DATA TRANSFER - How to get a SINGLE SPACE in the downloaded file from UNIX?

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Am sending data from SAP to UNIX/ Application server and text file on desk top as well.

So, I am keeping a single character just SPACE at the END of each record.

Then, When I see the downloaded text file, I found a SINGLE SPACE at the end of each record, fine.

Then, by using CG3Y t code, I downloaded the UNIX file to my desk top.

But, When I see this UNIX downloaded file from UNIX, I did NOT find any SPACE at the end of each record!!!

Am doing every thing same in both cases.

So,

1 - Why its happening in case of UNIX file?

2 - How to get a SINGLE SPACE at the END in the downloaded file from UNIX?

concatenate with a space at the end.. in unix I doubt if you would be able to see the space..

generally ppl use page breaker or line feed at the end of each row.

data: vl_feed type X value '/OD'.

data: co_line_feed TYPE x VALUE '0D'.
;;;;

CONCATENATE lf_line co_line_feed INTO lf_line.
APPEND lf_line TO p_output_file.
CLEAR lf_line.

Which format did you use for the transfer in CG3Y. IF you did not use ASCII. try using it next time and see if that solved the problem.

I tried with suggestion of another expert in another thread, but, am getting syntax errorr saying that,

IF I USE CONCATENATE, the LF SHULD BE A CHARACTER TYPE, not " X " type

Hi,

I don't know if this works:

perform SET_TRAIL_BLANKS(saplgrap) using 'X'.

perform SET_FIXLEN(saplgrap) using '0' '060'. "put length of your line from-to

... download ...

It will put space at the end of your line, according to the length.

Hope it works,

Chang
