Doubt in GUI_UPLOAD function

[Former Member]

Hi friends,

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD '

EXPORTING

FILENAME = FILE

FILETYPE = 'ASC'

*HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'

TABLES

DATA_TAB = ITAB.

In the GUI_UPLOAD function what the filetype should be and has_field_separator should be given what value? What does it mean.How should i prepare the file for example for VA01 transaction if i have a file like this it is not working. What is the problem. I am new to BDC so i need your help on this.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,

File type can be ASC or BIN .

The field separator is "Split columns with TAB during ASCII upload" .

You shoul pass a TAB delimited file to GUI_UPLAOD and it should work fine.

Hope this helps.

The file type can be ASCII or BINARY...

so u can give ASC or BIN.

if you give HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X' it will split the file and store in the internal table.

Try uploading a tab delimited file into a internal table with and without this option... you will find the answer ur self.

try the following.

DATA: begin of ITAB occurs 0,

field1 type char10,

field2 type char10,

end of itab.

data: filename type string value 'C:\TMP.TXT'.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'

EXPORTING

FILENAME = filename

FILETYPE = 'ASC'

TABLES

DATA_TAB = itab.

loop at itab.

write:/ itab-field1, 20 itab-field2.

endloop.

create a file with tab-delimitations.
