Hi,

Assuming that the internal table is of type string :

loop at itab into watab.

concatenate wa_tab-field1 wa_tab-field2 wa_tab-field3 into wa_output-field1 
separated by cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.

append wa_output to gt_output.

endloop.

Hi,

Using this method we can include Horizontal tab as '#'.

but can we include the TAB as we are getting when we are using FM 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'.

Thanks....

[RaymondGiuseppi]

Use cl_abap_char_utilities=>HORIZONTAL_TAB

Hi Rajeshwar,

Try the following snippet for delimiter.

DATA: w_deli(1) TYPE c,           "delimiter
      w_text(50) TYPE c,
      w_hex TYPE x.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs> .

ASSIGN w_deli TO <fs> TYPE 'X'.
w_hex = 09.
<fs> = w_hex.

CONCATENATE 'Testing' 'Tab' 'Delimiter' INTO w_text SEPARATED BY w_deli.
WRITE: w_text.

Use w_deli as delimiter.

Hope this will help you.

Hi,

Hi,

Tab wud b displayed as # if you open the file in application server ( AL11).

Download the file to presentation server using transaction CG3Y / CG3Z & then check.

1. wud b replaced by TAB.

Hi Rajeshwar,

Actually hash is nothing but tab delemeted file on application server.

So you have to loop at each record and concatenate all the fields with '#' as seperator.

data : wa_output(200) type c.

loop at itab into watab.

concatenate wa_tab-field1 wa_tab-field2 wa_tab-field3 into wa_output-field1

separated by cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.

append wa_output to gt_output.

endloop.

Then probably you can download the file at application server if you have such requirement.

concatenate wa_tab-field1 wa_tab-field2 wa_tab-field3 into wa_output-field1

separated by  '|'.

append wa_output to gt_output.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the info, But inorder to achieve this we need to loop the internal table, in my scenario my internal table has 50 lakh records, so its not possible to do with a loop.

Is there any other alternative way of FM to achieve this.

Thanks
