Uploading the fixed length file into intenral table

hi folks,
I have a file in the fixed length format, need to upload that into the intenral table. How to do that? I have done with comma delimited file using 'SPLIT' command how to go about this?
I cannot change the fiel format have to use this..
Thanks in advance for your help.
Vinu

Hi,
Create a structure exactly as the length of the file..
Example
Assuming your file has first 10 characters for customers and next 4 characters for company code..
CUST1234561000
DATA: BEGIN OF FILE_STRUC,
        KUNNR(10),
        BUKRS(4),
      END OF FILE_STRUC.
if you assign the file value to the structure FILE_STRUC..automatically the first ten characters will be stored in the KUNNR field and next characters will be stored in the BUKRS field..
Move the file line to the internal table ITAB of the same structure FILE_STRUC.
THanks,
Naren

Uploading the contents of file into custom table

Hi ,
I have a req where in i want to put the contents of the file into the Z table . I have taken a file upload UI element and in that i have taken 4 attributes as file name f, file type ,file size and file contents and binded this file contents to the data property of the UI element. Now with out explicitly defining the fields i want to put all this content of file into the Z table created for any file created or if i could put the whole text file into that table so that any one could see that file even though its not saved in the desktop for that user.
Can any one help me out?

Yes i am converting it inot the lstring using the same FM which you have given. I have to store the total file but the only doubt is like if its a input field how could i save a file form. Can you please check the code i want to save the total file into the table.

Upload a Fixed Length file in terms of Bytes..

Hi,
Here is my query.
I have a fixed length file that I need to upload into my program from my presentation server.
The file is in a Shift-JIS Format.
The file is a fixed length format. But it is fixed interms of the number of bytes that each column occupies.
Eg. The 1st column takes 8 bytes, the second 15 bytes, so on and so forth. We do not know the no. of characters each column takes... just the numbe of bytes.
This is how I had approached the upload.
I created an internal table with just one field of type XSTRING.
I used GUI_UPLOAD FM with CODEPAGE = `8000`.
But i noticed during debugging that in each record, the moment a SPACE occured in the input file, it would stop reading and go to the next record in the file. Meaning, I loose all the data after the first occurance of SPACE.
Am I missing something here?? Why does the FM truncate after the first SPACE. ??
Do I need to declare the internal table in any other format..??

" will solve your problem

Import data from a Fixed Length File into Oracle database

Hi,
I would like to import data from a Fixed Length text file into a table using HTML DB application.
As of now, i have a .sql file(that uses external table) to import the data into Oracle tables
I would like to integrate this in my HTML DB application so that the user can directly import the data into the table.
Sample data
XXXYYYYZZZZZ
Data should be read to table that has
Col1 Col2 Col3
XXX YYYY ZZZZZ

Hi,
I would like to import data from a Fixed Length text
file into a table using HTML DB application.AFAIK, fixed length imports are not something you can do directly with the HTML DB tools or available APIs.
As of now, i have a .sql file(that uses external
table) to import the data into Oracle tables
I would like to integrate this in my HTML DB
application so that the user can directly import the
data into the table.Any fixed-length data needs to have a specification associated with it that indicates which character position begins a new column and what each column represents. Some also include what datatype should be used for each of those.
If you really want to do this I would suggest that you create a table that you can store the file spec in. It would probably have columns for field name, start position, length or end position, datatype and any alias/column name you might want to apply. You would then use this table in a PL/SQL procedure (probably a package with the main processing procedure and various supporting procedures/functions) to read the file into memory, apply the file spec to each line and then do inserts into your table.
Obviously, this is just a concept or strategy. Implementing it will depend on your PL/SQL skills and determination. If you want to pursue this strategy I'm sure you can find some jump-starts by doing a search on the PL/SQL forum.
This may not sound like an answer - but the answer is you need to code it to fit your requirements. Hope that helps.

There, I provided a couple of links on this particular issue. You need to change the timeout on your application server.

Fixed Length File attachment to Mail Receiver

Hi,
I have an interface requirement IDOC - PI - Fixed Length File attached to email.
Is it possible to do this? I need to pass the IDOC through a mapping and content conversion to build the fixed length file, I then need to attach this file to an email and send it to a user.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Gareth

Hi,
I actually need to convert the IDOC to a different file format before sending it on. Eg.
<IDOC>
     <Segment 1...n>
           <username>User</username>
           <address>Address 1</Address>
     </Segment>
     <Segment>
           <username>User2</username>
           <address>Address 2</Address>
     </Segment>
<IDOC>
Converted to flat file with structure:
User......Address 1.....
User2....Address 2.....
The file needs to have fields of Fixed Length (thats what the .... after each field is to represent)
So I think the Data Type I am using for the file needs to go through Content Conversion to do this change, and then the file attached to an email.
I hope this makes sense.

