problem with unicode file

Former Member — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 13:07:49 GMT

Hi,

when I open a file (input mode) I can only read part of the file because the file is created without End of Line ('#'). I tried to read

into a string but it return sy-subrc = 4. It's impossible to read all the file and then get the information.

I read about this and I tried with cr_lf = cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf but it doesn't work.

Anybody has a suggestion , please?

Thanks in advance.

DATA: REG(255) TYPE C.

OPEN DATASET FILE_IN FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE.

IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.

DO. "Only 1 time because the file has one register.

READ DATASET FILE_INTO REG. "Here is the problem I only read 150 chars.

[..]

ENDO.

[..]

ENDIF.

Are you sure the DO exits after one iteration? I dont see a exit statement there. Anyways try using encoding default with text mode or the file might have also been created in binary mode.

The solution:

It's impossible work with a wrong file so you have to modify the report which makes the file.
