Error in loading flat file

[Former Member]

Hi

I am getting following error when try to upload master data through flat file.

The syntax error is showing in the following program.

CB_SEND_REQUEST_BCS===========CP

The method is showing as below

Method "IF_OS_FACTORY~DELETE_PERSISTENT" has already been implemented.

Any help in this is highly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

In my experience, FLAT File errors are normally caused by the following:

1.) The structure of the file being loaded does not conform to the way it was defined in RSA1 (Transfer Structure/Communication Structure).

2.) The file being loaded is out of reach by the server specially PC File. Network securities/permission (ACCESS IS DENIED) things contribute to the errors.

3.) The file contains unncessary formatting not visible in "<b>NOTEPAD</b>". (Hidden characters)

Has there been a successful load of FLAT FILES eversince using the Data Source used here? Try to locate the old files "<b>THAT WORKED</b>" and see if it will still work. Be careful not to do this in BW PROD. Just test the new file vs the old file in "<b>BW DEV</b>". If the previous file worked, the problem lies in your new file. Compare them for obvious differences. If the old file did not worked also, hmm, something has changed in your BW Communication Structure or Security Settings over the network...

Hope it helps!

Hi Rajasekhar,

Is the file available in the Application server of local drive. Have you given all the parameters correctly in the External Data tab of the info-package. You can chekc whether the file is of proper fromat by clicking on the preview button in the External Data tab.
