Hi,
Yes you can do this one .. you can have a look at the standard program 'RSEPSFTP'.

Generating tab delimited file on presentation server

Hi All,
I have to generate a tab delimited file on presentation server. The file shouldn't have '#' as separator. Instead it should be separated by TAB (when you press TAB button, some spaces will come naa... like that) ' '. Please advice me how to do this...

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.

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.

And this is split by tab delimited and moved to other variables as shown above.
Please guide me how to read the contents without "#' from the file.
I have tried all possible ways and unable to get solution.
Thanks,
Shrikanth

Hi ,
In ECC 6 if all the unicode patches are applied then UTF 16 will defintly work..
More over i would suggest you to ist replace # with some other * or , and then try to see in debugging if any further # appears..
and no # appears then try to split now.
if even now the # appears after replace statement then try to find out what exactly is it... wheather it is a horizantal tab etc....
and then again try to replace it and then split..
Please follow the process untill all the # are replaced...
This should work for you..
Let me know if you further face any issue...

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.

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

Hi,
first see the file contents in application server, how the contents whether the contents seperated by any symbol or not, if the contents seperated by any symbol then you have to split the data before appending to internal table.
check this code.
DATA: l_data_string TYPE string.
filename = p_file.
OPEN DATASET p_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    DO.
      READ DATASET filename INTO l_data_string.
      IF sy-subrc NE 0.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
      CLEAR k_input.
      SPLIT l_data_string AT '#' INTO k_input-agreement k_input-suffix k_input-status
            k_input-first_name k_input-last_name k_input-job_title k_input-tel k_input-fax k_input-email_address k_input-mob_number.
      APPEND k_input TO i_input.
    ENDDO.
ENDIF.

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...

I've since improved the code a little bit. If you like the solution, I could do a new post with the latest code.

Handling Tab Delimited File generation in non-unicode for multi byte lang

Hi,
Requirement:
We are generating a Tab Delimited File in different languages (Single Byte and Multi Byte) and placing the files at application server.
Problem:
Our system is a Non-unicode system so we are facing problems with generation of Tab delimited file for multibyte languages like Russian, Japanese, Chinese etc.,
I am actually using data: d_tab TYPE X value '09' but it dont work for multi byte. I cant see tab delimited file at application server path.
Any thoughts about how to proceed on this issue?Please let me know.
Thanks & Regards,
Pavan

On a non-unicode system the X Variant is working, but not on a unicode system. Here you must use the class. On the other hand you can use the class on a non-unicode system und your char var will always be correct (one byte/twobyte depending on which system your report is running).
What you are planning to do is to put a file with an amount of possible characters into a system with has a less amount of characters. Thats not working in no way.
What you can do is to build up a multi-code-page system where the codepage is bound to the user or bound to the logon-language. Here you you can read and process textfiles in several codepages - but not a textfile in unicode. You have to convert the unioce textfile into a non-unicode textfile before processing it.
Remember that SAP does not support multi-code-page Systems anymore and multi-code-page systems will result in much more work when converting the system to unicode.
Even non-unicode system will not be maintained by SAP in the near future.
What you encounter here are problems for what unicode was developped. A unicode system can handle non-unicode textfiles, but the other way round will always lead to problems which cant be solved.

Read the file into internal table and see in the debugging mode if it is present or not.
