issue while downloading file in .CSV format

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to download the file in .CSV format.

I hade used FM SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT and then used GUI_Download.

Now when I am opening file which is downloaded, it gives all the data in a single column. If there are 5 fields in my table, the generated file gives the data of all the 5 fields in a single column.

Could you please help?

Hi,

After you ahve open it save ti again as a CSV format and then try to open it basically when you create a CSV file all the fields values would be in one row separated by comma try saving as CSv format and then check.

Hi,

In GUI_DOWNLOAD function module, along with other parameters put WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'.

Hope it helps

Hi,

I ried using FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X', but still the same.

Hi,

Check if you are using ';' as the field seperator in the FM SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT.

If you want the Tab delimited file then call GUI_DOWNLOAD with FILETYPE as 'DAT' and WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR as 'X'.
