Code page conversion?

Former Member — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 15:45:24 GMT

Hello Abapers,

I have an issue with the file I write into application server. The operationg system is Unix. Initially, i just open dataset , transfer records and then close the dataset. This was, by default introducing a line feed at the end, but the user of the file wanted the Carriage return as well.

Then i introduced l_Car_ret(2) Type C value cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf, "carriagereturn

and concatenated the line with l_car_ret+0(1), since the first byte is for carriage return. This was okay, but this introduced a # at the end of everyline, which is a nusense right now. Can anyone tell me, how to get rid of this #, keeping the carriage return and the line feed?

Thanks in adance for the answers.

Regards

Shrirama

Too complicated.

IF I remember correctly (I could be wrong) you could also transfer it as binary data,

That way, just concatenate the whole cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf to the end of the line and just pass the lines, but in binary mode.

Try that and see what happens

Hello,

Thanks for the quick reply, but how can i use the binary mode? Am not a great ABAPer, as my main area is SAP BW.

Sorry if it's too late.

Check the syntax for open dataset. You need to add: IN BINARY MODE
