Spliting the file

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Iam getting one file as input i have to split the file based on the length of the fields.My input file format is

plant = char(4)

material = char(18)

ship_to = char(10)

amount = curr(11)dec(2)(KONP-kbetr)

unit = cuky(5)

qty_per = dec(5)

valid_from_date = dats(8)

valid_to_date = dats(8)

action_code = char(1)

can any one provide the code for this.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

you need to work with:

call function 'WS_UPLOAD'

EXPORTING

filename = pa_file

filetype = 'DAT'

TABLES

data_tab = it_record

EXCEPTIONS

conversion_error = 1

file_open_error = 2

file_read_error = 3

invalid_table_width = 4

invalid_type = 5

no_batch = 6

unknown_error = 7

gui_refuse_filetransfer = 8

others = 9.

it_record is your internal table with all fields and length.

Hi

If you mean that your file total length is 100 .

But you want data upto length 50 in one fiel/table and data from 51 to 100 in another table/file.

Use offsets to achieve this .

Foe eg :

Loop at <input file> INTO g_r_input .

workarea1 = g_r_input+0(50) .

append table1 .

workarea2 = g_r_input+51(100) .

append table2 .

CLEAR : workarea1 , workarea2 .

ENDLOOP .

If u need something else let us know .

Thanks.
