How to convert internal tables to .tsv format

[Former Member]

Hello Colleagues,

    Before you all ask me to check the existing threads for this, i tried a lot searching for it but it was of no help hence i have to ask this question.

My requirement is to build a index file with .tsv format and write the same to the application server.In order to write it to the server i can make use of open dataset and close dataset but how do i convert the internal table to .tsv format? Do i write it to a string separated by TAB and save it as .tsv?

Please please let me know about it.

Thanks a ton in advance!!

Regards,

Urbashi

Hi,

I don't know the .tsv  maybe you could explain the specificity .. 

I think you will have to do it manually

Hi Urbashi,

I don't know if there is an FM that can do your requirement but if I were you, I'll proceed as follow:

1. Open dataset filename
2. Concatenate all fields into one string value which should be separated by TAB (cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab)
3. transfer it to filename
4. close dataset

Hope it helps.

Rgds,

Hi Urbashi

TSV is nothing but tab separated values. So you can use CL_CHAR_UTILITY stuff to concatenate you table in to one big string and write it to application server which you know.
