Hi,

First read the text file into internal table using FM shown below.

• FM call to upload file

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'

EXPORTING

filename = lv_file_name

filetype = lv_filetype

has_field_separator = lv_gui_sep

TABLES

data_tab = gi_zhralcon_file.

Then after the reqd changes use the FM as shown.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

BIN_FILESIZE = binfile

filename = 'D:\MYFILE.txt' //give the address where u want output.

FILETYPE = 'BIN'

tables

data_tab = pdftab

Hope it helps.

Hi,

What if the contents of my file doesn't contain any field separator, only a TAB, can I indicate there that I wanted to replace the TAB with a comma? Thanks

Hi Chrish again,

Yes you can upload and download file with Tab Separator.

In FM

GUI_UPLOAD

pass paramenter as

HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'.

No, you can not as ther is no such parameter.

This is just to download in tab delimited text file.

Hi Pavan,

Is there a parameter to indicate that, or do I need to code it manually? Thanks

Hi LeBron,

I dont think there will be some parameter for that. As per my knowledge is concerned you need to code it manually. thanks.

Hi,

Check WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR parameter documentation of GUI_DOWNLOAD in se37.

Hope it helps.

You need to set 'X' value to the import parameter HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'

EXPORTING

FILENAME =

FILETYPE = 'ASC'

HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR = ' X'

Value 'X' means: Fields are separated by tabs.

Hi,

You can try the following

1) Upload the text file to a internal table using GUI_UPLOAD.

2) Make the necessary changes to the internal table fields.

3) Pass this internal table to GUI_DOWNLOAD mentioning the same path and file name.

By this the text file will be replaced with the downloaded file with replaced contents.
