Problem with '#'

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I have issue with '#'. The problem is when I use tab delimited file for upload, system uses '#' as the seperator. System doesn't split at '#' when I use

( split xflat at '#' into table irec ) statement.

start-of-selection.

• Add X number of fields to the dynamic itab cataelog

do p_flds times.

clear wa_it_fldcat.

wa_it_fldcat-fieldname = sy-index.

wa_it_fldcat-datatype = 'C'.

wa_it_fldcat-inttype = 'C'.

wa_it_fldcat-intlen = 10.

append wa_it_fldcat to it_fldcat .

enddo.

.

• Create dynamic internal table and assign to FS

call method cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table

exporting

it_fieldcatalog = it_fldcat

importing

ep_table = new_table.

assign new_table->* to <dyn_table>.

• Create dynamic work area and assign to FS

create data new_line like line of <dyn_table>.

assign new_line->* to <dyn_wa>.

file = p_file.

call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload

exporting

filename = file

changing

data_tab = iflat

exceptions

file_open_error = 1

file_read_error = 2

no_batch = 3

gui_refuse_filetransfer = 4

invalid_type = 5

no_authority = 6

unknown_error = 7

bad_data_format = 8

header_not_allowed = 9

separator_not_allowed = 10

header_too_long = 11

unknown_dp_error = 12

access_denied = 13

dp_out_of_memory = 14

disk_full = 15

dp_timeout = 16

others = 17.

loop at iflat into xflat.

clear irec. refresh irec.

split xflat at '#' into table irec.

loop at irec.

tabix = sy-tabix.

assign component tabix of structure <dyn_wa> to <dyn_field>.

<dyn_field> = irec.

endloop.

append <dyn_wa> to <dyn_table>.

endloop.

Please help me out. It is very urgent and I have already spent lot of time to solve this issue which couldn't.

Many Thanks.

Hello Sankar

If your SAP release has class <b>CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES</b> available you might try and use its constant <b>CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB</b> to split your lines instead of using '#'.

Hi

Probably Uwe're using a release higher than your.

The HORIZONTAL_TAB is not a method but an attribute of class CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES, but I think it's defined from rel. 4.7.

Anyway you have to chance:

- First one:

DATA: CHAR_SEP(1) TYPE X VALUE '09'.

LOOP AT IFLAT INTO XFLAT.
.....................
  SPLIT XFLAT AT CHAR_SEP INTO TABLE IREC.

- The second one: u can use directly the table <dyn_table> and set the paramter TAB_SEPARATOR. In this way the fm split automatically the data.
