what i understand from this is system does not identify v_data_array as array for some reasons, please help me.
initially system was giving error for hex_to_decimal, but i managed to get this function on discussion forum and now it seems to be ok. but v_data_array problem is still there.
thanks in advance

How to upload file to server physical directory

Dear Sir,
My Software Details:
Oracle9i Release 1
Oracle9iAS 1.0.2.2.2
Solaris 8
I have a web application developed using PL/SQL.
How do i upload a file from user to a server physical directory through Oracle9iAS without storing in database?
I can do this if file is uploaded to a 9ias upload table.
But i'm looking for solution on uploading file straight to the physical server directory.
Please advise.
Thanks.
Regards,
Jap Boon Churn

Hi Jap,
You won't be able to do this with modplsql if that is what you are asking. modplsql only uploads file into the database.
With that said, however, you can write your own CGI/Servlet/Perl program that does the uploading of files into the server physical directory. In your program, you will need to handle HTTP POST requests so that you can parse out the file contents and write it out onto the file system.
I am sure there is already some CGI/Servlet/Perl program out there that does this. If you search on Google, you should be able to find some and modify it to your needs. Hope that helps. Thanks.

Actually I read some already answered posts. But still I have some doubts.
Can anybody please send me the code.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Priya,
Check this code
Yhe logic used here is as follows,
Get all the data into an internal table in the simple format ie: a row with one field contains an entire line
After getting the data, we split each line of the table on every occurrence of the delimiter (comma in your case)
Here, I have named the fields as field01, field02 etc, you could use your own names according to your requirement
parameters: p_file(512).
DATA : BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,
          COL1(1024) TYPE C,
         END OF ITAB,
         WA_ITAB LIKE LINE OF ITAB.
DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB_2 OCCURS 0,
    FIELD01(256),
    FIELD02(256),
    FIELD03(256),
    FIELD04(256),

    FIELD06(256),
    FIELD07(256),
    FIELD08(256),

    FIELD13(256),
    FIELD14(256),
    FIELD15(256),
    FIELD16(256),
   END OF ITAB_2.
DATA: WA_2 LIKE LINE OF ITAB_2.
    OPEN DATASET p_FILE FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 8.
      WRITE:/ 'File' , p_FILE , 'cannot be opened'.
      LV_LEAVEPGM = 'X'.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
    WHILE SY-SUBRC <> 4.
      READ DATASET p_FILE INTO WA_ITAB.
      APPEND WA_ITAB TO ITAB.
    ENDWHILE.
    CLOSE DATASET p_FILE.
LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA_ITAB.
    SPLIT WA_ITAB-COL1 AT ','    " where comma is ur demiliter
     INTO WA_2-FIELD01 WA_2-FIELD02 WA_2-FIELD03 WA_2-FIELD04

Upload csv file data to sql server tables

Hi all,
I want clients to upload csv file from their machines to the server.
Then the program should read all the data from the csv file and do a bulk insert into the SQL Server tables.
Please help me of how to go about doing this.
Thanx in advance.....

1) Use a multipart form with input type="file" to let the client choose a file.
2) Get the binary stream and put it in a BufferedReader.
3) Read each line and map it to a DTO and add each DTO to a list.
4) Persist the list of DTO's.

How to import an .csv file into the database?

and can we code the program in JSP to import the.csv file into the database.

It is better to use Java class to read the CSV file and store the contents in the database.
You can use JSP to upload the CSV file to the server if you want, but don't use it to perform database operations.
JSPs are good for displaying information on the front-end, and for displaying HTML forms, there are other technologies more suitable for the middle layer, back end and the database layer.
So break you application into
1) Front end - JSPs to display input html forms and to display data retrieved from the database.
2) Middle layer - Servlets and JavaBeans to interact with JSPs. The code that reads the CSV file to parse it's contents should be a Java Class in the middle layer. It makes use of Java File I/O
3) Database layer - Connects to the database using JDBC (Java Database Connectivity), and then writes to the database with SQL insert statements.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Keeping the above concepts in mind, first build a simple JSP and get it to work,
then research on Google , for Java File I/O , discover how to read a file,
Then search on how to readh a CSV file using Java.
After researching you should be able to read the CSV file line by line and store each line inside a Collection.
Then research on Google, on how to write to the database using JDBC
Write a simple program that inserts something to a dummy table in the database.
Then, read the data stored in the Collection, and write insert statements for each records in the collection.

Reading a CSV file from server

Hi All,
I am reading a CSV file from server and my internal table has only one field with lenght 200. In the input CSV file there are more than one column and while splitting the file my internal table should have same number of rows as columns of the input record.
But when i do that the last field in the internal table is appened with #.
Can somebody tell me the solution for this.
U can see the my code below.
data: begin of itab_infile occurs 0,
         input(3000),
      end of itab_infile.
data: begin of itab_rec occurs 0,
         record(200),
      end of itab_rec.
data: c_comma(1) value ',',
        open dataset f_name1 for input in text mode encoding default.
        if sy-subrc <> 0.
          write: /, 'FILE NOT FOUND'.
          exit.
        endif.
do
read dataset p_ipath into waf_infile.
split itab_infile-input at c_sep into table itab_rec.
enddo.
Thanks in advance.
Sunil

