Upload text delimited file

could someone please provide a sample code of how to upload a text "|" delimited file into SAP internal structure? i used GUI_upload with field_separator but didn't work. many thanks.

HI Voo,
i think this is the FM you are looking for..
see the sample functionality ..
DATA: BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,
 vbeln LIKE vbak-vbeln,
 ernam LIKE vbak-ernam,
 END OF itab.
DATA itab2 LIKE TABLE OF KCDE_CELLS WITH HEADER LINE.
CALL FUNCTION 'KCD_CSV_FILE_TO_INTERN_CONVERT'
EXPORTING
 i_filename = 'D:dataupl.txt'
 i_separator = '|'
tables
 e_intern = itab2
* EXCEPTIONS
* UPLOAD_CSV = 1
* UPLOAD_FILETYPE = 2
* OTHERS = 3
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
* WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
LOOP AT itab2.
SPLIT itab2-value AT '|' INTO itab-vbeln itab-ernam.
APPEND itab.
CLEAR itab.
ENDLOOP.
And the file: upl.txt
12345|text
12346|text2
12347|text3

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.

UPLOADING tab delimited file onto FTP server

Detecting line-breaks within a column of an uploaded tab-delimited file.

Suppose you upload a tab-delimited file from your laptop and split each row of the file into some structure that you append to an itab.
Is there a way inside ABAP to detect that a field of the uploaded file has a CR or CRLF in it? And if so, where it is ?
Thanks in advance ...

You can use any of the following for those char.
DATA:   head_crnl(1)   TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf,
          top_crnl(1)    TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf,
          end_crnl(1)    TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf,
          blank_crnl(1) TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf,
          final_crnl(1) TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf,
          first_pgbr(1) TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>form_feed.
Declare the above variables and check if they occur in the file. Hope this helps.

How to read a text delimited file using 2 dimentional array in java ??

hi,
I am new to java programming.. I have to do a task where in i have to read a text delimeted file in an array.. For example.. If the file is as follows
Name place Value
adi goa 20
shri mumbai 30
riya bangalr 45
I want it to be read in java so as to get an array[row][columns]
This is something i am currently upto, but cant get any further.
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileReader;
public class generateGML{
public static void main(String[] argv)
throws Exception{
BufferedReader fh = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("filename.txt"));
String s;
while ((s=fh.readLine())!=null){
String[] columns = s.split("\t");
String name = columns[0];
String place = columns[1];
String value = columns[2];
It reads columns,But I want it two dimentionally,as in something like matrix[row_num][column_num].
Can anyone please suggest me..

You could do the following:
String[][] array = new String[rows][];
int row_num = 0;
while ((s=fh.readLine())!=null) {
array[row_num++] = s.split("\t");
}However, you need to know ahead of time how many rows to allocate. If you allocate more than needed, you'll need to copy to a new array, or you'll need to keep track of how much is actually populated. If you allocate less than needed, you'll get an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
Another (likely better) approach is:
Do you really need it as a 2-dimensional array? Can you make a List of objects that have a name, place, and value? Then you don't need to know how big of a list to allocate ahead of time, assuming you use a list that grows itself (like ArrayList or LinkedList). Your code would be much easier to read if you could say:
String name = list.get(10).getName();instead of
String name = array[10][0];

Upload tab delimited file

ho do i upload a file that is tab delimited, if the file is comma separated we items "split at ',' . how do i split tab separated items

HI Willard
As you know, handling of files w.r.t presentation server and application server differs.
Presentation Server: We can use FM: GUI_UPLOAD for the same.
Application Server:
1. Declare a variable of long text.
Eg: data: l_data(1024) type c.
2. Declate a variable which identifies tab character;
data: l_tab(1) type c value cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
3. While reading the dataset, read into l_data.
4. Split l_data at l_tab into work area fields.
Eg:
data: l_text(1024) type c,
 l_tab(1) type c value cl_abap_char_utilites=>horizontal_tab.
open dataset fname for input in text mode encoding default.
if sy-subrc ne 0.
 write:/ 'Error Opening File'.
else.
 do.
 read dataset fname into l_text.
 if sy-subrc ne 0.
 exit.
 else.
 split l_text at l_tab into wa-fld1 wa-fld2 ....
 append wa to itab.
 endif.
 enddo.
 close dataset fname.
endif.
Hope the above info gives you some idea.
Kind Regards

