GUI_UPLOAD

Former Member — Tue, 01 Mar 2005 19:18:39 GMT

Hi,

I trying my options of uploading a notepad file & an excel file thru GUI_UPLOAD FM ... the notepad file is getting uploaded but for ecel file it it's giving sy-subrc = 13 .... i.e Access Denied... both the notepad & excel sheet are on my desktop... The importing parameters are :-

FILETYPE = 'ASC'

HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'

for excel sheet I tried commenting & uncommenting the Field_seperator parameter... still it throws the same exception ... sy-subrc = 13.

Can anybody tell me what's wrong here ??...

Thank You & Regards,

-S.

Try opening the spreadsheet in Excel and see if Windows has it locked. I have had this problem before. If you can open it, save it, then close it. Then try your ABAP again.

Let us know how it goes.

Hi,

It's not raising an exception now but in the debug mode when i see the data inside the uploaded internal table I get only one record line & that too a junk data...

& then a dump is thrown saying ..

Unable to interpret "##" as a number.

Thank You & Regards,

Have you tried Func Mod "ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE"?

This may work for you.

Hi Seema,

You have to use some extra coding if you want to upload the Excel file using GUI_UPLOAD. If the function module Rich suggested doesn't work for you, here is a sample code that uploads a excel file using GUI_UPLOAD, but uses another function module to convert that uploaded data into an internal table.

TYPE-POOLS: truxs.

DATA: i_text_data       TYPE truxs_t_text_data,
      v_filename_string TYPE string.

DATA: BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,
        Name(30),
        Phone(15),
        Fax(500).
DATA: END OF itab.

PARAMETERS: p_file LIKE rlgrap-filename.

START-OF-SELECTION.

  v_filename_string = p_file.

  CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      filename                      = v_filename_string
      filetype                      = 'ASC'
      has_field_separator           = 'X'
*     HEADER_LENGTH                 = 0
*     READ_BY_LINE                  = 'X'
      dat_mode                      = ''

*     FILELENGTH                    =

    TABLES
      data_tab                      = i_text_data

      file_open_error               = 1
      file_read_error               = 2

      dp_out_of_memory              = 14
      disk_full                     = 15
      dp_timeout                    = 16
      OTHERS                        = 17.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
            WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
  ENDIF.

  CALL FUNCTION 'TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP'
    EXPORTING
      i_field_seperator          = 'X'
*     I_LINE_HEADER              =
      i_tab_raw_data             = i_text_data
      i_filename                 = p_file
    TABLES
      i_tab_converted_data       = itab
    EXCEPTIONS
      conversion_failed          = 1
      OTHERS                     = 2.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
            WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
  ENDIF.

Hope this helps. You may to have add some extra coding to check whether the file is an excel file or not.

Hi Azee,

Fill MANDT field with SY-MANDT and the rest of the four fields from the uploaded text file.

If you want to leave the MANDT field blank than leave it blank in your internal table and while inserting use the key word 'CLIENT SPECIFIED'.

Hi,

Even i was facing the problem when i was trying to load the excel into sap, i tried doing it as

changing the file name as .csv

suppose ur excel is "ABC.XLS" try to change it to ".CSV" file and then change in the gui_upload function

file type ABC.CSV

then check the program, if still you get a problem let me know.

else you can do with another function module i,e ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE this also wrks exactly fine
