Export Data To Fixed Length File

Posted on Oct 08, 2007 at 11:31 PM 50 Views

Hello,

I have a requirement to export a couple of files that need to be in a fixed length format.

I've tried opening the dataset and writing the records passing the column that the records should appear:

WRITE /, field1, 10 field2, etc...

I've also tried to do it through SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT and the text version as well.

Is there a predefined function that will allow me to export as fixed length?

Thank you in advance

    Hi Jeff,

    Following is the code to do the same:

    DATA: file TYPE string VALUE `flights.dat`, 
      wa   TYPE spfli. 

FIELD-SYMBOLS TYPE x. 

OPEN DATASET file FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE. 

SELECT * 
       FROM spfli 
       INTO wa. 
  ASSIGN wa TO CASTING. 
  TRANSFER TO file. 
* TRANSFER LENGTH 200 to file.

ENDSELECT. 

CLOSE DATASET file.

    Best regards,

    Prashant
