Hi Rayapu,

Create an intenal table with exactly the same structure like data in the file and use FM: UPLOAD <b>or</b>

FM: GUI_UPLOAD <b>or</b>

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload

e.g:

CALL FUNCTION 'UPLOAD'

EXPORTING

filename = 'C:\test.txt '

filetype = 'DAT'

TABLES

data_tab = t_tab.

Hi,

Here is the example Program

*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*& Report  ZUPLOADTAB                                                  *
*&                                                                     *

PARAMETERS: p_infile  LIKE rlgrap-filename
                        OBLIGATORY DEFAULT  '/usr/sap/'..

*DATA: ld_file LIKE rlgrap-filename.

*Internal tabe to store upload data
TYPES: BEGIN OF t_record,

*String value to data in initially.
DATA: wa_string(255) TYPE c.

CONSTANTS: con_tab TYPE x VALUE '09'.

*If you have Unicode check active in program attributes then you will
*need to declare constants as follows:

report ztest_0001.

data: begin of itab occurs 0,

field1(20) type c,

field2(20) type c,

end of itab.

data: str type string.

constants: con_tab type x value '09'.

• if you have a newer version, then you can use this instead.

*constants:

• con_tab type c value cl_abap_char_utilities=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.

append itab.

itab-field2 = '456'.

itab-field3 = '789'.

append itab.

open dataset d1 for output in text mode.

loop at itab.

concatenate itab-field1 itab-field2 itab-field2 into str

separated by con_tab.

transfer str to d1.

endloop.

close dataset d1.

Declare internal table

Data: begin of itab occurs 0,

field1(10) type C,

field2(5) type c,

field3 type vbak-vbeln,

...

end of itab.

u can use GUI_UPLOAD to get the data in internal tbale.

give the filename in GUI_UPLOAD and file type as ASC

and store in ur internal table

[Former Member]

Use FM : GUI_UPLOAD and give field separator parameter as 'X'.
