An ftp interface from SAP to a Windows server is producing double spaced output following an upgrade to ECC 6 (Unicode). It works fine with the sapftp RFC destination but not with the sapftpa RFC destination. I am using function module FTP_R3_TO_SERVER and binary. I am using binary because this particular interface has never worked with ascii. The record length is 9999 and the field delimiter | and all the characters standard keyboard characters. Is there a limit on record length for ascii transfers? The settings for the 2 RFC destinations are the same except for sapftpa running on the server of course. What can I change do to get normal output?
Request clarification before answering.
Neil,
This is what I could find from one of the FTP related forum.Might help your case.
It's caused by downloading line breaked files from Unix to Windows (most-likely) whereas Unix files are single spaced (CR) while on windows double spaced (CR LF).
When converting these while downloading your files from FTP, this results in a line breaking of CR CR LF which causes the double spacings.
You could
1. Convert all double spacing to single spacing using TextPad (extra -> convert to single spacing)
2. Download the files from FTP using BINARY transfer mode (which does not change anything)
Regards
Amit
