Writing in a in file and going to a new line.

[Former Member]

Hello.

There's something in a program i am currently writing.

I'm trying to write in 2 files with a format like this :

line1.....
line2.....

In the first file, everything is ok but in the second file, with exactly the same instructions, instead og getting my file like i need it, i've something like that :

line1......               line2....

Here is the code i'm using to write in the file :

  DATA : t_ent_estim like STANDARD TABLE OF ZVOIENT WITH HEADER LINE.

  LOOP AT t_ent_estim.
    TRANSFER t_ent_estim TO p_fici.
  ENDLOOP.

  PERFORM close_file(zvoiform) USING p_fici w_result.

The only difference is that in one case i use an internal table and in the other i use a structure i created myself :

DATA : BEGIN OF tbl_csv_trans OCCURS 0,
        s_csvdata(400),
       END OF tbl_csv_trans.

Anybody can explain to me why with the internal table, the instruction transfer does not write in a new line each occurence of my table ?

Thanks for the help.

Hi Helder,

I have also used a structure, and it works fine for me.

Check whether you have opened the file in text mode.

data : BEGIN OF i_final_file OCCURS 0,

record(300) TYPE c,

END OF i_final_file,

• Open the file for output **********************

OPEN DATASET wa_c_filename FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.

IF sy-subrc NE 0.

MESSAGE a999 WITH 'The file could not be created'.

ENDIF.

• Write line items to file ************************

LOOP AT i_final_file.

TRANSFER i_final_file TO wa_c_filename.

ENDLOOP.

• Close the file ******************************

CLOSE DATASET wa_c_filename.

Hi,

1.When you use first case it will automatically adjust according to the entered data length .

2.In the second case , the data will be fit according to the length of the field structure.

Hi,

are you using the Open data set in text mode both the places.

OPEN DATASET P_FILE FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

if not change it and see..

Thanks Vijay.

What a silly error i did :-X

I use a form to open the DATASET in text mode, and i forgot to call it just before writing in the file...