Uploading a delimited file via sqlldr

I am using Oracle 10g on Unix. I have been receiving a file, previously fixed length, and uploading it into a table using sqlldr. This time the file is comma-delimited and the text data is enclosed with double quotes. I feel like a total idiot (and probably sound like one) but I have no idea how to make this work. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Parse tab delimited file after upload

I could use some advice. I have a requirement to parse and insert an uploaded, tab delimited file using APEX. Directly off of the file system, I would do this with an external table, but here I am uploading the file into a CLOB field. Does PL/SQL have any native functions to parse delimited files?
The user will not have access to the data load part of APEX, although I have seen numerous requests on this forum for that functionality to be added to the user GUI. Thoughts?

j,
I wrote this a while ago...
http://www.danielmcghan.us/2009/02/easy-csv-uploads-yes-we-can.html
I've since improved the code a little bit. If you like the solution, I could do a new post with the latest code.

Upload text file to oracle table with checking and aggregation

Hi Friends,
I am new to ODI. I have encountered a problem which is specific to ODI 11G (11.1.1.6.3) to upload text file to oracle table with checking and aggregation. Would you please teach me how to implement the following requirement in ODI 11G?
Input text file a:
staffCode, staffCat, status, data
input text file b:
staffCodeStart, staffCodeEnd, staffCat
temp output oracle table c:
staffCat, data
output oracle table d:
staffCat, data
order:
a.staffCode, a.staffCat, a.status
filter:
a.status = ‘active’
join:
a left outerjoin b on a.staffCode between b.staffCodeStart and b.staffCodeEnd
insert temp table c:
c.staffCat = if b.staffCat is not null then b.staffCat else a.staffCat
c.data = a.data
insert table d:
if c.staffCat between 99 and 1000 then d.staffCat = c.staffCat, d.data = sum(c.data)
else d.staffCat = c.staffCat, d.data = LAST(c.data)
Any help on fixing this is highly appreciated. Thanks!!
Thanks,
Chris

Dear Santy,
Many thanks for your prompt reply. May I have more information about the LAST or SUM step?
I was successful to create and run the following interfaces p and q
1. Drag text file a to a newly created interface panel p
2. Filter text file a : a.status = ‘active’
3. Lookup text file a to text file b : a.staffCode between b.staffCodeStart and b.staffCodeEnd
4. Drag oracle temp table c to interface panel p
5. Set c.staffCat : CASE WHEN b.staffCat IS NULL THEN a.staffCat ELSE b.staffCat END
6. Set c.data : a.data
7. Drag oracle temp table c to a newly created interface panel q
8. Drag oracle table d to interface panel q
9. Set UK to d.staffCat
10. Set Distinct Rows to table d
11. Set d.staffCat = c.staffCat
12. Set d.data = SUM(c.data)
However, the interface q should be more than that:
If c.staffCat is between 99 and 1000, then d.data = the last record c.data; else d.data = sum(c.data)
Would you please teach me how to do the LAST or SUM steps? Moreover, can interface p and interface q be combined to one interface and do not use the temp table c? Millions thanks!

Chris

Upload text files with non-english characters

I use an Apex page to upload text files. Then i retrieve the contents of files from wwv_flow_files.blob_content and convert them to varchar2 with utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2, but characters like ò, à, ù become garbage.
What could be the problem? Are characters lost when files are stored in wwv_flow_files or when i do the conversion?
Some other info:
* I see wwv_flow_files.DAD_CHARSET is set to "ascii", wwv_flow_files.FILE_CHARSET is null.
* Trying utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2( utl_raw.cast_to_raw('àòèù') ) returns 'àòèù' correctly;
* NLS_CHARACTERSET parameter is AL32UTF8 (not just english ASCII)

Hi
Have a look at csv upload -- suggestion needed with non-English character in csv file it might help you.
Thanks,
Manish
