Unable to call URL due to space in url parameters

[former_member199125]

Guys,

I need you all ideas on this.

I need to pass file name( generally file name contains spaces, right? ) as parameter in One URL.

I am calling URL using external window  concept, but while calling it is throwing error , and it says fata error script ..... it means url contains spaces....

URL is

  http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?~transaction=*ZPMS_UPLOAD%20P_DOCID=LV_AP_DOC...

here lv_file_name is string contains file name say for ex:C:\Users\srinivassana\Documents and Settings.................

So while calling URL it is throwing error due to space in file name.

Thanks and Regards

Srinvias

No only the blanks but also the backslashes must be URL encoded.

blank = %20

\ = %5C

C:\Users\srinivassana\Documents and Settings\test.txt

C%3A%5CUsers%5Csrinivassana%5CDocuments%20and%20Settings%5Ctest.txt

Thaks Uwe,

Thats the correct solution.

Did you ever come across that situation? if not, how do you find above convention (%5C )?

This is the standard for all URLs, has nothing to do with SAP.

When ever you are passing any URl take care that if there is any space then insert %20 in that space and then it would work.

I think when we open any URL in which parameters are separated by space, the browser replaces each space with a specific character string. Something like %20. Just try executing the URL on your own, find this string and in your application replace spaces in file name with this string.

Hope this works.

Are you sure this error is coming because of spaces in file name? Have you tried with a file name without any spaces?

Also, this thread suggests that it could be browser issue as well.
