GUI_UPLOAD Function Module in 4.6C does not split into lines

Former Member — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 01:28:51 GMT

Dear All,

I'm about to upload text file into SAP using the FM 'GUI_UPLOAD'.

Previously I've developed a test program to upload the same file in SAP v4.7

and it returns correctly into several lines as expected.

Snippet:

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'

EXPORTING

filename = l_filename

filetype = 'ASC'

has_field_separator = ' '

header_length = 0

read_by_line = 'X'

TABLES

data_tab = gt_tabfile

As we can see, the 'read_by_line' parameter is already 'X'. gt_tabfile only consist of 1 string column.

But as I run the same code using the same parameter and file in SAP v4.6C

it returned only 1 line of very long string instead of the correct lines resulted in 4.7.

Is there anything to do with codepage (4.6 is English 1100, I forgot the codepage in 4.7 but i believe it's the same due to language selection is EN). Or anything to do with OSS Note?

Kindly help me to resolve the issue.

Appreciate it very much

Thank you for trying to help.

Please be noted I've done all the possible value on these parameter

- filetype 'ASC' OR 'BIN'

- has_field_separator ' ' or 'X'

- header_length 0 or 1 which is dont make sense since my file dont have header so must be 0

- read_by_line ' ' of 'X' doesnt work my expectation.

Any other good questions please? How 4.6C and 4.7 above make a different result?