Sunil,
You go not mention the platform on which the CSV file was created and the platform on which it is read.
A common problem with CSV files created on MS/Windows platforms and read on unix is the end-of-record (EOR) characters.
MS/Windows usings <CR><LF> as the EOR
Unix using either <CR> or <LF>
If on unix open the file using vi in a telnet session to confirm the EOR type.
The fix options.
1) Before opening the opening the file in your ABAP program run the unix command dos2unix.
2) Transfer the file from the MS/Windows platform to unix using FTP using ascii not bin. This does the dos2unix conversion on the fly.
3) Install SAMBA and share the load directory to the windows platforms. SAMBA also handles the dos2unix and unix2dos conversions on the fly.
Hope this helps

Uploading CSV file problem

Hello everyone.
I have a minor problem in uploading CSV file to HTMLDB.
I don't know the exact reason, but HTMLDB threw
"ORA-20001: Unable to create collection: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error" whenever I tried to upload my csv file. after a few repetition of deleting potential problem-causing columns and trying again, I found out the following:
when numeric value and character value are stored together in single column, the upload fails. For example, we have a column which stores the employee number. The employee number is just a sequential numeric value, however temporary employees have 'T' in front of their employee number, so it begins something like T0032 and so on.
So, then, I tried to enclose all the employee numbers which start with numeric value with " character, but that would just simply take too long to do it manually, and excel does not seem to support enclosing the values with " when it's saving the spreadsheet with CSV format.
So, I'm kind of stuck right now.
Can anyone give me a good way to deal it?
THANK YOU!

Thanks for updating my forum setting, my name is now clearly visible :-)
anyway.. I went back and tested couple of things...
It now appears that the problem is not caused from values inside the column... instead..
I believe the size of csv file with certain character set is the issue here...
This is a rough estimate, but file size larger than about 31.7 ~ 9kb caused errors IF THEY CONTAINED OTHER CHARACTER SET THAN ENGLISH.
here are informations about my setting:
1. Oracle database: initially 9.2.0.1 -> patched upgrade to 9.2.0.4
2. HTMLDB: 1.4.0.00.21c (downloaded from otn)
3. db character set : UTF-8
4. OS: windows 2000 (with up-todate service pack and
security patches and etc..)
5. system: toshiba tecra 2100 with 1GB ram and 40GB hdd
6. operation system locale: korean, south korea
I tried uploading many other files in both english and korean, which is my national language. The english csv file worked beautifully, without any file size limitations. However, when I tried to upload a file with
KOREAN characters in it, it failed.
Intrigued by this behavior I started to test the file upload with various excel files, and found out that..
1. english csv files caused absolutely no errors.
2. engilsh file with single korean character immediately
threw the error, if the size exceeded 31.8kb (or I
think the size is 32kb)
3. I tested korean file mixed english file, caused
the same error if the size exceeded 32kb.
the distribution of korean characters inside the
csv file did not matter, just don't go beyond 32kb!
Please reproduce this behavior (but I presume that some efforts will be required in order to reproduce this error perfectly, since it is not easy to obtain foreign OS in US regions.. is it?)
anyway, thanks for your quick reply, and
I hope this problem gets fixed, because in this manner,
I have to split my file into 32kb chunks!

Error in uploading CSV (comma delimited) to database!!!!

Hello,
I'm karthik. We have a application with 10g database and we're using Ms-office 2007 in Windows XP system.
While uploading csv files in Ms- office 2007 format it is good in uploading files to database.
Most of our systems are upgraded to windows 7 and while we use Ms-office 2010 to do the same upload we found error in uploading.
Its ora: ORA DATA NOT FOUND.
So I uninstalled MS-office 2010 and installed Ms-Office 2007 and found some errors to do upload. The errors like some column is missing!!!
Can you give me a way to fix these errors???????????

You might be best to open a support incident about this so you can work directly with an engineer on this. Infoview is using the Java SDK, its possible there is an issue with the .NET SDK that needs to be looked at.

How to save a csv file in a local directory

I am trying to save a regular csv file in a local directory. Any suggestions of how I should approach it. And also I was wondering how I would email that csv file to multiple users

Use a PrintWriter and a FileOutputStream. Look in javax.mail.* for API's to do mailing, or open a socket connection to a pop server and post it.
Posting these kind of questions to "new to java" might be more appropriate...

Uploading a file to server using servlet (Without using Jakarta Commons)

Hi,
I was trying to upload a file to server using servlet, but i need to do that without the help of anyother API packages like Jakarta Commons Upload. If any class for retrieval is necessary, how can i write my own code to upload from client machine?.
From
Velu

<p>Why put such a restriction on the solution? Whats wrong about using that library?
The uploading bit is easy - you put a <input type="file"> component on the form, and set it to be method="post" and enctype="multipart/form-data"
Reading the input stream at the other end - thats harder - which is why they wrote a library for it. </p>
why i gave the restriction is that, i have a question that <code>'can't we implement the same upload'</code>
I was with the view that the same can be implemented by our own code right?

Upload Csv files with infopackages - Error 1

a created a txt file with data separated with ; and later converted txt file into a csv file.
can anybody help me pls?
Thanks
Silvia Marques

Hi Silvia,
If the fields are correct in the transfer structure (only 2 fields). Then check whether the field length and type has been defined correctly for both the fields.
If thats not a problem then try to load only upto PSA.
If you are using IDOC as your transfer method then go to the "details" tab of the monitor of the error request and see the details. It will give you the correct picture of the error.
