excel uploading

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

i am uploading the EXCEL file to SAP using Function Module 'TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO _SAP', In that flat file i have one text field around 700 charecters, but from Function Module it is uploading only 256 charcters.

i have tried with both STRING and CHAR

data : var_text type string, and

data : var_text(4096) type c.

But this variables are not storing more than 256 charecters...

please give me UR valuable and HELPFUL suggestion.....

Hi,

Please do try the following function module,"'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE'"

which will collect the excell to an internal table from where you can update to DB table.

Have a look at FM ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE this is fine until it gets to teh following statement

perform separated_to_intern_convert tables excel_tab intern

using ld_separator.

You should be able to utilise a lot of the code from here.

Hi

You have do the fallowing steps

1) Copy the FM ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE and make a zFM use this FM.

2) Copy the table ALSMEX_TABLINE make a Ztable using this table.

3) Change the filed(VALUE) in ztable with a 1000 char dataelement.

4) Use this table as table parameter associated type.

then the ZFM

Hi,

The Character Data Type (C) can store upto 255 characters.

If you want to store more than 255 characters then go for

STRING Data Type.

Hope it helps you.

Hi,

I do not think it is a DATA TYPE problem. As far as I understand one cannot export/import more that 256 characters into excel/word for a single field. I think this is more like a constrain.

I had a scenario where I tried replacing a word in WORD doc using a macro and it had a similar issue.

Hii!

Check Out this code

REPORT  z_file3.

      w_line TYPE i VALUE 1,
      w_file TYPE rlgrap-filename.


DATA:
  t_tab LIKE
  TABLE OF ALSMEX_TABLINE
  WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA: fs_tab LIKE LINE OF t_tab.


w_file = 'C:\Documents and Settings\abc\Desktop\Book1.xls'.
CALL FUNCTION 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE'
  EXPORTING
    filename                      = w_file
    i_begin_col                   = 1
    i_begin_row                   = 1
    i_end_col                     = 10
    i_end_row                     = 100
