Problem with GUI_UPLOAD FM

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have trouble using the FM GUI_UPLOAD. I am using this FM to upload text-delimited file data into an ITAB of same structure. The problem is that it is reading only the 1st record and returning sy-subrc = 8. The no of columns in file is 89. When I am reducing the no of columns of this file, then it is reading the data. There is not data format conversion problem, I have check the same. Does any one know why this is happening? Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Prashant.

Dear Prashant,

I think you need to check your Function parameters.

Check for Tab settings also.

It will sure work.

All the best.

Hi,

I don't see the problem there. Following are the parameters used by me in the FM:

EXPORTING

filename = l_file

filetype = 'ASC'

has_field_separator = 'X'

read_by_line = 'X'

TABLES

data_tab = it_conv_data.

FYI the FM is not working with or without the parameter read_by_line.

Reagards,

Hi Prashant,,,,,

The Function Parameters are good, Just remove READ_BY_LINE Parameter,,,,,,,,

The Possible exception could be "BAD_DATA_FORMAT" as the function module Cannot Interpret Data in File

Please Check your file as there is no other reason for this exception,,,,,,,

Try uploading with another file,,,,,

Thanks

data : begin of lt_d occurs 0,

data type string,

end of lt_d.

Use this for the upload function module

Gui_upload and u have the data in lt_d.

delete lt_d where data is initial.

loop at lt_d.

split : lt_d at separator into

wa_itab .....

append wa_itab to itab.

endloop.

use this ...

Hi Saurabh,

As mentioned earlier it is not working with or without read_by_line. Any other ideas. I have tested the program with multiple text files but no luck.

Hi Prashant,

Save your records in an excel file as 'TEXT DELIMITED' file type and pass this text file.

In the GUI_UPLOAD function module, try using these parameters only.

  CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
    EXPORTING
     FILENAME                     = 'c:\vendors.txt'
     FILETYPE                      = 'DAT'
    TABLES
      DATA_TAB                    = VENDOR_TAB.

Hope this solves your problem.

Thanks & Regards.
