Hi Nishant,

This is one of the limitations of AL11, it is UNIX system.

But if you read the same file back in your program then you will get the 1000 char.

Don't worry, your data in the file in intact.

WHen am downloading the file frm application server and reading onwards from 738'th position, the values are being shown as blank.. The file i initially uploaded to application server had values at that position.

Hi Nishant,

You have the data in File, But you are able to see only 255 chars. But when you download the data you can see the full contents.

hi,

AL11 shows only fixed length of characters.if you want reconfirm whether upload to application server(by using CG3Z) is success or not,

do the download to presentation server using CG3Y transaction & check the contents. i believe it will have exact data.

Hi Srikanth,

The downloaded file doesnt have the correct data. Its truncated as well..

I have defined the internal table to be of 1000 characters.

Hi nashant,

When u use CG3Z u can download data from PC TO APPLICATION SERVER.

when u download from application to pc u can see all the data.

When u use CG3Y u can download data from APPLICATION SERVER TO PC.

Thanks

Hi,

Try using Addition option with Transfer

... LENGTH len

Effect

The length of the data object to be written is defined by len, where len can be either a constant or a variable. The length is specified in bytes if the file is opened in BINARY MODE or LEGACY MODE. Note that alignment bytes are included in the length, if the data object is a structure. If the file is opened in TEXT MODE, the length refers to the number of characters that are to be written.

If len is shorter than the data object f, the system truncates f on the right.

With type I or F fields, unexpected results may occur if len is shorter than the default length for the field type.

Close the Thread if the problem is solved. Mark Helpfull answers

Hi Nishant,

Have tried using lenght option with transfer

As i posted above . ( I think it takes 255 char as default ....no sure )

just check wheather it works

TRANSFER rec TO '/usr/test.dat' length 1000.

or

lv_lenght = strlen ( rec ).

TRANSFER rec TO '/usr/test.dat' length lv_lenght.

or
