LSMW Error When Uploading file (Return Code = 7)

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I got this message in step 9 'Read Data'. I've checked everything about file i'm doing as always. The fle is not open during the steps and file format is Text (tab delimited). Could you please tell me what is the problem?

Regards

RC 7 = unknown error

you can just be sure that it is not one of the other listed errors:

file_open_error               = 1
file_read_error               = 2
no_batch                      = 3
gui_refuse_filetransfer       = 4
invalid_type                  = 5
no_authority                  = 6
unknown_error                 = 7
bad_data_format               = 8
header_not_allowed            = 9
separator_not_allowed         = 10
header_too_long               = 11
unknown_dp_error              = 12
access_denied                 = 13
dp_out_of_memory              = 14
disk_full                     = 15
dp_timeout                    = 16
OTHERS                        = 17

you may have to debug the read program. Click personal menu, then activate the box in from of display read program.

you get a new step 9, which gives you the source for the read program. there you can set breakpints for the debugger, which will start when you execute the read step (which is then step 10)

i debugged the program and the file seems empty but it's not. I've tried the same file in a different system and it works. The error i get from the system is EHP4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0 / NW7.01 - Unicode system: Yes. And the system which i didn't get any error is SAP R/3 Enterprise - Unicode system: No. I think the problem is because of the system. What must i do?

[JL23]

had you imported the LSMW project from a non-unicode system to a unicode system?

how had you prepared your source file. In Excel I save as Unicode text to avoid any problems.

Yes i tried everything and also save as the file unicode text but it doesn't works either.

maybe this note explains a bit more:

Thanks Jürgen but still not solved:(

[JL23]

had you imported/transported the LSMW project from a non-unicode system to a unicode system?

or is this LSMW project and old project and you had meanwhile a upgrade to the new SAP release?
