How to append error message in internal table

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am reading one text file into an internal table using GUI_UPLOAD. Now in few lines there are some errors.

I want to concatenate those errors in front of respected lines and download the file again using GUI_DOWNLOAD.

Can anyone tell me how to concatenate infront of that line only.

After reading in internal table my data in internal table is like this-

Im not sure if I understood your question correctly.

But let me try.

Either you add another column (for messages) to your internal table or increase the length of the last field to hold the new text (message) to be appended.

Doing a looping at that internal table:

(Let's say you add one more column to your itab - field 'message')

LOOP AT i_tab.

IF error is encountered

i_tab-message = 'This is the error message'.

ENDIF.

MODIFY i_tab INDEX sy-index.

ENDLOOP.

(Or you just want to append the message at the last column of your itab, let's say your last column is field 'comment')

LOOP AT i_tab.

IF error is encountered

CONCATENATE i_tab-comment 'This is the error message' INTO i_tab-comment SEPARATED BY SPACE.

ENDIF.

MODIFY i_tab INDEX sy-index.

ENDLOOP.
