How to get the FIX-LENGTH non-unicode file in unicode system?

[Former Member]

I tried to use the GUI_UPLOAD

but it seems it cannot get the correct data by the length i defined if the record contains 2-byte words.

Hi,

I think it should work

try like this.

*--Call the function to get the file into an internal table.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'

EXPORTING

filename = lv_file

filetype = 'ASC'

TABLES

data_tab = pr_eord

EXCEPTIONS

file_open_error = 1

file_read_error = 2

no_batch = 3

gui_refuse_filetransfer = 4

invalid_type = 5

no_authority = 6

unknown_error = 7

bad_data_format = 8

header_not_allowed = 9

separator_not_allowed = 10

header_too_long = 11

unknown_dp_error = 12

access_denied = 13

dp_out_of_memory = 14

disk_full = 15

dp_timeout = 16

OTHERS = 17.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

• File not found.

MESSAGE e503.

ELSE.

Solved.Get all content to a string then use the following method

TRY.

CALL METHOD CL_ABAP_LIST_UTILITIES=>READ_FROM_DISPLAY_LAYOUT

EXPORTING

DISPLAY_DATA = IO_OUTPUT

DISPLAY_OFFSET = I_OFFSET

DISPLAY_LENGTH = I_LENTH

IMPORTING

FIELD = I_STRING.

CATCH CX_PARAMETER_INVALID_RANGE .

ENDTRY.
