Blank line in file, but if you download it with Internet Explorer. (??)

Hello guys.

I have a new qestion for you.

My problem is this:

I have a report that creates a file in Unix.

When I read that file from an Abap program, the file it's ok. When I download it from a web based system the file has a blank line at the end of the file.

I tried the CR+FL solution, tried specifying the length of the record in the transfer.

Nothing works.

The most strange thing is that if I download the file accesing from Firefox browser, the file it's ok, but with Internet Explorer the bloddy blank line appears...

Do you have any idea on how to solve this????

I am not sure I understood it correctly. Which program (is it in ABAP) creates the file? Which program reads the file?

When you say downloading from web based system, what exactly is this web based system and how is that downloading the file that is written in ABAP (if it is written in ABAP)?

A Z program creates the file (text) in Unix.

Then, the users download the file using a web application. Just access to the server and download the file to your computer.

I did a little z program to check if the file was being created correctly (without the blank line), and yes, the file it's ok.

But I realized that the problem, maybe, is related to the web browser used to access that page.

So, my question is: Did someone had a similar problem?

Hi Siva!

Well... We haven't found the solution yet. It has to be a problem with Internet Explorer because if you check the fine in UNIX, that blank line doesn't exist.

Hi Bettina,

thanks for your response .

I found one document that CR+FL in unix system is different from Windows.

u get one extra line under windows when dowmloading file from unix system.

As u said, CR+FL solution is implemented in program,could u please provide this solution ,to try in our scenario.

thanks & Regards
