Hi,

File Type (ASC or BIN)

Description

Describes how the upload file is read.

'BIN'.

The system reads a binary representation of the internal table from the

file. The data is neither converted nor interpreted in this case.

Usually, reasonable results are obtained only if the internal table

consists of a single column of type 'X'.

'DAT'

The components of the internal table are filled from the file. If the

table contains several columns, the entries in the file must be

separated by tabs. No conversion exits are performed.

The following applies for the different data types:

I or N or P or F

The numbers must be formatted according to the decimal representation

defined in the user settings.

D

The date must be formatted according to the date format defined in the user settings.

T

The time must be formatted as hh:mm:ss.

'ASC'.

The components of the internal table are filled from the file. Only

data types with fixed length are allowed. The data must be contained

in the file in its full length.

Default

ASC

Cheers,

Simha.
