regarding transfering data to application server

[Former Member]

tables: BUT000.

types: t_but000 type but000.

data: it_but000 type standard table of t_but000,

wa_but000 type t_but000.

data : BP_file(1000) type c.

constants: path_directory(18) type c value '/usr/sap/tmp/Bn_I7'.

START-OF-SELECTION.

select * from but000

into table it_but000

where type = '1' and

crdat = sy-datum.

concatenate path_directory SY-DATUM into BP_file.

OPEN DATASET bp_file IN BINARY MODE FOR OUTPUT ENCODING DEFAULT.

if sy-subrc <> 0.

write: 'not able to open the file'.

endif.

loop at it_but000 into wa_but000.

*transfer the data

TRANSFER wa_but000 TO bp_file.

endloop.

Hi guys,

Above is my code when i run that it go to dump

my program got activated

when I press F8

1. my program go to dump with message

error analysis

For the statement

"TRANSFER f TO ..."

only character-type data objects are supported at the argument position

"f".

In this case. the operand "f" has the non-character-type "T_BUT000". The

current program is a Unicode program. In the Unicode context, the type

'X' or structures containing not only character-type components are

regarded as non-character-type.

2.I can see the file in application server, but when I go to open that file I get message as UNABLE TO DISPLAY THIS FILE

1. tranfer statement works olny for character values. if u ahve any values other than charater type, convert those values into character type.

2. close the opened close with

close dataset bp_file statement.

and file type should be of type sxpgcolist-parameters.

bp_file TYPE sxpgcolist-parameters

how can I convert the files datatype I have total 100 fields

and I extracted saying select * how can I find which is of not char type.

Hi ,

One long way is , TRANSFER each field to the file using offsets

TRANSFER : wa_BUT00-field1 to bp_file+0(10),

wa_BUT00-field2 to bp_file+10(10),

wa_BUT00-field3 to bp_file+20(10),

..........................

Another way is concatenate all the fields into a field of char type and TRANSFER that Field to the file

Loop at itab.

concatenate itab-field1 itab-field2 ...........into V_CHAR.

TRANSFER V_CHAR to bp_file

Endloop.
