Writing to a flat file using UTL in a procedure

Hello All,
I am creating a procedure in which I am trying to write data to a flat file using UTL. Code is shown below:

/It fails as soon as it encounters the V_FLAG in the V_flat_file_line. The data in the table has nulls for the FLAG, and some -ve numbers for the ELC_COST,ADJ_ELC..but that should'nt cause any problems does it?
Whats wrong with those 3 columns?

EFT Payment Program. Writing to a flat file using UTL Package

Hi guys
I wonder if someone can help me. I'm battling with something in pl/sql. I have a procedure that writes to a flat file. Each procedure I call writes a single section of the file, e.g "create_hdr_rec_line_fn" writes the header on top of the file and "create_std_trx_rec_line_fn" writes the body below the header. Then lastly the procedure that writes the trailer at the bottom of the file.
My problem comes here: I have a proc that calculates the hash total.
This is done by " utl_file.put_line(g_file_id, g_seed_number)". I want to write the hash total next to the trailer section of the file and not below it. How can I do this? Here's the example of the flat file produced. The very last line is the hash total, but I my hash total to be on the same line as the (Trailer). I want it to be just next to the trailer. I hope my question is clear. Please see my procedure below the flat file.
Thanking you in advance....

Hi cdkumar
I'm not quite sure if I understand what you mean. Are you saying that I should use the "PUT" to write 'create_std_trailer_fn' and and then use the "PUT_LINE" to write 'g_seed_number'? Could you please show me what you mean by changing the proc I posted on my question with your suggestions.How about, rather than use code it for you, you try changing the code and giving it a go yourself.
Essentially PUT_LINE will write out the data and put a "new line" character on the end so the next output will appear on the following line; PUT will just output the data without terminating the line, so any subsequent output will just append to the end.
It's very simple. Give it a go.

Delete data from a flat file using PL/SQL -- Please help.. urgent

Hi All,
We are writing data to a flat file using Text_IO.Put_Line command. We want to delete data / record from that file after data is written onto it.
Please let us know if this is possible.
Thanks in advance.
Vaishali

There's nothing in UTL_FILE to do this, so your options are either to write a Java stored procedure to do it or to use whatever mechanism the host operating system supports for editing files.
Alternatively, you could write a PL/SQL procedure to read each line in from the file and then write them out to a second file, discarding the line you don't want along the way.

How to Create a Flat File using FTP/File Adapter

Can any body done workaround on creating the Flat file using FTP/File Adapter?.
I need to create a simple FlatFile either using of delimiter/Fixed length. using the above said adapters we can create XML file, i tried concatinating all the values into a single String and writing into a file, but it does not have proper structure
Can any body help me out on this..
Thanks
Ram

You can create a text schema while creating a File Adapter. If schema is specified for File Adapter, it takes care of converting XML into fixed length or delimited format.

Idoc to flat file using Integration process does not show up at all

Hello All,
I created a scenario IDOC to Flat File using Integration Process and one without IntegrationProcess. I am able to execute the one without Integration Process easily.
However when I send the IDOC from SAP then the Integration Process scenario just does not work.
I Checked SXMB_MONI There is no entry for the Integration Process.I can see entry for other without Integration Process.
SXI_CACHE : I can see my Integration Process active
SWEQADM : I have activated the Event Queue and Background job
SWF_XI_ADM_BPE : ALL BPE is showing green status.
All syntax check on IP are fine.
There is no Basis Help for me so there could be some additional basis steps which need to be configured. Has anyone faced such an issue with Integration Process?
Regards
Prashanta

Hope this might help you. when u configure an IDoc as Sender with BPM this is how you proceed.
1. let us split the scenario into two.
a. Sender to BPM ( Integration Process).
b. BPM to Receiver.
2. First let us configure the first Sender to BPM.
a. Sender Agreement( Not required ).
b. Receiver Agreement( NOT Required).
c. Receiver Determination( Sender Service, Outbound Interface, Receiver Service(Integration Process).
d. Interface Determination( Inbound Interface(Sender Abstract Interface), Message Mapping(NOT Required if your using transformation stepin Integration Process)).
3. Now let us configure the Second BPM to Receiver.
a. Sender Agreement( NOT Required)
b. Receiver Agreement( Sender Service(Integration process), Receiver Abstarct Interface,Receiver service, Inbound Interface).
c. Receiver Determination( Sender Service(Integration Process), Receiver Abstarct Interface,Receiver Service).
d. Interface Determination( Inbound Interface, Message Mapping(NOT Required)).
So Finally we have One Receiver Agreement, Two Receiver Determinations, Two Interface Determinations.
Please let me know if you have any more queries.
Regards
Gopi

