Now if i am split this file to '#' it is not heppening.

DATA: BEGIN OF T_TEMP OCCURS 16,

TEXT(300),

END OF T_TEMP.

DATA: LV_FILE(3000).

DATA: L_INT TYPE I,

L_COUNT TYPE I. "For index

DO.

READ DATASET INPUT INTO LV_FILE.

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.

SPLIT LV_FILE AT '#' INTO TABLE T_TEMP.

endif.

enddo.

Can any body help me out.

Hi,

I am not finding OPEN Dataset statement, please check. Since you cannot read a dataset without opening it.

Also check that

READ DATASET INPUT INTO LV_FILE.

returns sy-subrc eq 0.

Thanks & Regards,

Modify code as:

DATA: BEGIN OF T_TEMP OCCURS 16,

TEXT(300),

END OF T_TEMP.

DATA: LV_FILE(3000).

DATA: L_INT TYPE I,

L_COUNT TYPE I. "For index

open dataset INPUT for input in text mode.

if sy-subrc eq 0.

DO.

READ DATASET INPUT INTO LV_FILE.

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.

SPLIT LV_FILE AT '#' INTO TABLE T_TEMP.

endif.

enddo.

endif.

Split your string at CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB which corresponds to the keyboard TAB key.

Tab equivalent is '#' , you can replace that with the help of

utlities class.

use cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab instead of '#'.

Can you check the contents of lv_file after read statement is it just like format you gave : AAA#BBB#CCC#DDD#

I tried the sample code it works:

DATA:
  str TYPE string VALUE 'AAA#BBB#CCC#DDD#'.

DATA:
  BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,
    data(255),
  END OF itab.

SPLIT str AT '#' INTO TABLE itab.

The '#' is not normal one. simple replace or split will not work, tab(key board) will be displayed as '#' , though it appears as '#' it won't recognize when you use split or replace using normal '#'.
