GUI_UPLOAD vs. WS_UPLOAD

[Clemenss]

Hi,

sorry to bore you with this one:

I used METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>GUI_UPLOAD to get the contents of an ASCII file into an internal table with records of structure Text1000, (default) FILETYPE = 'ASC'.

My ASCII file was not fully loaded, only line 1 of my internal table got populated, LF not recognized.

I tried WS_UPLOAD with filetype = 'ASC' and got as many records as I really have in File.

I suppose it is something about the line-breaks in the file. It is exported from Navision Axapta and transported via ftp.

Still I don't know why the 'recommended' new method 'GUI_UPLOAD' does not work at all.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

Check whether u have passed the parameters correctly

Uploading files from PC(Presentation Server)

There are also a number of other function modules which could be used for uploading/downloding files

between SAP and the presentation server.

*   Retrieve data file from presentation server(Upload from PC)
DATA: i_file like rlgrap-filename value '/usr/sap/tmp/file.txt'.  
DATA: begin of it_datatab occurs 0,
  row(500) type c,
 end of it_datatab.

  CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
       EXPORTING
            filename        = i_file
            filetype        = 'ASC'
       TABLES
            data_tab        = it_datatab  "ITBL_IN_RECORD[]
       EXCEPTIONS
            file_open_error = 1
            OTHERS          = 2.

Difference method 'GUI_UPLOAD' and function 'GUI_UPLOAD' is importing parameter.

Function's importing parameter has 'READ_BY_LINE', and default value is 'X'.

But 'READ_BY_LINE' is not parameter of method.

I think Function 'GUI_UPLOAD' default value not effected.

Please, Try Debug...

Thanks.

cross check your code

data: wa_file type string.

data: tab_file like table of wa_file,

pcount type i.

field-symbols <tab> type standard table.

CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES

exporting

DIRECTORY = 'C:\test'

FILTER = '.'

FILES_ONLY = 'X'

• DIRECTORIES_ONLY

changing

FILE_TABLE = tab_file

count = pcount.

ASSIGN ('internal_table') TO <tab>.

loop at tab_file into wa_file.

CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_UPLOAD

exporting

FILENAME = wa_file

changing

data_tab = <tab>.

endloop.

be careful with those functions.