Problem while writing data on xls file using jxl API

Hi,
I am getting problem while writing data on excel file using jxl api.
When i write data on file and all handles associated to the file are closed, file size increases but when i open the file nothing is written in it and when file is closed manually from excel window, file size decreased to its original that was before writing data.
here is code:
          FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(this.dirPath + this.fileName, true);
          WritableWorkbook this.workbook = Workbook.createWorkbook(os);
after writing data following handler are closed:
this.os.flush();
                    this.workbook.write();
                    this.workbook.close();
                    this.os.close();
                    this.os = null;
can any body help me.
Thanks in advance

Err, I did help you. I did understand your problem; and I solved it for you. What was missing was that you apparently made no effort to understand what you were being told. Or even consider it. You just argued about it, as though you were the one with the solution, instead of the one whose code didn't work.
And the other thing that was missing was the part where you said 'thank you' to me for solving your problem. Somewhat more appropriate than biting the hand that fed you, frankly. I do this for nothing, on my own gas, and it's extremely irritating when people keep asking about problems I have already solved for them. I am entitled to discourage that. It's part of making them more efficient actually.
But it happens often enough that it also makes me think I'm just wasting my time. Probably I am.

DB2 Version 8 to Flat Files using ODI

Hi,
We are trying to load data from DB2 V8 to flat files using ODI.
Can anybody help me in this to configure server in Topology.
Thanks
Ashwini

Hi,
How are you? Let me try contribute a little...
A)
1) The OS isn't a problem, once you link it at topology will be OK.
2) If you have a fix name just create a datastore to it, if not, there are techniques to got dynamic file names
3) When you say "*.dat, *.cvs" maybe you refer to the internal format of file (record separator, decimal point, etc) all of this is configurable on datastore that represents the file at ODI.
B) Yes, the only requisite is to have the write and read rights.
C) The most simple way is create a refresh variable that get the data in any format you wish..
Does it make any sense to you?

Error writing data in a flat file using UTL_FILE feature

Hi All,
I have written a package which fetches data from four different cursors and inserts into a temporary table.
Now this temporary table is used to write data in a file using the UTL_FILE feature.
fhandler :=
UTL_FILE.fopen (l_path,'Demand_Transactions_'
|| TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'YYYYMMDDHH24MI')
|| '.txt',
'w',
max_linesize => 32767
This table has 62593 records and when it starts writing data into the file from the table it errors out after writing 30045 records with the error - ORA-01722: invalid number.
Can anyome please advise me is it because of the max_linesize => 32767. If not then what can be the possible reason.
Any help in this would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Shruti

The error would indicate that you have a character to number conversion going on somewhere but the characters are not numeric so it's failing that conversion.
This doesn't sound like a UTL_FILE issue, but more to do with how you are building up your strings to output to the file.
You would need to show us your code that builds up the lines you are writing out, with details of the datatypes of any of the columns/variables included in that.

Filename for flat file using J2EE FILE FTP Receiver adapter

Hi there,
I am struggling to do the following:
I have a J2EE File receiver that sends a file with a specific name to a FTP destination. I define the target filename in my graphical mapping using certain criteria and a incremental number. In my adapter I use variable substitution to select that value in the payload as the filename. Up to this point everything works fine.
The problem is that I convert the payload to a flat structure using xslt before writing it out and because of that the adapter cannot find my value as defined in the variable I use for the name.
Now, obviously if I move the xslt module after the CallAdapter module, the file won't be converted to a flat structure.
Can anyone give me advice on how I can do the flat conversion and the specific filename from the payload?
Thanks in advance,
Johan

Hi,
Instead of using variable substitution, use adapter specific identifiers to set the file name in mapping.

