Question:
hi
can somebody tell me how to upload data from a tab delimited file in background.
i have tried function module ws_upload but it raises exception when run in background
Answer:
hi
you can not use ws_upload to work in background
Instead
Use opendataset and Transfter .
Hope this will help.

Answer:
You will have to use OPEN DATASET DSN and
READ DATASET DSN INTO LONGSTRING.
Then SPLIT LONGSTRING AT delimiter INTO FLD1 FLD2 FLD3 etc....
Answer:
Thanx a lot it worked
Answer:
Hi Monica
Can you please post the code that uploads a file from background into an arbitrary internal table. I have the same problem and I have been struggling on it for 1 day.
Precisely I want to have a generic form routine that can read a given dataset and upload it into a internal table similar to what ws_upload does in foreground.
Thanks
Julie

Answer:
hi
the code i have written is not very generic. i am enclosing it, if it helps you
DATA: x(1) TYPE x VALUE '09'.
DATA:BEGIN OF itab1 OCCURS 10,
rec(62) TYPE c,
END OF itab1.
OPEN DATASET '/usr/sap/text.txt' IN TEXT MODE.
*READ the file "/usr/sap/text.txt".
DO.
READ DATASET '/usr/sap/text.txt INTO ITAB1.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
SPLIT ITAB1-REC AT X INTO ITAB-fld1 ITAB-fld2 ITAB-fld3.
APPEND ITAB.
ENDDO.
