LITERAL EXTENDING INTO NEXT LINE :(

[Former Member]

Hi friends,

Here's a simple code I wrote.

The problem is , I get an error message saying the " literal extending into next line not allowed";

when I am giving the path for my file which is on the desktop.

Here's the code......

REPORT ZFUNCMOD .

PARAMETERS:

P_FILE LIKE RLGRAP-FILENAME DEFAULT 'C:\Documents and

Settings\Administrator\Desktop\TEST.xls'. " -> as u can see ,

"it has extended into the next line.i have tried to adjust ...but

DATA: T100 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF T001 WITH DEFAULT KEY.

SELECT * FROM T001 INTO TABLE T100.

CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_XLS_FORMAT'

EXPORTING

• I_FIELD_SEPERATOR =

• I_LINE_HEADER =

I_FILENAME = P_FILE

• I_APPL_KEEP = ' '

TABLES

I_TAB_SAP_DATA = T100

• CHANGING

• I_TAB_CONVERTED_DATA =

• EXCEPTIONS

• CONVERSION_FAILED = 1

• OTHERS = 2

.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

please let me know how to adjust that..

I TRIED THE FOLLOWING;AVOIDED GIVING THE DEFAULT FILENAME PATH AND IT DID WORK....

REPORT ZFUNCMOD.

PARAMETERS:

P_FILE LIKE RLGRAP-FILENAME. " DEFAULT 'C:\Documents and

"Settings\Administrator\Desktop\TEST.xls'.

at selection-screen on value-request for P_FILE.

CALL FUNCTION 'WS_FILENAME_GET'

EXPORTING

• DEF_FILENAME = ' '

• DEF_PATH = ' '

FILENAME = P_FILE

• RC =

• INV_WINSYS = 1

• NO_BATCH = 2

• SELECTION_ERROR = 4

• OTHERS = 5

.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

DATA: T100 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF T001 WITH DEFAULT KEY.

SELECT * FROM T001 INTO TABLE T100.

CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_XLS_FORMAT'

Try to use

PARAMETERS: P_FILE LIKE RLGRAP-FILENAME DEFAULT TEXT-001.

Then define text symbol 001 with 'C:\Documents and settings\Administrator\Desktop\TEST.xls'

Split the code just before your text literal

PARAMETERS: P_FILE LIKE RLGRAP-FILENAME DEFAULT

'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\TEST.xls'.

Hi,

I m not sure which version u r using.

Try this in the setting of ABAP editor.

Go to Utilities->Settings->ABAP Editor->Editor-> uncheck Downwards-Comp Line Lngth(72) checkbox.

when you use the '&' symbol, you need to make sure SAP puts the spaces in the right places

enter debug mode after the variable is initialized and check its contents properly

It may be 'C:\Documents andSettings\Administrator\Desktop\TEST.xls'

Hi,

all the replies mean that the default value that u r passing for your filename needs to be in one line.

either you urself type the default value in the next line or remove the tick in the checkbox for 'Downward Compatibility < 72'. it will have the same maening.

try doing it once.

1.

Split the code just before your text literal

PARAMETERS: P_FILE LIKE RLGRAP-FILENAME DEFAULT

'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\TEST.xls'.

Hi,

hi Hari,

PARAMETERS:

P_FILE LIKE RLGRAP-FILENAME DEFAULT 'C:\Documents and Settings\' &

'Administrator\Desktop\TEST.xls'.
