Hi

Please let me know the code to read a xls or csv file from the SAP application unix server.I had written the code,but in case of xls file the output is junk values.

OUTPUT:###########3 OK &&&&&&&&&&&&&

is coming like this.

code:

DATA:BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,

matl_type(4) TYPE c,

matl_group(9) TYPE c,

matl_desc(40) TYPE c,

char_prof(18) TYPE c,

END OF itab.

DATA:wa LIKE itab.

DATA file TYPE string VALUE `/sap/inbound/master.xls`.

BREAK-POINT.

OPEN DATASET file FOR INPUT IN binary MODE.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

WRITE:'ok'.

ENDIF.

DO.

READ DATASET file INTO wa.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

itab = wa.

WRITE: / wa-matl_type,

wa-matl_group,

wa-matl_desc,

wa-char_prof.

APPEND itab.

after reading the dataset,you have to SPLIT the data that is got from the file so that the fields

are placed correctly into the corresponding fields..
