Hi

I believe you are talking about the Material master views.

IF so you can use SAP standard program RMDATIND. This is the most recommend for material master.

Use LSMW with Direct input, which is much easier instead of writing code.

Hope this is what you are expecting.

hi sreekanth it is not suggestable to use standard program to upload data becoz if the flat file contains error records that same gets updated in database .

can u give me code with flat file with different views.

Jaya,

In that case write a preprocessor program, which will take the business file performs all the validations and then creates a new file with vaild records in that. Use this newly created file with SAP standard programs.

In generally for each view of material master, we will create a new program to avoid all sorts of confusion.

Coming to the code.

when file is in Application server

FORM upload_pfile.

OPEN DATASET p_pfile FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE.

*--Display Error message if file could not be opened.

IF sy-subrc NE 0.

MESSAGE e000 WITH text-029.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

**--Move records one by one to a string and then process

DO.

READ DATASET p_pfile INTO wa_flatfile.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

MOVE wa_flatfile TO tbl_flatfile.

COLLECT tbl_flatfile.

CLEAR: tbl_flatfile,

wa_flatfile.

ELSE.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

CLOSE DATASET p_pfile.

ENDFORM. " upload_pfile

If the file is on PC

FORM upload_ufile.

CALL FUNCTION 'WS_UPLOAD'

EXPORTING

filename = p_ufile

filetype = c_ftype

TABLES

data_tab = tbl_flatfile

EXCEPTIONS

conversion_error = 1

file_open_error = 2

file_read_error = 3

invalid_type = 4

no_batch = 5

unknown_error = 6

invalid_table_width = 7

gui_refuse_filetransfer = 8

customer_error = 9

OTHERS = 10.

IF sy-subrc NE 0.

MESSAGE s000 WITH text-052.

ENDIF.

ENDFORM. " upload_ufile
