Outbound file interface in CSV format ( ABAP OO )

Former Member — Thu, 13 May 2010 18:03:42 GMT

Hello folks,

I am new to the OO ABAP and trying to write outbound interface for couple of HCM tables. It is the piece of cake for me if I do it in regular ABAP but I choose the to it hard way because I want to do it in OO ABAP. I have read several post from Narish . They were great.

Letu2019s get the point , how I will go off writing an outbound interface ..

I have looked the class CL_RSAN_UT_APPSERV_FILE_WRITER and its methods

APPSERVER_FILE_WRITE

CONSTRUCTOR

FREE

OPEN

WRITE

But it seems like I canu2019t use my internal table because u201CI_DATA_TABu201D type in method APPSERVER_FILE_WRITE.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

In order to use the method WRITE or APPSERVER_FILE_WRITE, you need to fill the table TYPE RSANM_FILE_TABLE by concatenating your fields of internal table using the separator (e.g. Horizontal tab, pipe sign, comma) which would be understood by the reader of the file.

Like:


data:  li_data_tab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF string.
LOOP at itab into wa_tab.
       CONCATENATE wa_tab-field1
                    wa_tab-field2 
       into lwa_file separated by cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
        APPEND lwa_data_tab TO li_data_tab.
endloop.
