Splitting all of the fields of a tab delmtd tab w/o splitting into each fld
Hi all,
Does anyone know if it is possible to split a tab delimited table withou splitting it into each field. I have a table with a huge number of fields. I want to split the contents into a table (of the same structure) without splitting into each field.
i.e.
SPLIT record AT x_tab INTO x_record-lgnum x_record-lgtyp x_record-lgber
x_record-lgpla x_record-lptyp x_record-lgewi x_record-lkapv... etc etc
The problem in this is what if there's a lot of fields to be appended? Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.
You can try something as below:
TYPES: BEGIN OF t_sal,
vbeln TYPE vbeln_va,
posnr TYPE posnr_va,
END OF t_sal.
DATA: i_sal TYPE TABLE OF t_sal,
wa_sal TYPE t_sal,
l_data TYPE char1024.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fld>, <wa> TYPE t_sal.
CONSTANTS: c_tab TYPE char1
VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
PARAMETERS: p_file TYPE filename OBLIGATORY LOWER CASE.
START-OF-SELECTION.
OPEN DATASET p_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
MESSAGE e001(00) WITH 'Unable to open file:' p_file.
ELSE.
ASSIGN wa_sal TO <wa> CASTING.
DO.
READ DATASET p_file INTO l_data.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
EXIT.
ELSE.
DO .
ASSIGN COMPONENT sy-index OF STRUCTURE <wa> TO <fld>.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
SPLIT l_data AT c_tab INTO <fld> l_data.
ENDDO.
APPEND wa_sal TO i_sal.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
ENDIF.Regards

I think this is slow processing compared to specifying the field names with the split command.
Eg., SPLIT <text> INTO <fld1> <fld2> ...
