How to specify the semicolon as separator in Eclipse with ADT ABAP Development Tools plugin

[Vlad_Ghitulescu]

Hey,

I'm using Eclipse Version: 2023-12 (4.30.0) with ADT 3.34.1 on a MacBook Pro 13" (M3, 2022) running macOS Ventura Version 13.6.3.

I need to download the table GT_ADRSTREET from Eclipse (see the attached screenshot) 

with the fields separated by semicolon.

Unfortunately there is no setting for the separator in Eclipse and the downloaded TXT-file looks like this:

Is there any other way to specify the separator in Eclipse?

Thanks!

Note: Trying to output the table directly as semicolon-separated CSV with the function module SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT leads to a TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED - error due to the size of the table.

Regards,
Vlad

> Your title is highly misleading then, concerning "in Eclipse with ADT ABAP Development Tools plugin". That would be the same question with SE80. You are simply asking how to convert an internal table into CSV with semicolon (which has been asked a hundred times in the forum by the way).

I'm sorry if my title is not clear enough.

I don't want to be pedantic - only to clarify: I was NOT asking how to convert an internal table into CSV with semicolon - I already know and did this already, as I wrote in the note to the original posting.

I wanted to know if there is a way to specify another separator in Eclipse with ADT. This is what I'm using, so any reference to SE80 would not be relevant. 

BTW my very question is still unanswered 😀

I solved my problem - getting the table GT_ADRSTREET as a semicolon-separated CSV-file - by replacing the TAB with semicolon in the file I downloaded from Eclipse.
