Missing CRLF in file created on application server

[mrio_espinheira]

Hello,

We have a requisite to create a file on the Application Server (AS/400) with CRLF at the end of every record. The records are stored in this structure:

- OUTPUT: CHAR655, text to export;

- LENGTH: NUMC4, length of the record (text to export).

To create the file I have the following code:

  open dataset lv_filename
    for output in text mode
    encoding default
    with windows linefeed.

  loop at pt_output into ls_output.
    try.
        clear lv_length.
        lv_length = ls_output-length.
        transfer ls_output-output to lv_filename
          length lv_length.
      catch cx_root into gv_oref.
*    TODO
    endtry.
  endloop.

I have two problems:

1º When I open the file in Notepad++ the records should have 500 caracters (lv_length = 500), but it has 502;

2º Only LF appears, not CRLF.

Can anyone help me please?

Regards.

Hello,

Strangest thing, when I test it with 255 characters it works fine (CR+LF):

        clear lv_string.
        ls_output-output+254(1) = cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf.
        lv_string = ls_output-output+0(255).
        transfer lv_string to lv_filename
          length 255.

When I try with 256 characters it doesn't work, at the end of each record I can only find LF:

        clear lv_string.
        ls_output-output+255(1) = cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf.
        lv_string = ls_output-output+0(256).
        transfer lv_string to lv_filename
          length 256.

Don't understand why...

You'lll notice in your reference to CR_LF that the result is 2 bytes.....look again at your cl_abap_char_utilities definition. In NotePad, I would not expect to see the CRLF on the end of the row.

The mentioned code was working, the problem was using FM EPS_FTP_PUT after.
