How to read datasets with delimiters

Posted on Feb 23, 2005 at 11:34 AM 10 Views

Hi,

we are trying to read a file from <b>Application server</b> in to an internal table using datasets.

The structure of internal table is

DATA : BEGIN OF IT_FILE_DATA OCCURS 10,

OBDNO(10), "OBD NO

BUDAT(10), "DATE

QTY(17), "QTY

UNIT(3), "UNIT

STOCKTYP(1), "STOCK TYPE

END OF IT_FILE_DATA.

And the data in flat file in Application server looks like

8010915223.02.20052MT1 , ie separated by ~ .

Is there any way by which by a single "read dataset" command , we can get the fields from file in to corresponding fields of the work area?

Thanx in advance ,

Regards,

Sriram.

    Hi Sriram!

    Use read dataset with a text variable (e.g. char50).

    Then use split text at '~' into it_file_data-obdno it_file_data-budat...

    This should do the job.

    Regards,

    Christian

    Hi,

    Here's an example:

    READ DATASET DSIN INTO WA.

    SPLIT WA AT '~' INTO TABLE SPTAB.

    LOOP AT SPTAB.

    IDX = IDX + 1.

    ASSIGN COMPONENT IDX OF STRUCTURE IT_FILE_DATA TO <FS1>.

    If sy-subrc = 0.

    <FS1> = SPTAB-field.

    Endif.

    Endloop.

    Regards Andreas
