Hi Megha,

just after reading a line, you may SPLIT this line into several fields at every tab. For example:

data: l_tab type x value '09'.
data: l_string_from_file(200) type c.  "<-- here you'll get the file content
data: begin of lt_columns occurs 0,
        field(50) type c,
      end of lt_columns.
split l_string_from_file at l_tab into table lt_columns.

I hope it helps. Best regards,

Alvaro
