GUI_UPLOAD problem/file error

[Former Member]

Hey all,

I have tested (tcode SE37) the FM with following parameters (in the DATA_TAB is one record, only text):

Import-Parameter

FILENAME /usr/sap/tmp/TEST.TXT

FILETYPE ASC

HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR

HEADER_LENGTH 0

READ_BY_LINE X

DAT_MODE

CODEPAGE

IGNORE_CERR X

REPLACEMENT #

CHECK_BOM

VIRUS_SCAN_PROFILE

NO_AUTH_CHECK

DATA_TAB (in the DATA_TAB is one record, only text)

When I test the FM I'll get the error-code = 1 (file_open_error).

I don't know why the FM could'nt open the file ( i guess it's not a problem of authorization)

What problem can it be?

Thanks,

Lutz

GUI_UPLOAD is from workstation to application server!

Your path is on the app server!

Try open dataset....

Here all information on open dataset http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/fc/eb3c99358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm

Example for read access

DATA FNAME(60) VALUE 'myfile'.

OPEN DATASET FNAME FOR INPUT.

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
  WRITE / 'File opened'.
  .....
ELSE.
  WRITE / 'File not found'.
ENDIF.

This example opens the file "myfile" for reading.

Once file is open read it like this

READ DATASET <dsn> INTO <f> [LENGTH <len>].

Hi,

GUI_UPLOAD works for presentation server only for application server u have to use DATASET

refer below code

*--Local Variables

DATA : l_file TYPE string,

l_line(1000) TYPE c.

*--Clear

CLEAR : l_file.

l_file = p_aifile.

*--Read the data from application server file.

OPEN DATASET l_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

IF sy-subrc NE c_ok.

MESSAGE e001.

ENDIF.

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

DO.

READ DATASET l_file INTO l_line.

IF sy-subrc NE c_ok.

EXIT.

ELSE.

SPLIT l_line AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab

INTO st_ipfile-anlkl

st_ipfile-txt50

st_ipfile-txa50

st_ipfile-anlhtx

st_ipfile-sernr

st_ipfile-invnr

st_ipfile-aktiv

st_ipfile-invzu

st_ipfile-kostl

st_ipfile-raumn

st_ipfile-ord41

st_ipfile-gdlgrp

st_ipfile-herst

st_ipfile-typbz

st_ipfile-afabe

st_ipfile-afasl

st_ipfile-ndjar

st_ipfile-ndper

st_ipfile-tafabe

st_ipfile-tndper

st_ipfile-anbtr01

st_ipfile-anbtr02

st_ipfile-anbtr03

st_ipfile-anbtr04.

APPEND st_ipfile TO it_ipfile.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

*--Close dataset

CLOSE DATASET l_file.

I think u r trying to upload data from application server rather than presentation server.

FILENAME /usr/sap/tmp/TEST.TXT

This FM only uploads data from presentation server not from application server. To read or write data to application server use open dataset statement.

Hi,

I think your input file is there in application server

Use like this

p_file = /usr/sap/tmp/TEST.TXT

open dataset p_file for input in text mode encoding default.

if sy-subrc = 0.

do.

read dataset p_file into ls_input-wa_string.

if sy-subrc eq 0.

append ls_input to lt_input.

else.

exit.

endif.

enddo.

endif.

close dataset p_file.

if you want to read from presentaion server use GUI_UPLOAD function module

I'm a little confused....

I want to upload a file from PC to a directory of an application server (tcode AL11).

The description of the FM GUI_UPLOAD is following:

The module loads a file from the PC to the server. Data can be transferred binarily or as text. Numbers and date fields can be interpreted according to the user settings.

Is there a misunderstanding in the description?

Thanks,

Lutz
