Hi Rohit,

Give some more details like

1. what type of file, text, excel or binary etc.

2. Also if the file needs a separator which character you are supposed to use. (eg excel files use tab as separator).

Regards

Barada

hi,

In FM GUI_UPLOAD you have the parameter HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR for separator.

You can use GUI_UPLOAD, in that keep the Field Seperator commented:

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
        EXPORTING
          FILENAME                      = V_FNAME
         FILETYPE                      = 'ASC'
*       HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR           = 'X'
*     HEADER_LENGTH                 = 0
         READ_BY_LINE                  = 'X'
*     DAT_MODE                      = ' '
*    IMPORTING
*     FILELENGTH                    =
*     HEADER                        =
        TABLES
          DATA_TAB                      = I_DATA_RED
*   EXCEPTIONS
*     FILE_OPEN_ERROR               = 1
*     FILE_READ_ERROR               = 2
*     NO_BATCH                      = 3
*     GUI_REFUSE_FILETRANSFER       = 4
*     INVALID_TYPE                  = 5
*     NO_AUTHORITY                  = 6
*     UNKNOWN_ERROR                 = 
*     BAD_

SPLIT I_DATA_RED-LINE AT P_FSEPA INTO "here in P_fsepa give the symbol u have in flat file.
                                I_VEND-LIFNR
                                I_VEND-BUKRS
                                I_VEND-EKORG
                                I_VEND-KTOKK
                                I_VEND-ANRED
                                I_VEND-NAME1
                                I_VEND-LAND1
                                I_VEND-AKONT
                                I_VEND-WAERS.

Vishwa.
