The FM GUI_UPLOAD can identity only a tab separator or no separator. If your txt file has | separator, then do onething. Open the txt file go to menu edit and select replace. Here in find field give | and replace field give 5spaces then click replace all. This will replace all | symbols into tab. Now u can use FM GUI_UPLOAD with parameter HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'.

Hi,

You can upload the file usnig GUI_UPLOAD with filetype as ASC and field_seprator as space. For this you need to take the internal table as Char of 1000 (which is per your requirement).

loop at table and using SPLIT statement you can split the string at pipe '|' in to internal table. check the help on SPLIT statement.

you can use method also

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload

EXPORTING

filename = pa_cnfg

filetype = 'ASC'

CHANGING

data_tab = gt_file1

file_open_error = 1
