[Former Member]

Hi,

I am uploading data from tab-delimited text file to SAP. While uploading i am getting anonymus character of tab. How can i remove that? or how can i upload data of which i dont know the total field length of each field but tab seperates it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Prax ,

What is the type of file you are trying to upload and which function module are you using to upload.

If you are using GUI_UPLOAD

then here is a sample code which works fine

Data : Begin of it_1 occurs 0 ,

name1(25) ,

name2(25) ,

End of it_1.

data : file_name type string.

start-of-selection.

file_name = 'C:\test.txt'.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'

EXPORTING

FILENAME = file_name

• FILETYPE = 'ASC'

HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR = '#' " takes care of tab delimiter

• HEADER_LENGTH = 0

• READ_BY_LINE = 'X'

• DAT_MODE = ' '

• IMPORTING

• FILELENGTH =

• HEADER =

TABLES

DATA_TAB = it_1.

• EXCEPTIONS

• FILE_OPEN_ERROR = 1

• FILE_READ_ERROR = 2

• NO_BATCH = 3

• GUI_REFUSE_FILETRANSFER = 4

• INVALID_TYPE = 5

• NO_AUTHORITY = 6

• UNKNOWN_ERROR = 7

• BAD_DATA_FORMAT = 8

• HEADER_NOT_ALLOWED = 9

• SEPARATOR_NOT_ALLOWED = 10

• HEADER_TOO_LONG = 11

• UNKNOWN_DP_ERROR = 12

• ACCESS_DENIED = 13

• 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.

1) upload fiel via gui upoad and give some seperator in betwen the fields in the file say '#'.

declare 2 internal tables one as per ur data fields and other one -

data: begin of itab occurs 0,

d_char(255),

end of itab.

upload data in this table.and then u have to split it ino other tabvle itab1 as folows -

loop at itab.

split itab at '#' into itab1-field1 itab1-field2 itab1-field3.

append itab1.

clear: itab1,itab.

endloop.

u can give any arbitraroy length of firlds in Itab1 say each field 15 chars long..

hope u got my point.

Hi,

first of all u need to declare the internal table with the flat file structure.

for example if ur flat file has 10 fields then ur internal table shouls also have same 10 fields...No use the FM GIU_UPLOAD..chek some sample code..

types: begin of t_upload,

field1 type c,

-

---

,

-

---

,

field10 type c,

end of t_upload .

data : i_upload type standard table of t_upload.

lv_file1 = (filename whcih is selected on the presentation server)

c_asc = 'ASC'

C_X = 'X'..

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'

EXPORTING

filename = lv_file1

filetype = c_asc

has_field_separator = c_x

TABLES

data_tab = i_upload

EXCEPTIONS

file_open_error = 1

file_read_error = 2

no_batch = 3

gui_refuse_filetransfer = 4

invalid_type = 5

no_authority = 6

unknown_error = 7

bad_data_format = 8

header_not_allowed = 9

separator_not_allowed = 10

header_too_long = 11

unknown_dp_error = 12

access_denied = 13

dp_out_of_memory = 14

disk_full = 15

dp_timeout = 16

OTHERS = 17.

plz mark if u find useful...

hi,

if your mode of separation is ' ' or ',' or anonymus character.

loop at table .

split at ' ' or ',' into <table-f1> <table-f2>

endloop.

[Former Member]

Hi Prax,

When you upload the tab delimited file into application server, you will get # symbols in place of tab. Do not worry about this, as # only represents the tab. If you download this file back to the presentation server from application (using CG3Y transaction), you will not find any # symbols in it.

You can do any computations / file operations in the uploaded file, the # symbols will not create any problems.

I am not able to do with split option.

My string comes like,

IT-01#KFC#DEL#CCU#001300001#12122006#5680#0.7746#CCU#1452#201377#N

I tried to apply split at '#' . But it doesnt work because SAP is unable to make out tabs.

Any help.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Prax ,

As in my previous post , if you are using the FM GUI_UPLOAD , the assign '#' to the parameter HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR .

This worked when i tried it out.

In case you are using some other FM ,please tell the it name

Hi Arun,

I tried with same. But its picking only first field.

Thanks in advance

[Former Member]

Hi ,

Are you using the FM GUI_UPLOAD and yes the internal table into which the data is uploaded from the FM how many fields does it have .

I tested the code where i had two fields in the file (name1 and name2) which were tab delimited and my internal table also had 2 fileds per record and it worked fine

Please check the same and revert back to me.

Regards

Arun

[Former Member]

Thanks Arun.

It worked fine.
