Re: Filename Selection Issue..

Hi,

The upload can go like:

     CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
         EXPORTING
           filename = gv_fpath
           filetype = 'ASC'
         CHANGING
           data_tab = gt_line_itm
         EXCEPTIONS
           OTHERS   = 1.
       IF sy-subrc NE 0.
         MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
               WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

       ENDIF.

Then do the following considering there is no header data :

READ gt_line_itm INTO wa_line_itm INDEX 1.

Split the work area data based on separator. Assumption are the columns are separated by comma or space. Also

wa_line_itm

should have structure like

TYPES: BEGIN OF x_line_itm,
                line(10000) TYPE c,
            END OF x_line_itm.

The split logic with w_30fields as a structure with 30 fileds each say type C and length 40.

SPLIT w_line_itm AT gc_sep INTO w_30fields-field1

                                                   w_30fields-field2

                                                   w_30fields-field3

                                                   w_30fields-field4

                                                   w_30fields-field5

.... goes on till 30 fields

                                               IN CHARACTER MODE.

Then check field 7

IF w_30fields-field7 IS space the file is 6 columns. Thats all

Cheers,
