Hello Experts,

I am encountering an error when trying to pass data from application server

to my internal table. Below is the error:

"You cannot convert the character set"

Hope you can help me guys.Thank you and take care!

Try using addition : IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS and check if you still encounter the same error.

Hi Eswar,

How do I that?Thanks again!

Viray,

Addtion is for OPEN DATASET statement.

>OPEN DATASET <dsn> FOR ...

> IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS.

Check below extract from help:

Addition 4 
... IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS 


Effect 
This addition ensures that no exception is triggered when an error occurs during character set conversion and a file is accessed in read or write mode. If you do not use this addition, the exception CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE is triggered when a conversion error occurs. (For details see READ DATASET and TRANSFER.)

Hi Again Eswar,

Thank you, it solved my problem. By the way, since the file that I am reading from

the app server is tab delimited, is there a way to split in respective fields of my itab?

Since I do not want to loop at my itab again to split because it might cause performance

issue. Below is my current code:

OPEN DATASET lv_filename
             FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE
        ENCODING DEFAULT
        IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS.

    IF sy-subrc = 0.
      WHILE sy-subrc = 0.
        READ DATASET lv_filename INTO wa_ftp_recs.
        TRY.
          CATCH cx_sy_codepage_converter_init.
        ENDTRY.
        TRY.
          CATCH cx_sy_conversion_codepage.
        ENDTRY.
        APPEND wa_ftp_recs TO lt_ftp_recs.
        CLEAR wa_ftp_recs.
      ENDWHILE.
    ENDIF.

    CLOSE DATASET lv_filename.

Thank you and take care!

You can use SPLIT command to get data into respective fields of structure.

Check below example:

DATA: str TYPE string.  " String

CONSTANTS: c_tab TYPE char01 VALUE
              cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.   " Tab Delimeter

OPEN DATASET <dsn> ....
IF sy-subrc eq 0.
   READ DATASET <dsn> INTO str.  " Read to String
   IF sy-subrc NE 0.
      EXIT.
   ELSE.
      SPLIT str AT c_tab INTO <wa>-fld1 <wa>-fld2 ... " Split at Delimeter into fields of work area
      APPEND <wa> TO <itab>. " Append Work Area to Structure
   ENDIF.
ELSE.
 ...." Error Message
ENDIF.

Hi

This is the Syntax for Uploading the File from Application Server .

• Retrieve Data file from Application server(Upload from Unix)

DATA: i_file like rlgrap-filename value '/usr/sap/tmp/file.txt'.

OPEN DATASET i_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE.

IF sy-subrc NE 0.

MESSAGE e999(za) WITH 'Error opening file' i_file.

ENDIF.

DO.

• Reads each line of file individually

READ DATASET i_file INTO wa_datatab.

• Perform processing here

• .....

ENDDO.

Reward points if it is usefull .....

Hi ,

ABAP code for uploading a TAB delimited file into an internal table. See code below for structures. The code is base on uploading a simple txt file.

REPORT zuploadtab .

PARAMETERS: p_infile LIKE rlgrap-filename

OBLIGATORY DEFAULT '/usr/sap/'..

DATA: ld_file LIKE rlgrap-filename.

*Internal tabe to store upload data

TYPES: BEGIN OF t_record,

name1 like pa0002-VORNA,

name2 like pa0002-name2,

age type i,

END OF t_record.

DATA: it_record TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t_record INITIAL SIZE 0,

wa_record TYPE t_record.

*Text version of data table

TYPES: begin of t_uploadtxt,

name1(10) type c,

name2(15) type c,

age(5) type c,

end of t_uploadtxt.

DATA: wa_uploadtxt TYPE t_uploadtxt.

*String value to data in initially.

DATA: wa_string(255) type c.

constants: con_tab TYPE x VALUE '09'.

*If you have Unicode check active in program attributes then you will

*need to declare constants as follows:

*class cl_abap_char_utilities definition load.

*constants:

• con_tab type c value cl_abap_char_utilities=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.

OPEN DATASET ld_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

CLEAR: wa_string, wa_uploadtxt.

READ DATASET ld_file INTO wa_string.

*!! Text data is now contained within the internal table IT_RECORD

• Display report data for illustration purposes

loop at it_record into wa_record.
