Excel upload - remove line break

Former Member — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 15:40:36 GMT

Hi experts,

I want to read an excel sheet using function module GUI_UPLOAD. Everything is working well, except for cells with line break. How can I remove line break in my code? The excel has CSV format.

My code looks as follows:

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'

EXPORTING

filename = file_str

TABLES

data_tab = itab

EXCEPTIONS

file_open_error = 1

file_read_error = 2

no_batch = 3

gui_refuse_filetransfer = 4

invalid_type = 5

no_authority = 6

unknown_error = 7

bad_data_format = 8

header_not_allowed = 9

separator_not_allowed = 10

header_too_long = 11

unknown_dp_error = 12

access_denied = 13

dp_out_of_memory = 14

disk_full = 15

dp_timeout = 16

OTHERS = 17.

LOOP AT itab.

CLEAR idat.

SPLIT itab-rec AT ',' INTO idat-fld1

idat-fld2

idat-fld3.

APPEND idat.

ENDLOOP.

LOOP AT idat.

WRITE:/ idat-fld1, idat-fld2, idat-fld3.

ENDLOOP.

As you can see I use the seperator ';'. The problem is that cells with line break dislocate my data, although I use ';' as seperator the cells get seperated when there is a line break too (and they get seperated by ';'.If there is no line break, everything working well).

What do I have to do to declare line breake as line breake, if I want to use the function 'REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF ' ' IN itab-rec WITH ' '? I would replace the line breake with an blank or something like that.

Please don´t offer a complete new solution, because this one is working very fine and I´m just searching for a solution to solve problem with line break.

Thanks a lot.

Regards

Anna

LOOP AT itab into wa_itab.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF in wa_itab-<field> with space.
CLEAR idat.
SPLIT itab-rec AT ',' INTO idat-fld1
idat-fld2
idat-fld3.
APPEND idat.

ENDLOOP.

Hi,

thank you for quick reply.

What is wa_itab-CR_LF IN itab-rec with space.

CLEAR idat.

SPLIT itab-rec AT ',' INTO...

ENDLOOP.

I wrote this code and it doesn´t work. The program still sets the line break.

Thank you very much.

Anna
