define header line for internal table:
tyeps: begin of tys_sample,
a(9),
b(9),
end of tys_sample.
data: gt_sample type standard table of tys_sample WITH HEADER LINE
gs_sample type tys_sample.
open dataset gv_file for input in text mode " gv_file contains the file path.
loop at GT_SAMPLE.
transfer gt_sample to gv_file.
ENDLOOP.

Hi,
to open a data set, you need to have the path for the application server file, to see the application server files. goto AL11 transaction code, there you will find the directories then inside it you will find sub directories then you will find the file names, there you need to open the file using the open datasets ..
you have written DATA : FNAME(90) VALUE 'j:/ hai.txt'. , but this is not a application server file name, just goto AL11 then you will find the file names and give the correct path

I am working with the transcation f-30, But this question is on technical area.
So after complition of BDC program excution, if you go for this screen in ALL DISPLAY MODE , you will get one list of documents, which are POSTED or SIMULATED.
So Now my question is,
I want to save this records as a LOG FILE to application server. For this I am having selection screen parameter too.
But how can I Transfer this list to the output file?
Thanks,

Hi
U need to "write" the log in the file instead of in the list.

Function like GUI_UPLOAD/GUI_DOWNLOAD for background

Is there a function or functions that work the same way as GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD but can be run both in the foreground and background?

GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD can only work in the foreground. The reason for this is that they use some code which reside on the frontend PC. A background process knows nothing of the PC connected thru SAPgui. In order to "download" data to files, you must write the files to the application layer using OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER DATASET, CLOSE DATASET.

BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 fails in Background

Hi everyone,
I wrote an ABAP-report calling BAPI 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2'.
This ABAP has to create a document and upload files per FTP into DMS (Checkin)
Works Online fine (cause the BAPI avoids FTP as a GUI is online available) but miserably fails in background:
Message: RFC callback calls are not allowed in the ABAP...
This message comes from a failed call of the FM 'SYSTEM_START_REG_SERVER'
in the FM 'CV120_FTP_START_REG_SERVER' as described in an old thread (Error in Check in of Originals by BAPI In background)
Sample of the BAPI-call:
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2'
    EXPORTING
      documentdata         = documentdata
      pf_ftp_dest          = 'SAPFTPA'
    IMPORTING
      documenttype         = documenttype
      documentnumber       = documentnumber
      documentpart         = documentpart
      documentversion      = documentversion
      return               = return
    TABLES
      documentdescriptions = documentdescriptions
      objectlinks          = objectlinks
*      documentstructure    = documentstructure.
*      documentfiles        = documentfiles
*      documentstructure    = documentstructure.
      documentfiles        = documentfiles.
I tried a lot, even in 2 steps (first create the doc per BAPI, second checkin per call of CVAPI_DOC_CHECKIN)
but in everycase, i always get the same problem...
Any help will greatly be appreciated : i daily and manually (ok, even if 1 report launch per day is sufficent) have to upload aprox.
2000 PDFs ...
Thanks in advance for answering...

Hi everyone,
Due to holidays, i gotta post under another account...
There was a logical mistake in my problem:
-> i thought i had to do the physical checkin of the files while or after the BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2-call.
In my case, the content-server is reachable from the app-server as it's been defined in the AL11.
The content-server is directly defined in table TDWD with complete directorypath as a vault-server (NO DVA-VAULT).
The SAP-FBs do actually handle two cases for file-checkin that can suit my concern::
-> DVA-Vault?->FTP-Connect for filetransfer
-> No DVA-Vault? ->Local GUI-Upload for filetransfer
For background-processing fails always the GUI-Upload -> normal
I don't use any DVA-Vault -> i must do something else.
Solution: Ridiculously easy...
*-> FIRST :Physical Checkin over a stupid TRANSFER DATASET for the file.
*If OK:
*->SECOND: Call of BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 with reference to the transferred File
*      ->Structure BAPI_DOC_DRAW2:
*          -> Short Dataname in BAPI_DOC_DRAW2-docfile1
*          -> Datacarrier in BAPI_DOC_DRAW2-datacarrier1 (actually the key for the VAULT-server)
*          -> App.type in BAPI_DOC_DRAW2-wsapplication1.
*          -> Description, Documentype, username, laboratory are must-fields with my customizing too.
*       ->Internal Table BAPI_DOC_FILES2:
*          -> Short Dataname in BAPI_DOC_FILES2-docfile
*          -> Datacarrier in BAPI_DOC_FILES2-storagecategory (actually the key for the VAULT-server)
*          -> App.type in BAPI_DOC_FILES2-wsapplication.
*          -> no other fields required for this table
*       ->(...)
*endif.
Now it runs fine every 5 minutes and i handle about 3000 documents a day...
I give points to Phillip van den Heever who reminded me the AL11-Setting and i mark this topic solved as soon as i can...

Extract & Store pdf SD billing document from archivelink content Repository

Hello friends,
Can some one give me a hint on this :
I have a requirement to create a program which will extract the pdf SD billing document from archivelink content Repository and will save pdf files on application servers's directory.
We have business Object, Content Repository ID, Document type know for this.
thanks
ashish

use FM : ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_TABLE to get the content in bin format..
then use open dataset, transfer dataset, close dataset to store that in OS level.. task done..
you can even use GUI_DOWNLOAD if you want to download it to presentation server.

