no need to split , use GUI_UPLOAD and give HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X' , it will work

REPORT ZTEST.

DATA : BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,
         FIELD1(10),
         FIELD2(10),
         FIELD3(10),
       END OF ITAB.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
  EXPORTING
    FILENAME            = 'C:Documents and SettingschandrasekharjDesktoptest.txt'
    FILETYPE            = 'ASC'
    HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'
  TABLES
    DATA_TAB            = ITAB.

LOOP AT ITAB.
  WRITE : / ITAB-FIELD1 , ITAB-FIELD2 , ITAB-FIELD3.
ENDLOOP.

DATA: str1 TYPE string,

str2 TYPE string,

str3 TYPE string,

itab TYPE TABLE OF string,

text TYPE string.

text = `What a drag it is getting old`.

SPLIT text AT space INTO: str1 str2 str3,

TABLE itab.

SPLIT text AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab INTO: TABLE itab

Hi ,

The character '#' is a Horizontal tab ..

Those '#' are special characters to indicates new line or tab. You need to use the abap objects CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES to fix this issue.

define a constant..

constants :

C_HTAB value CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB. **<--Horizontal tab

loop at i_input.

split i_input at C_HTAB into i_finaltab-field1 i_input.

split i_input at C_HTAB into i_finaltab-field2 i_input.

split i_input at C_HTAB into i_finaltab-field3 i_input.

split i_input at C_HTAB into i_finaltab-field4 i_input.

append i_tab.

endloop.

hi,

if you are in version less than 4.6C

follow the following steps.

1> upload the file using ws_upload

2>declare a variable v_hex type X value 09.

3> split the internal table at v_hex into the internal table with the 3 fields.

incase you are in higher version then

split at space.... rather than declaring a hexadecimal variable

Method1)

If you use the FM GUI_UPLOAD, then you have to pass the parameter

HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X' . Then you will get the data in the corresponding columns automatically.

.

If you do not specify the has_field_separator = 'X', then your internal table wil have record with a string that is separated by tabs.

you have to use the following logic to separate them.

loop at itab.

split itab-data at CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB into itab1-field1 itab1-field2 itab1-field3.

append itab1.

clear itab1.

endloop.

hi,

here is the code to upload tab delimited file go through it

DATA:

Hi,

Use <b>HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'</b> option of GUI_UPLOAD. This definately will solve your problem.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'

EXPORTING

FILENAME = 'spfli_pser2'

FILETYPE = 'ASC'

HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'

• HEADER_LENGTH = 0

• READ_BY_LINE = 'X'

• DAT_MODE = ' '

• CODEPAGE = ' '

• IGNORE_CERR = ABAP_TRUE

• REPLACEMENT = '#'

• CHECK_BOM = ' '

• VIRUS_SCAN_PROFILE =

• IMPORTING

• FILELENGTH =

• HEADER =

TABLES

DATA_TAB = T_SPFLI

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

.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

do this way....

• table to place delimiter

DATA: BEGIN OF it_hex,

tab TYPE x,

END OF it_hex.

CONSTANTS: cns_09(2) TYPE n VALUE 09,

c_val1 TYPE c VALUE 'X',

g_deli(1) TYPE c.

ASSIGN g_deli TO <fs> TYPE c_val1.

it_hex-tab = cns_09.

<fs> = it_hex-tab.

loop at i_input.

split it_input at g_deli into it_final-field1 it_input.

split it_input at g_deli into it_final-field2 it_input.

split it_input at g_deli into it_final-field3 it_input.

append it_final.

endloop.
