reading file into a single variable

Former Member — Wed, 06 May 2009 09:08:10 GMT

Hi,

1. is it possible to get the contents of .txt file(local machine) into a single variable say l_data.

--> the length is greated than 255 (since it is a file )

2. how can i concatenate the data from a internal table ( with only 1 field of type raw)into a single variable say l_xstr.

tried :::: the keyword CONCATENATE is applicateble only to data types C,N,String etc... and not for binary data i.e RAW type of data

THANKS

1) Yes its is possible.

If there are multiple lines, then you can concantenate them using a STRING type variable

data: v_string type string.

call function 'GUI_UPLOAD' to get the data of the file into a itab.

loop at itab.

concatenate itab-data v_string into v_string.

endloop.

Regards,

Ravi