Error while uploading an edited excel file into an internal table

Hi Experts,
I am getting error while uploading an excel file that has been edited.
I am using GUI_UPLOAD for uploading the file into internal table.

PLease suggest.

In the FM Line_header = 'X' means it will negelect the first line. So u can give the heading in the excel file.
Hope this might help u .

External tables-Fixed length file

Hi All,
I have a fixed length file that i load daily using an External table. Recently, one of the field, IP length was changed and customer wants to send both old records with 8 byte length and new records with 11 byte length in the same data file, until complete migration takes place.
Will it be possible for External tables to handle this requirement?. Or Is there any other possibility to treat it.
The old file contains 104 fields with IP field position form 490 to 498. Total
The new file contains 104 fields with the IP position from 490 to 501.
Thanks,
Sri.

If the two record types are mixed in the same file, then you will have problems loading them. I can see two possible solutions, in no particular order of preference (using your example data):
1. Redefine the external table something like:
Position (record_type (1:1)
version (2:5)
data (6:41))then parse the remaining fields based on the version number when you select from the external table.
2. Create two external tables over the same file, one for version 1.00 and one for version 1.01 using the LOAD WHEN clause to determine which set of data to load when you select. Something like:
CREATE TABLE version1 ...
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL ...
ACCESS PARAMETERS
(RECORDS DELIMITED BY newline
LOAD WHEN (version = 1.00)
< definition for the old format >
and
CREATE TABLE version101 ...
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL ...
ACCESS PARAMETERS
(RECORDS DELIMITED BY newline
LOAD WHEN (version = 1.01)
< definition for the new format >Then yor processing would use something like:
SELECT ip, last_name
FROM version1
UNION ALL
SELECT ip, last_name
FROM version101HTH

TEXT_IO is a PL/SQL package available only in Forms (you'll want to post in the Forms forum for more information). It is not available in a stored procedure in the database (where the equivalent package is UTL_FILE).
If the Terminal Server machine and the database machine do not have access to the file system on the client machine, no application running on either machine will have access to the file. Barring exceptional setups (like the FTP server on the client machine), your applications are not going to have more access to the client machine than the operating system does.
If you map the client drives from the Terminal Server box, there is the potential for your Forms application to access those files. If you want the files to be accessible to a stored procedure in the database, you'll need to move the files somewhere the database can access them.

Upload .txt file into Database Table

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could please point me in the right direction. I've been looking around the forum but can't find anything to help me achieve the following.
I would like to be able to upload a .txt file using a webpage. Then store the information inside this file into database tables.
eg. contents of mytextfile.txt:
richard
10 anywhere street, anytown, somewhere
111 222 333 444
joe
9 somestreet, elsewhere
999 888 777 666
peter
214 nearby lane, overhere
555 555 555 555
I would like to insert this data into a table.
eg. table name = CONTACTS
userid = primary key (using sequence)
username = (line 1 - richard, joe, peter)
address = (line 2)
phone_no = (line 3)
As you can see the records will appear 1 at a time and will have a blank line between records. Is there anyway for me to upload a file like this and have it placed into tables?
I have seen http://otn.oracle.com/products/database/htmldb/howtos/howto_file_upload.html but this seems to be for uploading a whole file and downloading the same file, rather than extracting data from the file.
I hope I have managed to explain my problem.
Many thanks,
Richard.

Richard,
HTML DB allows you to upload CSV files via the Data Workshop. That data would then be parsed and inserted into a specific table. Alternatively, if you have your data in an Excel spreadsheet, and it is less than 32k, you can copy & paste the data directly into HTML DB's Data Workshop, which will then parse and import it into the Oracle database.
The one obstacle you may have to overcome is converting your data from the format you outlined to CSV format. Specifically, you would have to make this:
richard
10 anywhere street, anytown, somewhere
111 222 333 444
Look something like this:
"richard","10 anywhere street, anytown, somewhere","111 222 333 444"
Hope this helps,
