How to upload different flat files into BW server by using single coding

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am working on BW systems. I have hundreds of flat files in my PC. I have to write the single program to upload all flat files. Actually my requirement is, i have to sum the values of numeric fields existing in the flat files and print them. There may be any number of numeric fields existing in a flat file. And I need to develop a single code for any flat file. Please suggest and try to provide sample coding.

Thanks

Hi Sasi!

Sounds funny: I don't know which kind of data I have (it's different all the times), but they expect me to show the right number in the end.

OK, in class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES you will find the tools to get the data into SAP. I would propose more a binary style, automatic field splits need corresponding variables in SAP.

Then have a look at the split-command. I think there is a version, where you can put in one line and get out a internal table with every column as a line. -> variable number of columns is no longer a problem, you can loop. Of course you need a field separator, but that's hopefully no problem.

And then process the next line... and the next file...

Regards,

Christian
