SPLIT command not working while using OPEN DATASET to download a file from application server

Former Member — Thu, 16 Aug 2012 12:55:14 GMT

Hi,

Following is my ABAP code which I have written for downloading a file from application server.But somehow the SPLIT command is not working in my case.It jus gets the first value in the work area i.e lt_datd but the rest of the values in the string don't get updated.

TYPES : BEGIN OF ty_data ,

        terid(2) TYPE c ,

        cardi(8) TYPE c ,

        pernr(8) TYPE c ,

        ldate(8) TYPE c ,

        ltime(6) TYPE c ,

        satza(3) TYPE c ,

       END OF ty_data.

DATA : t_datd TYPE TABLE OF ty_data,

lt_datd TYPE ty_data.

cl = sy-mandt.

v_date = sy-datum - 1.

CONCATENATE v_date+6(2) v_date+4(2) v_date+0(4) INTO v_date.

CONCATENATE '/tmp/' v_date '.log' INTO p_dir.

CONDENSE p_dir.

OPEN DATASET p_dir FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

DO.

    READ DATASET p_dir INTO string.

    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

      SPLIT string AT '#' INTO lt_datd-terid

                               lt_datd-cardi

                               lt_datd-pernr

                               lt_datd-ldate

                               lt_datd-ltime

                               lt_datd-satza.

      APPEND lt_datd TO t_datd.

      CLEAR lt_datd.

    ENDIF.

ENDDO.

CLOSE DATASET p_dir.

Please help.

There is a 99% chance that the separator/delimitor is not "#" but a not-displayable character like cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab or x'05' ('09') for older versions.

Hi,

use the debugger and switch to the hex-view of the string for checking, what kind of character will be hide through the '#'.

Kind regards,

Hendrik
