Hi,

Do like this

*--Local Variables

DATA : l_file TYPE string,

l_line TYPE string.

*--Clear

CLEAR : l_file.

l_file = p_ipfile.

*--Read the data from application server file.

OPEN DATASET l_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

IF sy-subrc NE 0.

*--Error in opening file

MESSAGE i368(00) WITH text-005.

ENDIF.

*--Get all the records from the specified location.

DO.

READ DATASET l_file INTO l_line.

IF sy-subrc NE 0.

EXIT.

ELSE.

SPLIT l_line AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab

INTO st_ipfile-vbeln

st_ipfile-posnr

st_ipfile-edatu

st_ipfile-wmeng.

APPEND st_ipfile TO it_ipfile.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

*--Close dataset

CLOSE DATASET l_file.

Hi ,

Try declaring as follows:

data: c_tab(1) TYPE c.

CLASS cl_abap_char_utilities DEFINITION LOAD.

c_tab = cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.

Hi,

You can try the same pattern code to do that.K_sep can be a constant of value #.

loop at i_file_tab into wa_file_tab.

split wa_file_tab-inp_string

at k_sep

into wa_lngtxt-objid wa_lngtxt-txtid

wa_lngtxt-lang wa_lngtxt-matnr

wa_lngtxt-werks wa_lngtxt-plnnr

wa_lngtxt-plnal wa_lngtxt-op_num

wa_lngtxt-text.

endloop.

Hope this will Help

Hi

In that case use this way..

SPLIT p_data AT CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB INTO

INTO wa_data-field1

wa_data-field2.

The other one you have mentioned does not work for newer versions as ECC 6.0

Thanks
