Hello Babal ,

i am gving u the logic ...

1) Read your file from application to your internal table .

loop the internal table into wa_itab . .

do .

if wa_itab is not initial .

split wa_itab at <seprator> into var1 var2 .

wa_itab = var2 .

endif .

enddo .

endloop.

if feel any problem , please ....ask

Thanks and Regards..

Hello,

You can read file into string using DATASET.

After that split it into internal of single column at delimiter "'".

SPLIT string AT sep INTO TABLE ITAB.

Thanks,

Augustin.

Hi Babbal singh, try this way. It works.

REPORT ztest_notepad.

DATA:it_data TYPE TABLE OF string,
     wa_data LIKE LINE OF it_data.


DATA:p_app_file(100) TYPE c VALUE '/user/sap/tmp',
     p_separator     TYPE c VALUE ''''. "quote separator
"START-OF-SELECTION

START-OF-SELECTION.

  OPEN DATASET p_app_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
  IF sy-subrc = 0.
    DO.
      READ DATASET p_app_file INTO wa_data.
      IF wa_data IS INITIAL.
        EXIT.
      ELSE.
        SPLIT wa_data AT p_separator INTO TABLE it_data.
      ENDIF.
    ENDDO.
  ENDIF.
  CLOSE DATASET p_app_file.

Thanks Venkat.O
