Problem with Read dataset

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I am reading a file (stored in a DAT format on application server) with READ DATASET statement. there is one quantity field (MENGE) and Currency field (WRBTR).

When I read the file into an internal table the data record in internal table is getting appended with addition 20 like this.

Actul valueValue in internal table

WRBTR MENGE WRBTR MENGE

71.66 1 20202020071.66 2020202001.200

113.75 1 20202020113.75 2020202001.200

how to remove this additional '20'?

Has anyone faced a similar problem before?

Regards,

Anup

20 means " " (space) in hexa.

Hi Anup,

20 is the hexadecimal equivalent for space.

In which mode did you open the file?

Open the file in text mode. and see if the problem exists.

I think you are opening the file in binary mode and writing it.. Use text mode with encoding ... this should solve your problem

maybe the problem is the conversion, you have set directly the value of the file into the table. Better is to read data into a char field and use MOVE to let SAP convert the value into the end-field.

Can you paste your code for the file open/read part?
