Flat file upload

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

If the flat file is of tab delimited type, means is it excel or text file ? How to upload that file into Internal table. Because, if excel we have to use 'ALSM_excel_to_internal table'. If text file no need to use this FM. Please guide. It is just given that, flat file is of tab delimited.

Hi,

You can use the GUI_UPLOAD to upload the tab delimited file.

Filetype should be 'DAT' and HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR should be 'X'.

Hi,

Use the following code to upload file in excel format.

DATA: tb_file_data TYPE TABLE OF text4096,
      tb_testfile TYPE TABLE OF ty_testfile,
      tb_testfile_file TYPE TABLE OF ty_testfile_file.


  DATA: lv_file_name TYPE rlgrap-filename.
  lv_file_name = pa_filep.
* To upload file in excel format
  CALL FUNCTION 'TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP'
    EXPORTING
      i_line_header        = ''
      i_tab_raw_data       = tb_file_data
      i_filename           = lv_file_name
    TABLES
      i_tab_converted_data = tb_testfile_file
    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.
