CSV FILE Format Problem with ';'

[Former Member]

IS there a way to tell the function to use '<b>,</b>' instead of '<b>;</b>'?

I am using this

I_FIELD_SEPERATOR = ','

Still the output files shows-up with ';'

I need the output file as <b>.CSV</b>

any solutions please

...

CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT'

EXPORTING

I_FIELD_SEPERATOR = ','

TABLES

I_TAB_SAP_DATA = OUTPUT_REC

CHANGING

I_TAB_CONVERTED_DATA = itab1

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.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

filename = v_outputfile

TABLES

DATA_TAB = itab1

EXCEPTIONS

FILE_OPEN_ERROR = 1

FILE_WRITE_ERROR = 2

INVALID_FILESIZE = 3

INVALID_TABLE_WIDTH = 4

INVALID_TYPE = 5

NO_BATCH = 6

UNKNOWN_ERROR = 7

OTHERS = 8.

Hi,

Try to use the FM SAP_CONVERT_TO_TEX_FORMAT. THis FM is called inside the function module SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT..

Thanks,

it works for .txt files but i need the output file to be .csv

Hi

A CSV file is a text file and that fm seems not to use the parameter filename, so it should work for csv file too.

When I change the extension to csv it chages the account number to 1.45592E+11 from 145591769339. is there anyway to prevent it from doing so?

hi anwarul,

instead pf using function module

take one internal table say IT_UPLOAD' in that

REC(300) TYPE C,

and SPLIT IT_UPLOAD AT ','

INTO

yu internal table.

it will work.

Check this example..

CHAR4(4) VALUE 'ABCD',

CHAR10(10) VALUE '1234567890',

CHAR20(20) VALUE '12345678901234567890',

END OF T_INPUT.

DATA: T_OUTPUT TYPE TRUXS_T_TEXT_DATA.

APPEND T_INPUT.

CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_TEX_FORMAT'

EXPORTING

i_field_seperator = ','

tables

i_tab_sap_data = T_INPUT

CHANGING

I_TAB_CONVERTED_DATA = T_OUTPUT

EXCEPTIONS

CONVERSION_FAILED = 1

OTHERS = 2

IF sy-subrc <> 0.
