flat file(Binary file) upload using GUI_UPLOAD

Former Member — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 11:17:05 GMT

I had uploaded a Binary file Using GUI_UPLOAD , File type was 'BIN'.

but the data i got in Internal Table was in 0's and 1's.

whereas i tried the same thing on a different server but the same Version it gave me the data as text in Internal Table.

what could be reason..or wat could be done to resolve this.

Hi,

May be there is something like File Converter (BIN to TXT) on that server where you got Texts uploaded.

Did you declare the internal table used to upload the binary file as TYPE X ?

begin of itab, 
  raw(255) type x, 
end of itab occurs 0. 
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD' 
   exporting 
      filetype =  'BIN' 
      filename = 'C:DOWNLOAD.BIN' 
   tables 
      data_tab = itab.

Internal table type was type 'Table'

file type as 'BIN'

A binary representation of the internal table is read from the file.

No conversion or interpretation is carried out. Usually, this produces

meaningful results only if the internal table consists of a<b> single

column of type 'X'.</b>