ABAP program to make a Hierarchy flatfile structure?

Hi,
Is there any ABAP program by which we can make a flat file structure in the conventional format ? ( Nodeid,Infoobject,Nodename etc---)
Because here i just cannot make the flat file manually as the document i have is huge one, having somany nodes and levels that it is almost impossible to write down on a paper too!
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi,
I have used the following function modules to breakdown the hierarchy. You can write a simple abap program and download the heirarchy breakdown.
CLAF_CLASSIFICATION_OF_OBJECTS - this function module will return the class information for the hierarchy.
Use the internal table i_class (filled by the above function module) and pass the relevant fields to the FM CC_LS_GET_CLASS_HIER_STRUCTURE.
The entire hierarchy then becomes available in the table 'class_structure'. Use appropriate methods to download to the presentation ( FM WS_DOWNLOAD GUI_DOWNLOAD) / application servers (OPEN Dataset/Transfer Dataset/CLose dataset).

Creating a file to be used by report ROIUH_LOAD_JEINTF for journal entry

Hello everyone,
My doubt is related to the PRA module -
I have to create a file to be used by program ROiUH_LOAD_JEINTF for journal entry creation. There are other programs also creating a similar file to what I am expected to create.
When I observe the existing programs, they have not used OPEN DATASET statement, instead directly used the TRANSFER dataset and then CLOSE DATASET.
What that does is it creates a file on the app server in a different format with only 1 line even if there may be like 10 lines of journal entry. The file mainly contains # which seems like some internal coding by the system.
When I tried using the OPEN DATASET statement, it wrote all the lines to the app server that were there in my internal table.
However, when I do not use the OPEN DATASET statement, it creates a file with just one line and maily # instead of the actual data from internal table.
Can any one explain what difference does it make to the system when we do not use the OPEN DATASET statement.
You help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Shipra.

Hello Satish,
Thank you for your response.
I think I was not clear enough about my doubt. I do not have any confusion about what OPEN DATASET would do.
In my case, there is a file being written to the app server without using an OPEN DATASET for OUTPUT statement. The Z program directly calls a TRANSFER statement.
The file that is created on the app server looks like:
7042008-11-01 000200100840 ######RD##################203 #### #####10012888 #####RI01 MC3
This file is used by the program ROIUH_LOAD_JEINTF. There are several lines in the internal table for Journal Entry creation but only 1 line shows in the file. However, when you debug the program ROIUH_LOAD_JEINTF with the above filename, you would see that it takes up all the JE lines that were passed from the previous program (the Z program) which created this file.
However, when I changed the Z program to have an OPEN DATASET statement, it had all the lines displayed in the file, the file was very readable.
I just wanted to know how does the system write to app server when no OPEN DATASET statement is written in the program.
Hope I am clear this time. Thanks again.
Regards,
Shipra.

Uploading from File Server

hi,
    i have a BDC program to be done however the file is in File server so wht shud i do inorder to access the file the file server for example the path is given :
127.1.1.10\SharedFolder\20070704.txt
and i have authorization set on it and i have been given a user id and password to access the folder so wht shud i be doin to read the file from the given location

Hi
Use the Tcode CG3Y to bring the file from Application to Local server and write the ordinary BDC code
other wise
Use OPEN DATASET concept..
READ dataset
TRANSFER dataset
CLOSE dataset
see the sample code
START-OF-SELECTION.
ld_file = p_infile.
OPEN DATASET ld_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
ELSE.
DO.
    CLEAR: wa_string, wa_uploadtxt.
    READ DATASET ld_file INTO wa_string.
    IF sy-subrc NE 0.
      EXIT.
    ELSE.
      SPLIT wa_string AT con_tab INTO wa_uploadtxt-name1
                                      wa_uploadtxt-name2
                                      wa_uploadtxt-age.
      MOVE-CORRESPONDING wa_uploadtxt TO wa_upload.

What is the Unix command to concatenate two files and merget it in to one ?

Hi Experts,
I have three jobs and each job creates a file. I want to run one more job which clubs these three files and merges it in to one.
I know the process of opening each file and appending it in to the target file using DATASET concept.
Instead of that, I want any UNIX Shell command so that I can call that directly from ABAP and execute it
Any help on this would be highly appreciated
Thanks in advance.
Babu Kilari

Hello Babu,
We can very well call an OS command from within ABAP, but in your case, I don't think that is really required. Please find below a logic that might be helpful to you.
You have three files, whose contents needs to be merged into a single file.
Read the contents of each file and store it into an internal table.
DATA: command LIKE rs37a-line.
DATA: BEGIN OF tabl OCCURS 0,
          line(2000),
      END OF tabl.
command = 'cat /tmp/file1.txt'.
CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD command
              ID 'TAB'     FIELD tabl-*sys*.
Internal table 'tabl' will contain the contents of the file.
Accumulate all the contents into a single file and upload to the application server using OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER DATASET and CLOSE DATASET.
Let me know if you need a more detailed explanation.
Regards
Sabu.
