Transfer data in unix with tab-delimited

[Former Member]

Hi,

How can we transfer data to unix with tab-delimited? I have incoming file with tab-delimited and want to copy as backup file in another folder in unix. When I read the incoming file, tab separator is translated into '#' so when I do transfer data to the backup folder, the file contains '#'.

Is there a way to transfer data in tab-delimited?

thank you

try to use delimiter cl_abap_char_utilities=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.

here is a piece of code:

REPORT ztestfile .

DATA: BEGIN OF gt_file_out OCCURS 0,

filed(2000),

END OF gt_file_out.

START-OF-SELECTION.

DATA: lv_file_out LIKE filename-fileextern.

CONCATENATE 'Hello' 'World' INTO gt_file_out SEPARATED

BY cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.

APPEND gt_file_out.

lv_file_out = '
XXXX\XXXX\mytest1.txt'.

OPEN DATASET lv_file_out FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

LOOP AT gt_file_out.

TRANSFER gt_file_out TO lv_file_out.

ENDLOOP.

CLOSE DATASET lv_file_out.

Hi,

You can read the file using fieldname+offset(length) eg.

mara-matnr+0(18).

Inorder to transfer the data in tab delimited form to Unix , you can use the following :

open dataset l_file .....

Concatenate itab-matnr

itab-matkx

into l_file

separated by cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.

tranfer l_file .....

close dataset....