Build daily Big flat file using SAP R/3 material master data

Hi all,
I must build an interface between SAP R/3 4.7 and an external application
Daily a flat file must be generated contaning Material data in full exchange mode
(volume 100 000 materials, <10 fields => ~ File of 30Mo)
No complex mapping, only format mapping (Ex : Price quantity...)
I don't know yet if I will use Idocs or BAPI to extract data. However, I'm sure I must use multiple inbound messages because of volume
After reading documentation, I consider the both following solutions to manage it :
1) A simple asynchronous interface with a file adapter in construction mode APPEND to build flat file progressively with arrival of SAP messages
=>
viable solution ?
Is there problem of concurrent access to file in such a solution ?
(idocs or bapi data will be processed ones following the others )
2) BPM Collecting and Bundling Messages - One Interface
(Unlimited Loop with Deadline trigger correspondint to time I must build flat file)
=>
Each SAP message is a small message but the outbound XML will represent a 30 Mo flat file => Is it a problem ??
Which solution do you advise ?
Is there another ?
Last question : (more general one)
In such scenario, I can't see XI-value added comparing a creation of flat file directly with R/3.
I will generate a big number of idocs, use a big part of XI memory ...
Can you give me your opinion about it ?
Thanks a lot
Best regards
Jean-Charles

Hi Jean-Charles,
>>>volume 100 000 materials, <10 fields => ~ File of 30Mo
You have a performance task...
>>>Is there problem of concurrent access to file in such a solution ?
No, the adapter framework has its own queueing, the message would be stored and executed later. If sequence is important, you can use EOIO as well.
>>>BPM Collecting and Bundling Messages - One Interface
BPM is not required in your case, you should avoid becoz of performance task. You can append at file adapter, no problem. Bundling and splitting is even possible at Integration Server without BPM.
>>>Each SAP message is a small message but the outbound XML will represent a 30 Mo flat file => Is it a problem ??
Avoid using BAD words
>>>Each SAP message is a small message but the outbound XML will represent a 30 Mo flat file => Is it a problem ??

Urgent: Problem to load Flat file using DTP.

Hi Experts,
I try to load a flat file PSA->DSO->INFOCUBE using DTP.
I my flatfile in the application server in csv format.
in the My data source I opted Adapter as Load Text -Type file from Application Server.
Data Format : I test with both the potions : Fixed length & Separated with Separator( For example CSV) .
If I check the preview: I cant find any data and get the message: Inbound processing of data package 000001 finished
when I try to Load the data thorough PC the load was successfull but only 0 records are transfered and added to PSA:; DSO and Info Cube.
The test file contains around 20 records.
Any suggestions please.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Sailekha..
in the My data source I opted Adapter as Load Text -Type file from Application Server.
Data Format : I test with both the potions : Fixed length & Separated with Separator( For example CSV) .
Note: As per ur info:
In the Flat file Data source :
1. You have to maintain the Adapter as:
Load Text -Type file from Application Server
Data Format : Separated with Separator
Then Use the "Proposal" Tab to generate the field proposals.
(Only in BI 7.0 this option is available).
After that check the Preview in "Preview" Tab.
Hope it works...
Cheers,...

Reading data from flat file Using TEXT_IO

Dear Gurus
I already posted this question but this time i need some other changes .....Sorry for that ..
I am using 10G forms and using TEXT_IO for reading data from flat file ..
My data is like this :-
0|BP-V1|20100928|01|1|2430962.89|27|2430962.89|MUR|20100928120106

1|35572.46|000033093377|
1|246671.01|000042148111|
Here each column is separated by | . I want to read all the columns and want to do some validation .
How can i do ?
Initially my requirement was to read only 2 or 3 columns so i did like this ...

But now how can i do ? Shall i use like this select Statement for all the columns ?

Sorry for that ..

I have to check the file :-
Validation are 1st line should start from 0 else it should raise an error and insert that error into one table .
The for 2nd line also same thing ..it should start from 9 else it should raise an error and insert that error into one table .
Then the 3rd line should start from 1 else it should raise an error and insert that error into one table .
After that i have to do a validation like i will read the 1st line 2nd column .. It should be like this BP-V1 else raise an error and insert that error to a table . Then i will check the 3rd column which is 20100928 , it should be YYYYMMDD format else same thing ERROR.
Then like this for all columns i have different validation .......
Then it will check for the 2nd line 3rd column . this is an account no .1st i will check it should be 12 char else ERROR .Then I will check that what user has imputed in the form.Like for example User putted 111111111 then i will check with this 000111111111 which is there in the 2nd line . I have to add 000 before that Account no which user imputed .
Then the lines which is starting from 1 , i have to take all the 2nd column for all the lines which is starting from 1 and i have to do a sum . After that i have to compare that sum with the value in the 1st lines ( Starting from 0) 6th column . It should be same else ERROR ...
Then same way i have to count all the lines which is starting from 1 . Then i have to compare with the 7th column of 1st line . It should be same . Here in this file it should be 9.
