Hi,

Before passing output data from internal table to function module, append column headings to the internal table.

Hope this solves ur issue.

@ ramya.

But, my internal table contains fields of one character, so i cant append the column heading of 10-15 characters.

is there any other solution.

If you are outputting with a delimited file, it won't make a difference when they import.

If you are not using delimited tags, then you will need to format the lines before you output them to be underneath the headings.

Here's an example

DATA:
BEGIN OF out_rec,
  col1(20),
  col2(20),
  col3(20),
END OF out_rec,
itlines LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF out_rec.

out_rec-col1 = 'Head1'.
out_rec-col2 = 'Head2'.
out_rec-col3 = 'Head3'.
SHIFT out_rec-col1 RIGHT DELETING TRAILING space.
SHIFT out_rec-col2 RIGHT DELETING TRAILING space.
SHIFT out_rec-col3 RIGHT DELETING TRAILING space.
APPEND out_rec TO itlines.
out_rec-col1 = 'A'.
out_rec-col2 = 'B'.
out_rec-col3 = 'C'.
SHIFT out_rec-col1 RIGHT DELETING TRAILING space.
SHIFT out_rec-col2 RIGHT DELETING TRAILING space.
SHIFT out_rec-col3 RIGHT DELETING TRAILING space.
APPEND out_rec TO itlines.

LOOP AT itlines INTO out_rec.
  WRITE:/ out_rec.    " do your TRANSFER here instead of the write.
ENDLOOP.

@ Paul

Thanks for explaining me with the example...

i got the logic.

but i hw can i give tab delimeter .

[Former Member]

Here's an example.

CONSTANTS:
  c_tab TYPE x VALUE '09'.
DATA:
  out_rec(132),
  itlines LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF out_rec.
CONCATENATE 'Head1' 'Head1' 'Head3' INTO out_rec
  SEPARATED BY c_tab.
*  Do TRANSFER to OUTFILE.

*  loop thru your table.
CONCATENATE table-field1
            table-field2
            table-field3
  INTO out_rec
  SEPARATED BY c_tab.
*  Do TRANSFER to OUTFILE.
*  endloop here

Thanks Paul, it solved my problem.

i have given points for ur help.

Please have a look at below link:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/fc/eb3c7f358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm

Example

The binary data from database table SPFLI is transferred to a binary file flights.dat. The structure of the table rows transferred contains both character-type and numerical fields. Since the type-specific storage of mixed structures in files is not possible, the binary content of the structure is directly accessed using a typed field symbol . To attain the same result, you can directly transfer the structure wa, the recommended procedure is to use the field symbol, however, because it explicitly transfers a binary data type to a binary file. This type of storage is only recommended for short-term storage within the same system, because the byte-type content depends on the byte sequence and the current system code page. For long-term storage or for exchanging between systems, the data should be converted to character-type containers and stored as a text file.

DATA: file TYPE string VALUE `flights.dat`,

wa TYPE spfli.

FIELD-SYMBOLS TYPE x.

OPEN DATASET file FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.

SELECT *

FROM spfli

INTO wa.

ASSIGN wa TO CASTING.

TRANSFER TO file.

ENDSELECT.

CLOSE DATASET file.

Thanks,

Hi,

Before you begin the DO..READ..ENDDO to process the table, and after you've opened the dataset, write your heading line that you

would build containing just the headings.

hi,,,,

refer this program.....hope it will be useful

hi,

You can use opendataset concept.

data : l_line type string.

open dataset p_filename for output in text mode.

If sy-subrc = 0.

loop at i_output into w_output.

concatenate w_output-field1

w_output-field2

into l_line seperated by ','.

transfer l_line to p_filename.

endloop.

endif.

close dataset p_filename.

Now your internal table records will be uploaded in p_filename.

If you want to see it in application server , go to transaction AL11 and double click on your filename .

thanks for the reply,

but my requirement is to have column heading in the text file on the application server after download.
