Hi All,

I am trying to upload flat file data into appl server.but it is uploading some unwanted characters at the end.The code and data is given below.plz let me know the solution.

DATA : file type rlgrap-filename.

data : begin of itab occurs 0,

rec(500) type c,

end of itab.

file = '/lz01/fin/in/bop_Checkrecon1.txt'.

clear : itab.

refresh : itab.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'

EXPORTING

FILENAME = 'C:\bop3.txt'

FILETYPE = 'ASC'

• HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR = ' '

HEADER_LENGTH = 0

READ_BY_LINE = 'X'

• DAT_MODE = ' '

• CODEPAGE = ' '

• IGNORE_CERR = ABAP_TRUE

• REPLACEMENT = '#'

• CHECK_BOM = ' '

• VIRUS_SCAN_PROFILE =

.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

open dataset file for input in text mode encoding default.

clear itab.

loop at itab.

transfer itab-rec to file.

clear itab.

endloop.

close dataset file.

The exact structure and the data present in the flat file is as follows:

Hello Rakesh

If you display your flat file using an editor (like Notepad) then the file may look ok. However, there may be special characters at the end of every line that are not displayed.

Use the following approach to analyze your flat file:

(1) Start Microsoft Excel

(2) Open your flat file from with Excel. Be careful to choose the right <b>Codepage</b> in the <i>Text Converter Assistent</i>. For example, located in Switzerland I would most like choose Codepage = Windows(ANSI) or 1250 Middle European (Windows)

(3) Scroll to the end of lines and check if there are special characters

Regards

Uwe

Hello Rakesh

Forgotten to mention: do no longer use fm GUI_UPLOAD but use the static methods of class <b>CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES</b>:

- GUI_UPLOAD

- GUI_DOWNLOAD

The class in <b>Unicode</b>-compatible whereas the fm is not.

Before start of selection add below lines. then i think it will work

CLASS cl_abap_char_utilities DEFINITION LOAD.

g_tab = cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.

that g_tab is your internall table.

and also check once with cg3z

go to transaction cg3z there you give your file path and target path

put ascii mode not bin mode

and upload file .

now you go to your application server and check the data if it is same format in which you want , then problem is with your code .
